In-home care in Smyrna, Delaware
Home care in Smyrna, Delaware. Personal care, companionship, meals, medication reminders
and respite, by the hour or the day.
A town a lot of agencies will not drive to
Smyrna sits on the line between New Castle County and Kent County, which in practice means a fair number of home
care agencies treat it as somebody else’s problem. Families here are used to being told that a provider covers the
area, and then finding that the hours available are whatever is left over.
We serve both counties, and Smyrna is not an outpost of either as far as we are concerned
In a small town, who comes into the house matters
People here tend to know each other, and word travels. That cuts both ways for an agency, and we would rather it did.
Every caregiver is background checked and properly insured before they ever reach a front door, and we would rather
lose an enquiry than send somebody we are not certain about.
Where we can, the same caregiver comes each time. Rotating strangers through an elderly person’s kitchen is not
care, whatever the schedule says.
What help looks like here
Personal care, including washing, dressing and getting safely around the home. Companionship and conversation.
Cooking a proper meal and sitting down to it together. Light housekeeping and laundry. Medication reminders. Driving
to appointments, including the longer runs south or north that a neighbour cannot be asked to do every week. And
respite for a husband or wife who has been caring alone.
Don't hesitate to contact us.
What it costs and how to start
The first conversation is free and carries no obligation. You will have the price in writing before care starts. There is no
contract, no deposit and no minimum number of hours.
If you want to stop, you stop. Families should be able to leave an agency easily, and the ones that make it hard are
telling you something.
