What is Private Duty Home Care?

What is
Private Duty
Home Care?
As more Americans
choose to remain in
their homes while they
age, finding the right type
of at-home care for loved ones
can be a challenge. Private duty
home care provides a secure, quality,
and affordable option for families.
A private duty home care company offers home care
aides, companion care, homemaker services and in some cases
nursing services within a client’s home or place of residence. The
caregivers provide a wide variety and range of services that are needed by
a senior or families in order to allow an aging person to remain at home.
Love the Peace
of Mind
Private duty home care offers many unique benefits and provides peace of mind
and security to you and your loved ones. NPDA member agencies directly employ,
screen, train and bond their caregivers. In addition, they handle all scheduling and
payroll management. They offer the benefits of 24/7 on-call availability, caregiver
monitoring and individualized care plans. Payments for care are paid privately, as
opposed to through Medicare.
To find an agency in your area turn to the National Private Duty Association
(NPDA), the nation’s leading association for providers of private duty home care.
They have a searchable database to provide consumers with a comprehensive list
of NPDA members nationwide.
You deserve the peace of mind, trust and security that working with a member
of the NPDA can provide. All NPDA members must adhere to the organization’s
policies, procedures and ethical standards for home care.
