In-Home Care FAQs in Lafayette

When choosing an in-home care provider, it’s important to ask certain questions to make sure the company you may be working with is qualified. In most instances, caregivers spend a lot of time with their clients, so having someone your family can trust is important. 

Below is a list of questions you should typically consider when choosing a provider:

We are licensed by the Louisiana Department of Health for the in-home care we provide.

Lafayette and surrounding Acadiana communities, including Broussard, Youngsville, Scott, Carencro, Breaux Bridge, and nearby parishes. Call to confirm your home address.

Yes. Many local veterans and surviving spouses use VA Homemaker and Respite Care. We will talk through that on the assessment.

After the free in-home assessment and a caregiver match. Timing depends on hours needed and who is available in your part of Lafayette Parish.

Private pay, long-term care insurance, VA Homemaker and Respite, workers’ compensation, reverse mortgage, and Medicaid Community Choices Waiver when eligible.

Companion care is company, meals, rides, and housekeeping. Personal care includes bathing, dressing, toileting, and mobility help.

Yes. We are fully insured.

A friend can call in sick and leave you stuck. We send a screened backup. We are also insured and bonded, which matters for long-term care insurance claims. You still get a local, family-run agency, not a national franchise script.

Drug screen, TB screen, background check, driving record, and at least two professional references. We also match personality, not just a resume, so the person in the house fits your loved one.

You sign an agreement so both sides know the plan and the rate. There is no long minimum we lock you into. Hours can go up or down after the free in-home assessment.

We come to the house in Lafayette or a nearby town, walk through the day, and build a plan. That visit is free.

Yes. A few hours after a hospital stay, overnight respite, or ongoing weekly care. We set the schedule around the family.

Yes. Tell the office. Fit matters. We will change the caregiver if the match is not right.
