Many family caregivers try to do it all. But over time, it can wear you down—and put your loved one at risk.

At Home Instead Pittsburgh, we’ve delivered over 690,000 hours of care to help families in Regent Square, Swissvale, Braddock, and beyond feel supported, not stressed.

Home care can help when:

• You’re struggling to keep up with caregiving
• Your loved one’s needs are increasing
• You want to focus on your relationship—not just responsibilities
• You need a break to care for yourself too

We offer flexible support, so you can stay involved—without being overwhelmed.

It depends on your family’s goals—but for many older adults in Pittsburgh’s East End and Mon Valley, in-home care is the most personalized and flexible option.

Benefits of in-home care:

• One-on-one support tailored to your loved one
• Care happens in familiar surroundings
• Routines, pets, and comfort stay in place
• No major life disruption or move required

Why choose Home Instead over hiring privately?

Hiring a caregiver on your own means you handle:

• Payroll, taxes, and background checks
• Liability and insurance
• Backup if someone cancels

With Home Instead Pittsburgh, you get:

• Screened, trained, and insured Care Pros
• No long-term contracts
• 24/7 local office support
• Fast starts—usually within 48 hours

In-home care provides customized support that helps older adults stay at home—safely and with dignity.
