What Is Private-Pay Personal Care?

Private-pay personal care allows individuals and families to pay directly for professional in-home caregiver services.

Unlike Medicaid waiver programs, which have specific eligibility and authorization requirements, private-pay care gives families greater flexibility in arranging the type, frequency, and duration of services they need.

At Serenity Care & Compassion, our private-pay services are designed for individuals who want to remain in their own homes while receiving personalized assistance with daily living.

Our caregivers help make everyday life safer, more comfortable, and more manageable.

Private-pay personal care may be ideal for:

  • Seniors who want to age comfortably at home.
  • Older adults who need assistance with bathing, dressing, or mobility.
  • Individuals recovering from surgery or hospitalization.
  • Adults living with physical disabilities or mobility limitations.
  • Families who need additional caregiver support.
  • Individuals who need companionship and assistance with daily routines.
  • Families seeking overnight or extended-hour care.
  • Individuals who do not qualify for Medicaid-funded services.
  • Families who need additional support beyond their existing insurance-covered care.

Whether your loved one needs occasional assistance or ongoing support, we can help you explore a personalized care arrangement.

Respite arrangements can be tailored to the client’s needs and caregiver availability.

Post-Hospital & Post-Surgical Home Care

Flexible Private-Pay Home Care Options

Every family’s schedule is different.

Serenity Care & Compassion offers personalized care arrangements based on assessed needs, service location, and caregiver availability.

Hourly Home Care

Ideal for individuals who need assistance during specific parts of the day.

Daily and Extended-Hour Care

Some individuals benefit from longer caregiver shifts.

We can discuss extended-hour schedules for clients who require additional daytime or evening support.

Available arrangements depend on the client’s needs and staffing.

24-Hour Home Care

For families seeking continuous caregiver coverage, Serenity can discuss 24-hour home care arrangements.

Continuous coverage generally requires coordinated caregiver shifts rather than assuming one caregiver remains awake and working around the clock.

Short-Term and Long-Term Care

Whether you need temporary assistance following hospitalization or ongoing personal care for an aging family member, we can discuss an individualized schedule.

Not sure how many hours your loved one needs?

Our team can help you explore a schedule based on their daily routines and support requirements.
