It depends on your family’s needs—but if your loved one wants to stay in their own home, in-home care can be the most flexible, personalized, and reassuring option. It allows older adults to age in the place they love most: their own home.
According to AARP, nearly 90% of adults over 65 want to age in place. Our team helps make that possible every day here in Whitehall, PA.
In-home care vs. assisted living
Assisted living can be great for those who want a communal setting and are ready to relocate. But if your loved one wants to stay at home, in-home care offers:
- One-on-one attention in familiar surroundings
- A flexible schedule that fits your lifestyle
- Support with meals, mobility, personal care, and companionship
- Help from Care Pros who get to know your loved one—building trust and routine
In-home care vs. hiring a private caregiver
Hiring an independent caregiver can seem less expensive—but it comes with risk. As the employer, you’d be responsible for payroll, insurance, and coverage when they can’t show up.
With Home Instead, we handle everything:
- Professional hiring, training, and supervision
- Background checks, insurance, and 24/7 backup support
- Personalized matches and no long-term contracts
We’ve delivered over 795K hours of care across Whitehall, PA—and we’re proud to offer a team you can count on.
Still deciding? Many families try in-home care first to see how it feels—with no long-term commitment.
