Home Care Services in Philadelphia

A-Team Home Care provides seven home care service lines across Philadelphia County. Each service follows a written care plan reviewed by our nursing supervisor and adjusted as the client’s condition changes.

Personal Care

Personal care covers bathing, dressing, grooming, toileting, transfers, and mobility assistance. Caregivers help clients move safely from bed to wheelchair, manage incontinence, and maintain skin integrity. This service supports Philadelphia seniors recovering from hip replacement, stroke, or extended hospital stays at Jefferson or Temple.

Companion Care

Companion care includes meal preparation, light housekeeping, laundry, medication reminders, grocery shopping, and transportation to medical appointments. A companion caregiver might drive a client from Fishtown to a cardiology follow-up at Jefferson, then prepare lunch and stay for an afternoon visit.

24-Hour Home Care

24-hour home care assigns rotating caregivers so a Philadelphia client is never alone. This level of care suits adults with advanced dementia, fall risk, or recent hospital discharge who cannot safely stay home overnight without supervision. Two or three caregivers rotate through 8 or 12 hour shifts depending on the family’s preference.

Alzheimer’s and Dementia Care

Alzheimer’s and dementia care follows specialized protocols including redirection, validation therapy, and structured daily routines. Our caregivers complete dementia-specific training before working with cognitively impaired Philadelphia clients. Care plans address sundowning, wandering risk, and caregiver respite for the spouse or adult child managing the household.

Pediatric Home Care

Pediatric home care supports Philadelphia children with chronic medical needs, developmental delays, and post-surgical recovery. Services include feeding assistance, mobility support, and family respite. Many of our pediatric referrals come from Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia (CHOP) discharge planners.

Autism Home Care

Autism home care provides one-on-one support for children and adults on the autism spectrum. Caregivers work with the family on communication routines, sensory regulation, daily living skills, and community outings. Service hours flex around school schedules and therapy appointments.

Veteran Assistance

Veteran assistance helps Philadelphia veterans and their surviving spouses access home care benefits through the VA Aid and Attendance program and Community Care Network. Our intake team coordinates directly with the Corporal Michael J. Crescenz VA Medical Center in University City to start authorized service.

Why Philadelphia Families Choose A-Team Home Care

A-Team Home Care holds three credentials that most Philadelphia home care agencies do not carry together: a Pennsylvania Home Care License, Medicare certification, and ACHC (Accreditation Commission for Health Care) accreditation. Medicare certification matters because it allows our agency to bill Medicare directly for skilled services rather than asking families to pay out of pocket and seek reimbursement. ACHC accreditation requires an on-site survey of our policies, caregiver files, training records, and infection control practices every three years.

The agency was founded in 2018 by Irina Rabovetsky, who built A-Team Home Care to serve the Russian-speaking, Spanish-speaking, and English-speaking communities concentrated across Northeast Philadelphia, Fairhill, and the Lower Northeast. Our caregiver roster reflects that mix, which means we can usually match a client with a caregiver who speaks the family’s preferred language. Our Google rating sits at 4.8 stars across 70 reviews. Our caregiver-to-client ratio allows coordinators to handle schedule changes, hospitalizations, and care plan updates without long phone trees.

Pennsylvania requires every paid home care worker to clear a state criminal background check, an FBI fingerprint check, and a child abuse history clearance before stepping into a home. A-Team Home Care runs all three plus a federal exclusion check and an annual TB screening for every active caregiver.

Frequently Asked Questions About Home Care in Philadelphia

How much does home care cost in Philadelphia?

Home care costs in Philadelphia vary by service type, hours per week, and payer source. Private pay rates fall into a typical regional range, while Medicaid waiver programs and VA Aid and Attendance benefits cover authorized hours at no cost to the family. A-Team Home Care provides a written rate sheet during the free in-home assessment so families can plan before service starts. Call (215) 490-9994 for current Philadelphia rates.

Does Medicare or Medicaid pay for home care in Philadelphia?

Medicare pays for short-term skilled home health (nursing, physical therapy) ordered after a hospital stay, and our Medicare certification allows us to bill those services directly. Pennsylvania Medicaid (through the Community HealthChoices waiver and OBRA waiver) covers personal care and companion care hours for eligible Philadelphia residents. A-Team Home Care accepts both, plus Veterans Affairs Community Care, long-term care insurance, and private pay.

How quickly can A-Team Home Care start service in Philadelphia?

Most Philadelphia clients begin service within 24 to 72 hours of the initial call. Hospital discharge cases from Temple University Hospital, Jefferson Health, Penn Medicine, or Einstein Medical Center can often start the same day if the discharge is scheduled in advance. The intake process includes a phone screening, an in-home assessment by a care coordinator, a written care plan, and a caregiver match.

A-Team Home Care covers all of Philadelphia County including Fishtown, South Philly, West Philly, Northeast Philadelphia, Center City, and Germantown, plus parts of Bucks County and Montgomery County.

Yes. A-Team Home Care holds a Pennsylvania Home Care License and carries general liability and workers’ compensation insurance.
