We get many questions from families seeking quality senior health care for their loved ones in the Upper Merion area. Below are just a few. You can find more on our FAQ page.

How Does Neighborly Home Care Hire Caregivers?

All of our caregivers complete a thorough interview process that includes review of:

• previous work experience
• years of caregiving
• medical or healthcare experience
• certifications
• past work references
• license requirements
• verification to determine their eligibility to work in the U.S.
• required vaccinations and other medical checks
• national criminal background check
• Neighborly Home Care’s own HHA test, along with a skills assessment and company policy and procedure orientation.

And since all Neighborly Home Care caregivers are our employees, they are licensed and covered by NHC’s worker’s compensation and liability insurance.

What is the difference between live-in care, 24/7 care and hourly care?

Live-in care service: an individual comes to the home and stays with your senior loved one. While there to assist you, they eat, sleep, and are a guest in your home. Live-in caregivers require a place to sleep, the proper time necessary to sleep, and a bathroom that they can use.

24/7 care:  Service for seniors who require close supervision at all times. This service is billed hourly. 24/7 care is different from live-in care because three caregivers work in shifts to ensure the individual in need always has the proper supervision.
Hourly care: For people who require intermittent assistance, hourly service is available anywhere from 2 to 24 hours a day.

Do You Provide Transportation?

Transportation is available as part of your care program if needed. Our intake specialist will determine if you need someone who has their own vehicle or if you prefer to use your vehicle. Whether you require assistance with your medical care appointments or shopping, or if you want to go to the park, we can help.
