⭐ #1 Home Care Agency in Philadelphia Area and Suburbs — Seniors · Pediatric · Veterans
When a loved one needs hands-on help with bathing, dressing, mobility, or other activities of daily living, but does not need a nursing facility, A-Team Home Care lets them stay safely at home. ACHC-accredited. RN-supervised. Medicaid CHC, Medicare, VetAssist, and private pay.
If you’re an adult family member already providing the bath, the dressing, the bathroom trips for a parent, sibling, or adult child on Pennsylvania Medicaid, you may qualify to be paid for that care as a Direct Care Worker through A-Team’s Family Caregiver Program. Spouses and POA holders are excluded by state rule.

WHO PERSONAL CARE IS FOR
Most A-Team personal care clients fall into one of these four situations.
The bathroom is the highest-fall-risk room in the home. When mom or dad can no longer safely get in and out of the shower, that is the moment most families call. A-Team’s home health aide handles bathing safely, and the client gets to stay in their own home.
If you have been doing the bathing, the dressing, the bathroom trips yourself for months, A-Team can take that piece off your plate (or pay you to do it through the Family Caregiver Program). Your relationship with your loved one should not be defined by exhaustion.
After a hospital discharge, the spouse becomes the default caregiver overnight. That is not sustainable. A-Team can come in for the morning routine, or 24-hour live-in care if needed, so the spouse does not break down too.
For adults with developmental disabilities living at home, personal care provides the consistent, trained support they deserve, and gives parents a reliable backbone. A-Team aides are trained for this population and supervised by an RN.
HOW IT WORKS
