Understanding your options
What is non-medical home care?
Home care is non-medical support that helps your loved one live safely and comfortably at home. It can include personal care such as bathing and dressing, companionship, meals, light housekeeping, medication reminders, transportation and safety supervision.
Home health care is different: it is a separate, medically licensed service that provides skilled nursing and therapy. SYNERGY HomeCare provides non-medical in-home care.

Your care conversation should feel personal, clear and built around the way your loved one actually lives. Final service details and caregiver availability are confirmed directly with the Glenview team.
| What matters | Our North Shore approach | A less personalized approach |
|---|---|---|
| Care planning | ✓ Built around routines, preferences and safety needs | Preset package or generic checklist |
| Communication | ✓ A direct local conversation with Joe | Centralized or call-center intake |
| Caregiver team | ✓ Background-checked W-2 employee caregivers | Contractor or temporary staffing model |
| Scheduling | ✓ From four hours a week to around-the-clock support | Fewer ways to adjust care |
| Next step | ✓ A call or short form followed by a free in-home assessment | Lengthy intake before a personal conversation |
Care providers, plans and staffing models vary. Confirm services, rates, policies and caregiver availability directly before making a decision.

Yes. We work with private pay and long-term care insurance. We can help you understand your coverage options during the free in-home assessment.
