Worried About an Aging Loved One Living Alone?
The need for home care or home health care in Philadelphia becomes clear at a pivotal moment: A fall. A forgotten medication. A phone call where Mom just didn’t sound like herself. You know your loved one wants to stay home, and you want to make sure they actually can.
Premier Home Care has been supporting Philadelphia-area families for more than 20 years, from home care services like personal care and companionship, to dementia support and skilled home health care.
Backed by a 5-star CMS rating, we are a proud family-owned agency helping seniors age at home with dignity and support.

- Ordered by a doctor, who must certify the need for skilled care

The Premier Difference in Senior Care
There’s no shortage of home care agencies in Philadelphia. Here’s what sets Premier apart.
We sit down with you and your loved one to understand their needs, routine, and goals, then build a plan around their life. As things change, so does the plan.
Premier holds a 5-star rating and deficiency-free status from the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services, a federally recognized measure of quality across clinical care, staffing, and outcomes.
Every caregiver and clinician goes through a thorough screening process before joining our team. We then match each client with the right person for their specific needs, because consistency is what makes care actually work.

How Do You Know When It's Time for Home Care?
Many families wait longer than they should, often because they’re not sure when the right time is.
If you’re noticing any of the following, it may be worth having a conversation with our team.
- Your loved one has had a recent fall or close call at home
- Medications are being missed or taken incorrectly
- Meals are being skipped or nutrition is suffering
- The home is becoming difficult to keep clean and organized
- They seem isolated, lonely, or withdrawn
- You’ve noticed changes in memory or daily functioning
- Personal hygiene has declined
- They’ve been recently discharged from a hospital or rehab facility
- You’re feeling overwhelmed trying to manage their care on your own
- They’re resisting the idea of moving to a facility but need more support
If any of these resonate, you’re not overreacting. Getting an in-home care assessment costs nothing and gives you clarity on your options.

Many Families Start with These Same Questions
How quickly can home care or home health care begin?
Care can often begin within hours of your initial evaluation.
If your situation is urgent, let us know and we’ll prioritize getting things in place. Our team is available 24/7, so you can start the process any day, any time.
Is home care covered by insurance or Medicare?
Care may be covered by Medicare, Medicaid, long-term care insurance, or Veterans benefits depending on if your loved one needs non medical home care or medically ordered home health care.
Skilled nursing and home health care services may qualify under Medicare when medically necessary, while personal care is more commonly covered by Medicaid or private insurance. Our team can help you figure out what applies to your situation.
Can care be short-term or long-term?
Care with Premier can be short-term, long-term, or anywhere in between, with no upfront commitment required.
Whether you need temporary help after surgery or ongoing support for a chronic condition, we’ll build a flexible plan that adjusts as your loved one’s needs change.
Will my loved one have the same caregiver each visit?
We make every effort to match your loved one with a consistent primary caregiver who fits their personality and schedule.
When a backup is needed, we ensure all caregivers are fully briefed on your loved one’s care plan so nothing falls through the cracks.
