How home care works.

Non-medical home care is professional support with daily living — bathing, dressing, meal preparation, companionship, medication reminders, and transportation. It does not include medical procedures. It is designed to help seniors stay safely and comfortably in their own home, on their own schedule, without moving to a facility.

Common signs include struggling with bathing or dressing independently, missing medications, increased isolation or loneliness, recent falls, weight loss from not cooking, and family caregivers feeling burned out. If any of these sound familiar, a free consultation is a good place to start. There is no commitment required.

Home health is medical care delivered at home — nurses, physical therapists, wound care. It is typically ordered by a doctor and covered by Medicare. Home care is non-medical support with daily living. Care Cura provides home care, not home health. If your parent needs medical care at home, we can help point you to the right resources.

Medicare does not cover non-medical home care. Some long-term care insurance policies do — check your policy's activities of daily living (ADL) benefit. Medi-Cal may cover some personal care services depending on eligibility. Most families pay privately. We are happy to talk through your situation on the consultation call.

There are no long-term contracts. You can increase, decrease, or stop care at any time. We ask for reasonable notice so we can adjust schedules fairly for caregivers, but we will never lock you into something that is not working.
