Something changed today and he can't be alone tonight. Call us and we'll tell you within the hour whether we can cover it, and what it takes.
We are not an emergency service and not a medical provider. If he is hurt, unresponsive, having chest pain, or showing signs of a stroke, call 911.
What we handle is the day after the emergency, when the hospital is ready to send him home and nobody is available to be there. That's a different problem, and it's the one that usually gets families stuck.
The hospital decided this morning that he's going home this afternoon, and he can't manage stairs or the bathroom alone. See post-surgery recovery care.
He wasn't seriously hurt, but the family has decided he can't keep being alone at night, and that decision was made today.
An aide stopped showing up or gave no notice, and there's a gap starting tomorrow morning.
His wife has been doing the lifting, and now she's the one in the hospital or on bed rest. Two people need help at once.
The daughter who covers weekends has a work trip or a funeral, and the coverage disappears for four days.
He was managing last month and isn't now. Something has clearly changed, and it can't wait for a long assessment process.
We'd rather tell you the truth on the phone than promise a caregiver we can't deliver.
For a first-time client, about two days is the usual start. That time buys a proper match rather than whoever happens to be free.
For urgent 24-hour placements it can happen, most often for hospital discharges. Expedited starts can carry an additional fee, and you'll hear the number before you agree to anything.
Even when we can't cover it, you'll know quickly, so you can call someone else instead of waiting on us.
If he needs skilled nursing, or care we can't staff safely, we'll tell you that on the first call and point you somewhere better.
Care is private pay, starting at $28 an hour and going up depending on the case, with round-the-clock coverage quoted per day. See what care costs. We don't bill Medicaid, Medicare, or VA benefits.
If it's after hours or you'd rather write it out, send the details and we'll come straight back to you.
A friendly, no-pressure conversation.
