Home Instead

Good morning! I don't know.

We provide in home non-medical care for Seniors in Harford and Cecil Counties. Two types of services are provided, Companion Care which includes socialization, medication reminders, meal preparation, grocery shopping and errand running, accompanying to doctor’s appointments, laundry and light housekeeping. Personal Care services include help with bathing, dressing, incontinence care and mobility assistance. Prior to the start of service, we meet with the client to determine the type of care needed and the schedule they would like. For personal care clients, our nurse completes an assessment and writes up a care plan for the caregivers to follow. Our shifts are flexible and range from two shifts a week right through to 24/7 care. Costs vary depending upon the level of care needed

Hi Omar, We do not provide HHA training since that is skilled medical care and we are a non-medical home health agency. Thanks for checking in!

Current protocol includes required face masks during shifts; required testing for CAREGivers who travel out of state; required self-monitoring for symptoms, including daily temperature checks; and strict adherence to all standard precautions, including hand hygiene, wearing appropriate protective equipment and disinfecting touchpoints.
