After interviewing several agencies, we selected Private Home Care because they seemed most in touch with what we wanted for my father and because they listened to and shared our goals. After several falls and a long hospitalization, my father couldn’t be left alone at all. He required 24 hour care. We were reluctant to move him to an assisted living community because he was resistant and because we felt that his decline- already quick and shocking- could be exacerbated by a move. Private Home Care’s caregivers and staff have been through it all with our family and my dad as he quickly adjusted to his new normal. They kept him safe in his home-his and our main goal-and that was no small feat! Our family will be forever grateful to the people that have entered my father’s home and have become an integral part of his life. In these times of isolation, the caregivers not only keep my father safe, but also provide friendship and attention. They allow him to remain as independent as possible and to continue to thrive. Private Home Care also helped put us all at peace and have made this journey as smooth as possible for everyone.
Our family has been with Private Home Care for almost 5 years.

Saint Louis Home Care Resources
Home care services are only one of the pieces needed for seniors to gracefully age in place. There are many services and programs that are low-cost or free, that enable seniors to enjoy an independent lifestyle in the comfort of their own home, such as help with home modifications, meal delivery services, and more. Below, we’ve compiled a few of the most helpful resources in Saint Louis:
Address: 3701 Grandel Square, St. Louis, MO 63108
Phone Number: (314) 651-3646
The Urban League Weatherization Assistance Program is federally funded but also takes donations from local businesses.

Aging Ahead is a nonprofit organization that operates 21 senior community centers throughout the city of St. Louis. Each center provides nutritious meals to seniors participating in activities at the centers and delivers meals to the homes of eligible seniors in the surrounding areas.

Activities offered at the centers include exercise classes, health screenings, arts and crafts, social events and guest lectures.
Address: 1200 Market Street, St. Louis, MO 63103

This state-funded program provides home-delivered meals to senior citizens five times a week. The meals are delivered hot at lunchtime from Monday to Friday ensuring that seniors in the area are getting nutritious food on a regular basis. The program aims to keep seniors safely in their homes for as long as they are able to be independent. Nutritional supplements are provided with the meals if a dietician thinks that a senior is lacking in certain vitamins or minerals. A three-meal emergency food pack is provided to all seniors in case of an emergency or inclement weather preventing the standard meal delivery from occurring.
Address: 1200 Market Street, St. Louis, MO 63103
Phone Number: (314) 612-5918
The program includes both volunteer and state-funded contractors who perform minor home repairs and chores for seniors in the St. Louis area. The home repairs are funded by the state in general but the senior may have to contribute depending on the scale of the work required. Services offered include basic plumbing and electric work, minor home repairs to the interior and exterior of the building and the installation of ramps. The chore program is entirely carried out by volunteers and no cost is involved. Chores and work offered by the program include yard work, painting, cleaning and gutter clearing.
Determining Your Loved One’s Need for In-Home Care
Aging can be a difficult process, and loved ones may not always ask for help – often times it’s up to their family to evaluate their need for help around the house. While no two situations are exactly alike, this checklist can help you and your loved ones determine when it’s time to start the search for a home care provider.
Guidelines for Talking About In-Home Care
If you’ve determined that your loved one needs the assistance of a care provider in their home, it may be time for a difficult conversation. Handled correctly, however, this process can bring a family together and ensure that everyone’s concerns are addressed. Use this PDF as a starting point to help the conversation stay as positive and productive as possible.
