Home Instead offers its worldwide clientele a comprehensive list of nonmedical services. The five Philadelphia-area branches operate independently of each other—as such, rates and hiring qualifications vary by location. Caregivers provide varied and useful services, including extensive housekeeping, personal grooming, companionship, meal planning and preparation, transportation to appointments, medication reminders, ambulatory assistance and help with various errands. An integral part of Home Instead's care model involves personal companionship; caregivers organize indoor and outdoor activities, including reminiscence exercises, current events discussions, movie hours, scrapbooking and outings to visit neighbors, friends and local entertainment venues. An additional priority is finding compatible matches for both aides and clients.
