What is Home Care?

Home Care is when you can get support and non-medical services from home from our trusted, experienced, and passionate caregivers. The services we provide are customized to fit your non-medical health-related needs.

 

What is the difference between Home Care and Home Health Care?

​

Home care is what we, Sweet Potato Society Inc., do. We go to our clients home and provide them with PCA (Personal Care Assistant) services that are non-medical but are health-related. Our caregivers and health aide workers make sure that our clients are in the right state of health, body and mind, through daily activities, such as exercising and going out into town, eating properly with meal plans, and daily medicine reminders. Home Health Care is when a certified, experienced health care worker, such as a trained and certified PCA, comes to a client's home and helps them recover from an illness, surgery, injury, etc.

How much does Home Care cost?

Each Home Care plan is different. We recommend contacting us to see which customizable plan works for you!

Are there any specific services your business does not provide?

​

Sweet Potato Society Inc. does not provide home health care at this time. This means we do not bring in health care PCA services that are recommended by our client's physician. We have non-medical home health workers that will give med reminders, take temperatures, assist with daily living, etc., but they are not qualified to do the job that a home health care PCA can do for a client.
