Non-Medical Home Care
Agency in South Park, PA

What is Non-Medical Home Care?

Non-medical home care provides assistance with daily living activities that don't require a licensed medical professional. This includes personal care, companionship, meal preparation, light housekeeping, and transportation.

Families in South Park Township often discover the distinction between non-medical home care and skilled home health only after they need both. Care Solutions is a Pennsylvania-licensed home care agency operating under Chapter 611. Our scope of service includes personal care, homemaker services, companionship, medication reminders, meal preparation, and transportation. We do not provide skilled nursing services, which include wound care, injections, IV infusions, catheter management, and any clinical assessment that requires a licensed nurse. Those tasks are delivered by Medicare-certified home health agencies under a physician's plan of care. Most clients we serve started with a hospital discharge. The discharge planner ordered skilled home health for a defined period, often two to six weeks. During that window, a nurse and a therapist visit a few times a week. The rest of the week, family members or caregivers fill in. When the skilled episode ends, the daily needs do not. Bathing, dressing, meals, and supervision continue for months or years. Non-medical home care is the appropriate answer for that ongoing support. Funding usually comes from private pay, long-term care insurance, VA benefits, or the Community HealthChoices Medicaid waiver. We coordinate with skilled providers when both services overlap so families do not manage two schedules alone. Call (412) 341-7780. We serve South Park, Bethel Park, Pleasant Hills, and the South Hills communities of Allegheny County.
