As seniors age, their needs often change—but one thing that many older adults consistently want is the ability to stay in the comfort of their own homes. Home represents familiarity, independence, security, and dignity. However, daily activities can become more difficult over time, and this is where private duty care steps in. At A Better Solution Home Care, private duty services are designed to support seniors in living comfortably, safely, and confidently at home, while giving families peace of mind that their loved ones are in capable, compassionate hands.
What Is Private Duty Care?
Private duty care is non-medical in-home assistance tailored to meet the personal and daily needs of seniors or individuals who require support. Unlike medical home health services, private duty caregiving focuses on helping clients with everyday tasks, companionship, and maintaining independence.
These services are flexible and can include:
Personal care and grooming
Meal preparation
Household assistance
Transportation
Emotional support
Medication reminders
Safety monitoring
Mobility assistance
Private duty care is ideal for seniors, people with disabilities, individuals recovering from surgery, and those whose families need reliable caregiving support.
Why More Families Are Choosing Private Duty Services
For many seniors, remaining at home is a priority, and private duty services make this possible without sacrificing safety or comfort. Many families today have busy schedules, jobs, or live far away from their aging loved ones. Private duty care ensures that, even when family cannot be present, seniors have trustworthy caregivers supporting their daily living.
Families appreciate private duty services from A Better Solution Home Care because:
Care is individualized
Seniors maintain control over their daily routines
Caregivers are professional and compassionate
Scheduling is flexible and customizable
The home environment remains familiar and comforting
This approach benefits both seniors and their families—enhancing wellness while relieving stress and worry.
Personalized Care Planning for Every Client
A Better Solution Home Care begins every private duty experience with a personalized assessment. During this meeting, care coordinators get to know:
The client’s health concerns
Physical abilities and limitations
Personal habits and preferences
Emotional or cognitive needs
Household challenges
Family expectations
This information is used to create a customized care plan that supports the client’s daily life in a meaningful way. Care plans are updated regularly so they adapt to changes in health, mobility, or goals—ensuring long-term support that remains effective and respectful.
Expert Caregivers Who Treat Clients Like Family
A Better Solution Home Care understands that private duty services are only as strong as the caregivers who provide them. That’s why each caregiver is carefully screened, trained, and selected for their skill, professionalism, and dedication.
Caregivers are compassionate individuals who:
Encourage independence
Provide support without judgment
Build trust and meaningful relationships
Create a positive home environment
Respect client dignity and privacy
For many seniors, a private duty caregiver becomes more than just assistance—they become a companion, an emotional support, and someone who genuinely cares about their well-being.
Assistance With Daily Personal Tasks
Many seniors want to remain independent but struggle with routine grooming or personal care tasks. A Better Solution Home Care’s private duty services include respectful assistance with:
Bathing and showering
Oral hygiene
Dressing
Grooming and skincare
Toileting assistance
Incontinence support
Mobility and transfer help
These services allow seniors to look and feel their best while reducing risks such as injuries, falls, or hygiene-related health concerns.
Light Home Management and Domestic Support
A tidy and organized home plays a big role in mental clarity, safety, and daily comfort—especially for seniors. Private duty caregivers can assist with:
Laundry
Vacuuming and dusting
House cleaning
Meal planning and preparation
Dishwashing
Changing linens
Tidying and organization
Trash removal
This support keeps the home safe and welcoming while ensuring that seniors don’t have to struggle with physically demanding tasks.
Companionship That Makes a Difference
Emotional well-being is just as important as physical care. Many older adults experience loneliness, especially when living alone or after losing a spouse. Private duty caregivers help fill this gap through companionship services that may include:
Meaningful conversation
Playing games
Doing puzzles
Watching movies
Looking through photo albums
Sharing meals
Going on gentle walks
These positive interactions can boost mental health, reduce depression and anxiety, and give seniors something to look forward to every day.
Reliable Transportation and Outings
Getting out of the house is important for staying active and socially engaged. Private duty caregivers can provide transportation for:
Medical appointments
Grocery and shopping trips
Pharmacy visits
Social events
Family gatherings
Religious services
Community outings
Caregivers not only drive but assist during the outing, ensuring the client stays safe and comfortable throughout the trip.
Respite Support for Family Caregivers
Family members often act as caregivers, and while this is rewarding, it can also be exhausting. A Better Solution Home Care offers respite care, giving families the chance to:
Rest and recover
Handle personal responsibilities
Take vacations or business trips
Reduce stress and avoid burnout
Meanwhile, their loved one continues receiving consistent, high-quality care.

A loved one wants to age at home
Daily grooming or household tasks have become difficult
A senior seems lonely or isolated
Mobility limitations increase fall risks
Family caregivers need extra support
A client requires ongoing, personalized attention
If these signs are present, private duty care can help restore balance, safety, and confidence.
