Help at Home for Seniors in Delaware: Personal Assistance and Non-Medical Support Explained

Families across Delaware often seek clarity about the difference between personal assistance at home and medical home health services. Understanding this difference helps families choose the right type of help at home for seniors.

Our agency provides non-medical home support services, focused on everyday assistance rather than medical treatment.

Personal assistance at home includes hands-on help with daily routines that support comfort and independence. Our caregivers and support staff assist with personal routines, meal preparation and cooking, light household tasks, transportation, and daily organization. This type of non-medical support allows seniors to continue living at home while receiving practical help with everyday activities.

Our in-home support staff act as assistants and companions within the home. They are not medical professionals and do not provide medical services. Their role is to offer reliable personal assistance, support daily routines, and help maintain a stable and well-organized home environment.

Medical home health services are provided separately by licensed professionals when medical care is required. When those services are needed, they are coordinated independently. Non-medical home support is designed to work alongside medical providers when appropriate, ensuring seniors in Wilmington, New Castle, and surrounding Delaware communities receive the right type of support for their situation.

By clearly separating personal assistance and cooking support from medical care, families can feel confident they are choosing the most appropriate non-medical help at home for seniors in Delaware.
