Personal care covers activities of daily living: bathing and dressing, grooming and personal hygiene, toileting and incontinence care, mealtime assistance, medication monitoring, and mobility assistance.

Yes. Rehabilitation services help you recover after surgery or an accident. Rehab at home services include Physical Therapy, Occupational Therapy, Speech Therapy, wound care, pain management, medication administration & monitoring, and post-operative regimen support.

Respite care provides family caregivers with a break from the demands of caregiving. Services include medication management, mealtime assistance, travel to appointments, toileting and incontinence care, companionship and activities, and assistance with personal hygiene and dressing.

Yes. A Plan of Care is developed in collaboration with every client, their family, their physician, and other healthcare professionals. It’s customized and designed to adapt as needs change. The care team maintains continuous communication with physicians and specialists so the plan can grow, evolve, and become more specialized, providing the most appropriate care at every stage.

Elegance at Home offers two primary levels of in-home care: Companion Care and Home Health Aide (HHA) care. Understanding the difference helps families choose the right level of support from the start.

Companion Care is designed for clients who need a helping hand with daily life but do not require hands-on personal care. Companion caregivers provide companionship, safety supervision, light housekeeping and laundry, meal preparation, and escort to appointments or errands. Importantly, Companion Care does not include any hands-on physical assistance, and these cases are not supervised by a nurse. For families who need this type of support, Companion Care is offered at a lower rate than HHA services.

Home Health Aides (HHAs) complete a New York State-approved training program of at least 75 hours, including supervised clinical training. HHAs provide all the support a Companion caregiver does, plus hands-on personal care assistance, including bathing, dressing, grooming, incontinence care, and mobility and transfer assistance. With additional training, HHAs can also assist with certain health-monitoring tasks, such as vital-sign checks, medication reminders, and simple dressing changes, under the supervision of a registered nurse. The majority of Elegance at Home’s caregivers hold HHA certification.

Personal Care Aides (PCAs) complete a 40-hour training program and can also assist with personal care activities of daily living, such as bathing, dressing, grooming, incontinence care, and mobility assistance—though their scope does not extend to the health-monitoring tasks an HHA can perform. At Elegance at Home, we actively support PCAs in completing an HHA upgrade course so all caregivers can serve the full range of clients we support.

Not sure which level of care is right for your loved one? We assess each client individually and will recommend the appropriate level of care during your free consultation.

Home care focuses on personal assistance—help with bathing, dressing, meals, companionship, and daily activities—and does not require medical oversight. Skilled nursing at home involves care provided by a licensed RN or LPN for clients with complex clinical needs, including wound care, medication management, monitoring of chronic conditions, post-surgical recovery, and coordination with your physician. At Elegance at Home, our skilled nursing services are integrated into your overall Plan of Care. Many clients receive both simultaneously a skilled nurse for medical needs and a home health aide for daily support. 

Absolutely. Many of our clients come to us following a hospital stay, surgery, or a fall. Elegance at Home offers in-home rehabilitation services, generally providing one-on-one HHA services in the short-term during recovery or in the longer term as needed. Our rehabilitation specialists coordinate directly with your hospital discharge team and physicians to build a recovery plan timed to your needs. We can often begin services shortly after discharge.
