IN-HOME CARE SERVICES

A Way to Stay is a Pennsylvania licensed Home Care Agency.  We provide non-medical care for older adults that enables them to remain at home when they need additional help. Our Caregivers assist with “activities of daily living” and are trained to notice and report changes in behavior, health, and state-of-mind in your loved one. We provide ongoing supervision and continuous learning programs to keep them engaged and at the top of their profession.  We recognize the need for scheduling flexibility and tailored care, call us and we can discuss a plan that fits your situation.

Hourly/24-hour/Short-term/ Long-term/Live-In

Whether you need us for a few hours, days or longer, we can help. Our rates range from $20-$24/hr, depending on level of care and number of hours per day. Services are based upon a minimum of one 3- hour block of service per week.  We begin service with a call to discuss your needs.  Even if you need someone tomorrow, or today for that matter, a twenty-minute conversation gets everyone aligned and on the right path. When time allows, our Care Manager meets with the family in the home to design a care plan.
