Private Duty Caregivers
Not sure if private duty care is the right choice for your loved one? Let’s find out together. Our caregivers provide hourly or live-in support with the everyday tasks that keep people safe, comfortable and independent at home.
A little help with the right things, at the right time, is often all it takes to keep someone safely and happily at home.
Assist on Call, Inc. — Private DutyFree assessment
Start with a conversation, not a contract.
We will come to the home, meet your loved one, look honestly at what is and is not working, and tell you what level of support we think is needed — including if that is less than you expected, or a different service altogether.
What the assessment covers
- Current ability with bathing, dressing, mobility, meals and medication.
- Safety of the home environment and fall risk.
- Existing family and community support, and where the gaps are.
- Whether hourly visits or live-in care is the better fit.
- A clear recommendation, schedule and rate before anything is agreed.

Respite for family caregivers
