Most pages about home care are written to somebody’s daughter. This one is written to you, because a disability at forty is a different situation from a decline at eighty, and being talked about in the third person gets old quickly.
What people usually want at this point is narrow and specific. Stay in your own apartment. Keep the job. Get through the morning routine without it eating three hours. Have the hard parts handled by someone competent, and keep deciding everything else yourself.
That is what this service from Good Hands Home Care is for. Home care for disabled adults is arranged around you rather than around a facility schedule — and it exists so that a disability does not decide where you live.
When you need care day and night, we're there!
From aging at home to recovery and long-term conditions, every family's situation is different. We listen first, then build care that fits.
Missed meals, forgotten medications, daily tasks becoming harder. A caregiver brings the right support — without taking away independence.
Healing at home shouldn't feel overwhelming. Hands-on help with mobility, routines, and daily care makes the return smoother for everyone.
Chronic illness or memory changes don't have to mean leaving home. Consistent in-home support keeps comfort, dignity, and connection close.
The support ranges from a couple of hours in the morning to continuous coverage, and it moves in either direction as circumstances change. Nothing about the arrangement assumes a particular age.
Personal Care — bathing, dressing, grooming and hygiene, carried out the way you have established it.
Transfers & Mobility — safe transfers between bed, chair and vehicle, repositioning, pressure relief, work with lifts, slide boards and other equipment.
Meals & Medication — meal preparation adapted to your needs, help with eating, medication reminders.
Household Support — housekeeping, laundry, errands, and tasks made difficult by reach or access.
Life Outside the House — support around work, study, therapy and going out, with schedules built around your week.
Anything clinical stays outside this scope — wound care, injections and catheter changes fall under skilled nursing ordered by a physician, which often runs alongside daily support rather than replacing it.
The care plan is written with you, and it records what you want done, when, and in what order. It also records what you would rather handle yourself, which is the part that usually gets skipped. You decide the time you get up. You decide whether the caregiver comes into the bathroom or waits outside the door. Where a family member is involved, we agree from the start how much they are in the loop — and that is your decision rather than theirs.
Good Hands Home Care has served Pennsylvania families for more than eight years and holds accreditation from the Accreditation Commission for Health Care, alongside membership in the Pennsylvania Homecare Association.

Home care for disabled adults is non-medical support provided in a person’s own home, covering personal care, mobility, meals, housekeeping and daily routine. It is arranged around the individual rather than around a facility schedule, and it ranges from a couple of hours a day to continuous coverage.
No. Home care is commonly associated with older adults, but the service is the same at any age. We work with adults of every age who need support with daily living, including people living with a disability since childhood and people adjusting after an injury or diagnosis.
Medicare does not pay for ongoing non-medical care at home. Its home health benefit covers intermittent skilled nursing and therapy visits ordered by a physician, which is a different service. Daily personal care and household support are funded another way.
Pennsylvania runs several programs that can fund in-home support, including Community HealthChoices for Medicaid-eligible adults aged 21 and over who meet a nursing facility level of care, and the OBRA Waiver for adults with physical disabilities. Act 150 exists for people whose income is too high to qualify for Medicaid. Eligibility is determined by the Commonwealth and the relevant plan.
Caregivers are matched to the person rather than assigned by whoever is free, taking temperament into account alongside skills. If the match turns out wrong, we replace the caregiver instead of asking you to adapt. Some Pennsylvania programs also include participant-directed options that give the person receiving care direct control over who provides it.
Yes. Schedules are built around the household rather than around office hours, which commonly means an early block before you leave and a second visit in the evening. The same applies to study, therapy appointments and anything else that requires being somewhere on time.
Home care covers daily living: personal care, mobility, meals, housekeeping and companionship. Home health care covers clinical tasks such as wound care, injections and catheter management, ordered by a physician and delivered by licensed clinicians. Households often use both at once, and they are arranged separately.
Yes. Caregivers are trained in safe transfer technique and work with the equipment already in the home, including mechanical lifts, slide boards, transfer belts and shower chairs. Positioning and pressure relief are written into the care plan where they apply, and specific mobility needs are reviewed during the in-home assessment before care begins.
Home care for disabled adults is non-medical support provided in a person’s own home, covering personal care, mobility, meals, housekeeping and daily routine. It is arranged around the individual rather than around a facility schedule, and it exists so that a disability does not decide where someone lives.
The support ranges from a couple of hours in the morning to continuous coverage, and it moves in either direction as circumstances change. Nothing about the arrangement assumes a particular age. We work with adults of every age who need this kind of help, alongside families supporting an adult relative.
The condition matters less than what it makes difficult on a given day, and two people with the same diagnosis often need entirely different things. These are the situations we are called about most often.
The first months after an injury are largely about rebuilding a routine that used to be automatic. Later it becomes about running that routine efficiently enough that it does not take over the day.
Progressive conditions need a plan that moves. What worked in spring may not fit by autumn, and needs can also vary between one week and the next.
Recovery after a stroke or a brain injury runs on repetition and consistency, and the same caregiver seeing the same routine every day is part of what makes that work.
People who have managed a condition since childhood usually know exactly how they want things done. The job is to follow that, not to improve on it.
Support here is mostly about structure and company rather than hands-on care, and about keeping a routine steady enough that independence holds.
Some households need this support because of a condition that has no simple label: arthritis that has taken the hands, respiratory disease that turns stairs into an event, complications after amputation, or several things at once.
Transfers are where most of the practical risk sits, both for the person and for whoever is helping. Our caregivers are trained in safe transfer technique and work with the equipment already in the home, whether that is a mechanical lift, a slide board, a transfer belt, a bed rail or a shower chair.
Positioning and pressure relief are written into the care plan where they apply, on the schedule agreed with the household. Where a wheelchair, walker or other equipment is part of daily life, the caregiver works around it rather than treating it as an obstacle.
Anything clinical stays outside this scope. Wound care, injections, catheter changes and similar tasks fall under skilled nursing ordered by a physician, which is a separate service and often runs alongside daily support rather than replacing it.
A morning routine that runs long is the reason a lot of people give up on a job they could otherwise do. Care scheduled around a shift rather than around office hours changes that arithmetic.
We build schedules that fit a working week: an early block before you leave, a second visit in the evening, cover on the days a commute makes the routine tighter. The same applies to study, volunteering, regular therapy, or anything else that requires being somewhere on time.
Some conditions are stable for years. Others change month to month, and a few change after a single bad week. The plan is reviewed as circumstances move, and hours scale up or down without starting the whole process again.
Families often begin with a short morning visit and add hours later. Others start with intensive support after a hospital discharge and reduce it as strength returns. Both directions are normal.
Cost is the first practical question for most households, and Pennsylvania has several routes worth understanding before assuming this is entirely out of pocket. Eligibility for all of them is determined by the Commonwealth and the relevant plan rather than by any care agency.
Programs, eligibility rules and available hours change over time. Confirm current details with the Commonwealth or with the relevant plan before making decisions based on any website, including this one.
Where care is arranged privately, it is billed by the hour. What moves the rate is the level of support required, how many hours a week are booked, and whether coverage falls on weekdays, weekends, evenings or overnight.
The hourly rate covers the caregiver’s time, the supervision behind them, the written care plan and backup coverage. There is no separate charge for the assessment visit or for building the plan.
Medicare does not pay for ongoing non-medical care at home. Its home health benefit covers intermittent skilled nursing and therapy visits ordered by a physician, which is a different service from the daily support described on this page.
To get an exact figure, schedule the free in-home assessment. You will leave that visit with a written scope and a rate, with no obligation attached.
Most care plans combine several of these rather than fitting neatly into one.
