Home Care in East Stroudsburg, Pennsylvania

Care for people who moved here to retire

A lot of East Stroudsburg came from somewhere else — New York, North Jersey, Philadelphia — and retired into the Poconos. That has a consequence nobody plans for: the adult children are still back in the city, two hours away, trying to manage a parent's care over the phone.

Those are the calls we get most often out here. A daughter in Brooklyn who cannot keep driving up every weekend, and a father who is not going to move.

What we do

Bathing, grooming and dressing. Mobility help and fall prevention. Medication reminders. Meals, laundry and light housekeeping. Groceries and errands. Rides to Lehigh Valley Hospital–Pocono and to appointments around East Stroudsburg.

And we tell you what we saw. If your mother's balance is worse this month, or she has stopped eating lunch, you hear it from us — not six weeks later from a doctor.

When family lives far away

Distance is the hardest part of this for most families. You cannot see whether the pills were taken or whether anyone ate. A consistent caregiver in the house is not just help for your parent — it is the only reliable set of eyes you have.

Paying for care

Community HealthChoices, Act 150, the OBRA waiver, VA Community Care, long-term care insurance and private pay. The full guide → · What it costs →

If the person needing care is between 18 and 59 with a physical disability, ask about Act 150 and the OBRA waiver before assuming you are private pay. Those two are for that age group specifically, and most families are never told they exist.
