Private pay

Paying privately, and care that starts sooner.

Families can pay for care directly, with no Medicaid and no insurance involved. It is the simplest route there is: you agree the care, you agree the schedule, and it begins. Nothing has to be approved first.

We also accept Medicaid waiver, and we will tell you plainly which applies to your family. How care gets paid for.

Who private pay suits

01

Care can start quickly

There is no application to be approved and no program to wait on. Once you and our team have talked it through and agreed a schedule, visits can begin — often within days.

02

You choose the hours

Private pay means the schedule is yours. A few mornings a week for bathing and dressing, an afternoon of company, or help every morning. It can change as your family changes.

03

No program to qualify for

Some families are not eligible for a funded program, or are on a waiting list for one. Paying privately means the care does not have to wait for a decision someone else makes.

The same care, arranged around you

Paying privately does not mean a smaller version of the service. It is the same non-medical help, on the days and at the hours your family chooses.

See every kind of help
  • Bathing, grooming and dressing, with dignity and the door closed
  • Meal planning, cooking and help at the table
  • Getting up, moving safely around the house, and steadying on the stairs
  • Medication reminders and keeping the pill organizer straight
  • Light housekeeping, laundry and tidying the kitchen
  • Companionship — a card game, a walk, an afternoon that is not so quiet
  • Transportation to appointments, the pharmacy and the grocery store
  • Errands, and help getting the shopping put away

How it works

Four steps, and the first one is a conversation.

  1. 01

    Call, or send the form

    Tell us what has gotten hard. A few minutes is usually enough, and there is no charge for the conversation.

  2. 02

    Talk through what is needed

    We ask about the person you are caring for — how they get around, what they can still do, what the family is covering now — and say honestly what would help.

  3. 03

    Agree a schedule

    The days and hours are worked out with you, around your family’s week rather than an office’s.

  4. 04

    Care begins

    The same caregiver, on the days you agreed. If something changes, you call and the schedule changes.

On cost

You will know the cost before anything starts.

What care costs depends on how much help is needed and how often, so we work it out with you rather than posting a number that would not fit every family.

What you can count on is that it is agreed clearly up front, in a conversation, before a single visit happens — so there are no surprise invoices afterwards.

Ask on the first call. It is a fair question and we answer it plainly.

Private pay enquiry

Tell us what would help.

Name and a phone number is all that is required. Everything else helps us come to the call prepared.

Please keep medical details out of the form — what our team needs to know is what has become difficult around the house. That conversation is better on the phone.
