In-Home Care Bowie, MD

Family Choice Healthcare is proud to provide professional home care services to aging seniors in Bowie, Maryland, Upper Marlboro and throughout the surrounding areas in Prince George’s County.  Since 1996, we have been a leader in quality home care to senior and disabled clients with a variety of circumstances and needs.

What is In-Home Care?

In-home care is compassionate, non-medical care that allows your loved ones to live safely and comfortably at home as they age in place.  Our Personal Care Attendants provide assistance with daily activities, respite care for caregivers, recovery at home after a fall or illness and even long-distance caregiving.  They are also able to assist with some specific medical protocols, such as taking medication, medication reminders and physical therapy.  Other common names for these services are senior care services and personal care services.

The Family Choice Healthcare Difference

We recognize that there are many options for caring for aging parents and home health care in Bowie, MD and it can be difficult to choose which home care agency will be the right fit.  

With over 20 years of experience as a leading senior home care provider, the Family Choice Healthcare mission is to provide top quality compassionate and customized care in order to bring balance and peace to both the senior and their family.  Our ultimate goal is simple: to provide your loved ones with high quality companion care for as long as possible.

What Sets Us Apart:

• Customized Care – we listen to your specific needs and identify an Attendant that would be uniquely qualified to assist your loved one, while always remaining flexible to changes that we know can happen at any time.  Our tried and true approach is to establish genuine relationships between elderly clients and their Personal Care Attendants.
• Continuous Monitoring – we have created a system of regularly monitoring your loved one and our Attendants through both home visits and telephone check-ins by a staff registered nurse.
• Cultural Appreciation – our personnel are culturally competent and particularly aware of how cultural differences impact and influence daily life.

Home Care vs In-Home Care vs Home Health Care

While these terms all describe health services provided to seniors in their homes, there are a few main differences.  The biggest difference is in the types of home healthcare services that each provides:

• Home health care provides medical senior care, including diagnosis or treatment as well as medical advice.
• In-home care, or home care, provides comprehensive non-medical senior care to help elderly people with essential day-to-day activities in the comfort of their home.

To learn more about the differences, including specific services, costs and paying for each type and the length/frequency of care, check out our blogs on In-Home Care vs Home Health Care, or give us a call to schedule your free phone consultation.
