Current Trends in Non-Medical In-Home Care: Insights for Delaware Clients

The non-medical in-home care market in Delaware is evolving rapidly. The Delaware Care Planning Council notes that non-medical providers are growing in number as more seniors and families choose to stay home. Meanwhile, an aging population, increased longevity, and shifting family dynamics mean demand continues to rise.

Other trends include: greater demand for flexible scheduling (evenings, weekends), wider use of technology (care-coordination apps, remote monitoring), emphasis on caregiver training (especially in safety, dementia, social engagement), and increased focus on whole-person wellness (not just tasks).

At Affordable Home Care Delaware, we are aligning with these trends: investing in technology to track visit outcomes, offering flexible service windows, enhancing caregiver skill sets, and integrating social-wellness support (e.g., transportation to community events, engagement programs).

For families in Delaware this means more options, greater customization, and increased expectation for quality. We encourage you to ask potential providers about their approach to flexibility, technology, caregiver training, wellness integration and how they monitor outcomes. We believe that by staying on top of these trends, we can better support clients’ independence, satisfaction and quality of life.
