Common Questions
What are the advantages of an in-home care provider compared to a shared living facility?
a. Comfort of Your Own Home
Thrive Home Care gives you the break you need while ensuring your loved one receives attentive, personal care in the comfort of home.
Unlike assisted living facilities, which can sometimes feel impersonal or overwhelming due to shared spaces and limited caregiver attention, our one-on-one care allows your loved one to remain in a familiar and private setting. We send qualified caregivers directly to your home to provide dependable, non-medical support, offering both peace of mind and the highest level of comfort.
b. High-Quality Care
Thrive Home Care was founded to provide exceptional, personalized care where it matters most at home. We understand that caring for a loved one is both rewarding and challenging. Our caregivers deliver one-on-one attention tailored to your unique needs, offering a level of care and compassion not typically found in group homes or facilities.
c. Flexible Scheduling
With in-home care, you can maintain your preferred routine while enjoying the comfort of a familiar environment. Our in-home care providers offer consistent, one-on-one support, giving you the freedom to manage your day according to your needs. This individualized approach stands in contrast to assisted living facilities, where schedules are shared and caregiver attention must be divided among many residents.
d. Companionship
Our caregivers provide meaningful companionship that helps prevent loneliness and isolation, something that can be difficult to achieve in facilities with rotating staff. In-home care also allows friends and family to visit freely, offering comfort and connection whenever it matters most.
What are the billing and payment options?
At Thrive Home Care, we keep billing simple and transparent. Invoices are sent weekly, and payment is due upon receipt. This gives you time to plan and stay on schedule.
We accept long-term care insurance and offer several convenient ways to pay:
- Check or Cash
- ACH Transfer
- Zelle
- Debit or Credit Card (a 3.5% processing fee applies)
Our goal is to make the process as smooth as possible so you can focus on what matters most, your loved one’s care. Call our office during business hours to make a payment.
800-410-8818What happens in a medical emergency?
What happens when the client goes to the hospital or travels out of town?
What happens when the regular in-home care provider gets sick or needs time-off?
If a caregiver becomes ill during a live-in shift, they will notify our office immediately, and we will send a replacement as soon as possible.
For planned time off, caregivers must submit requests at least two (2) weeks in advance to allow for proper coverage. When selecting a substitute, we prioritize caregivers that the client has previously worked with and preferred. Our goal is always to match you with a caregiver who meets your needs and schedule.
What is the typical length of time before a client gets comfortable with the new care arrangement?
We encourage open communication and invite you to share any questions or concerns about the care being provided. Our goal is to ensure you feel safe, comfortable, and well supported in your home.
What if the client does not like the in-home care provider?
One of the advantages of choosing Thrive Home Care is that we manage these situations for you. Our Care and Staffing Coordinators will arrange any necessary changes and ensure the transition is as smooth and comfortable as possible.
How do we select our in-home care providers?
Every caregiver must have a minimum of three (3) years of professional caregiving experience. We also meet with each client and their family to understand their unique needs, allowing us to match them with the caregiver who is the best fit.
