Aging in place is a gift. It allows your loved one to remain in the comfort of familiar surroundings while maintaining dignity and independence. Yet as needs change, many families find themselves asking:
“What type of in-home care is the right fit for us?”
At EPAGA Home Care, we believe you deserve clear, compassionate guidance during this decision-making process. Here’s what you need to know about the different types of in-home care so you can confidently choose the level of support your loved one needs to thrive.
—Companionship Care—
What it is:
Companion care focuses on emotional well-being and social connection. Caregivers engage in conversation, play games, read aloud, go on walks, assist with light housekeeping, and provide gentle encouragement throughout the day.
Who it’s for:
Seniors who are largely independent but would benefit from companionship to reduce loneliness, promote mental stimulation, and add joy to daily life.
—Personal Care—
What it is:
Personal care includes all the benefits of companion care with hands-on assistance for daily activities. This may include bathing, dressing, grooming, toileting, mobility assistance, meal preparation, and medication reminders.
Who it’s for:
Seniors who wish to remain at home but need extra support to maintain routines safely and comfortably.
—Respite Care—
What it is:
Respite care provides short-term, temporary care to give family caregivers a break. This care can range from a few hours a week to several days or weeks at a time.
Who it’s for:
Family caregivers who need time to rest, attend to personal matters, or travel while ensuring their loved one is cared for in a safe, comforting environment.
—Dementia and Alzheimer’s Care—
What it is:
This specialized care supports seniors living with dementia or Alzheimer’s, using structured routines, gentle redirection, and personalized activities to reduce confusion and anxiety.
Who it’s for:
Individuals with memory loss who need compassionate care in familiar surroundings to support dignity, safety, and comfort.
—Live-In and 24-Hour Care—
What it is:
For seniors requiring continuous supervision and care, live-in or 24-hour care ensures a caregiver is always available to assist with needs day and night.
Who it’s for:
Those with advanced care needs, mobility challenges, or conditions requiring around-the-clock support while remaining in their home.
