Right at Home was very responsive to our needs – meeting with us promptly to identify the services we needed when my father was hospitalized and my elderly mother with memory issues needed assistance in the home. Kendra was assigned and my mother greatly appreciates how quickly she picks things up and how well she drives her places. I am grateful for Right at Home assigning Kendra and her great work with my mother.

I’m using HomeCare.com. It’s fine. They’re very good and very responsive to any concerns I have, and they’ve provided me with a good health care aide, not great necessarily, but good. They also provide light housekeeping, they help me clean myself up, and they take me to my appointment. They get here within a certain time window between 7 and 7:30, and that’s when I need them here. A lot of times my communication is directly with the aides. If she can’t come on a certain day, the agency would contact me to see whether I need some assistance or need somebody to fill me in on a given day. I think I’m paying more than I probably should because they have a mandatory number of days that I can contract for, and that’s probably more than I usually need. To maintain the contract, I have to keep them on a certain number of days.

It’s easy, safe, and convenient. We’ve served hundreds of individuals and families since 2017 and are proud to have a 4.9-star rating and more than 150 genuine reviews. With our network of 200+ Heroes, you can trust we take the work out of finding great in-home care.
Why OndeCare?
Convenience and Flexibility:
We provide in-home care for older adults, infants, children, and those with special needs.
Book care for your loved one when you need it, and at a price you can afford. For our complete list of services, see below.
Manage bookings, payments, and more all within your dashboard.
Call or message our team anytime you need.
Straightforward Pricing:
With Ondecare, you pay only the price you or your caregiver set—nothing more. Typically, this is around $25 an hour. We take a small percentage of what you pay as our commission.
Unlike us, traditional home care agencies get expensive quickly with hourly minimums and contracts. Traditional agencies also compensate caregivers with a small portion of what you pay for their time.
Save Hours & Stress:
Depending on the type of care you’re looking for, your budget, and your schedule, we’ll match you with a list of local caregivers who meet your criteria. Book your caregiver in minutes.
Our Heroes are experienced, verified professionals you can trust. They’ve passed a comprehensive interview and vetting process, including background and reference checks, so that you can have peace of mind.
Unlike us, other online options make you spend time finding and vetting the right caregiver, which can take hours or days on top of coordinating schedules.

Assisting Hands, Westlake: An Approach. A Culture. A Feeling …
<p></p>
You can count on our team of Home Care professionals to deliver above and beyond “traditional home care”. Our team lives the spirit of “The Assisting Hands Way” in our beliefs and actions in order to provide the highest level of home care available today. Our company culture represents exceptional standards and practices in today’s ever-changing caregiving industry.
<p></p>
Our Make it Happen and Do What it Takes team approach to coordination, care and communication is unparalleled and is fueled by our dedicated mission.
<p></p>
“The Assisting Hands Way” is all about the experiences of care – not just services. Our Caregivers are “heroes in disguise,” meeting people where they are at and using their gifts of compassion and skill to attend to and engage in the details that matter. Because we know that the little things are the big things.
<p></p>
It’s a sense of knowing that you have support from a Care Team working with you to take care of your family. It’s the reassuring feeling that those special and intangible nuances to care will be provided each and every time. It’s knowing that “this is it” and “no one can do it better”. It’s what you can’t put a price tag on. More than a way of doing, it’s a way of being.
<p></p>
The Assisting Hands client evaluation begins with a free in-home assessment to determine your individual needs. It’s our goal to work with you to create a unique plan of care that meets your needs and provides peace of mind. We carefully select the right caregiver for you. We seek to closely match personalities, interests and experiences of our work-family and clients in order to provide you the most harmonious, compassionate care possible.
<p></p>
Feel confident in knowing that our work-family is trained specifically to provide in-home care and all are bonded, insured, background checked, TB tested as well as certified in CPR.

I am a stroke victim in a wheelchair and In Home Angels are very nice people. They’re a very nice group. I have an excellent experience with them. I was with another agency prior and cost kept on mounting and getting prohibitive. So I met Carrie she worked for the agency I used to have her for a short while and she then decided to form her own agency with her 2 other partners. My experience has been quite good with them. The people they sent to help me are all very qualified. They’re very patient and nice people. I had no difficulty with any of them. I have been using them for a little over a year now and I’m quite happy with them. Everybody they sent were quite efficient and knows what they’re doing. I came back from a nursing home where I ended up breaking my left leg and broke my left ankle too. So when I came back here I was on a hospital bed. Eventually I gotten myself transferred to my own bed but I still have to use a hoyer lift. They’re very good about helping me in and out of bed with the hoyer lift. They help me exercise and strengthen my leg and feet. The last time I was able to walk was in December 2nd 2010.

Financial Assistance for Home Care in Beachwood, OH
Given the high cost of in-home care, many people use one or more forms of financial assistance to cover the expenses. Below, we explain some of the most common sources of financial help for paying for in-home care. If none of these options are available to you, you can reach out to your Area Agency on Aging or Aging and Disability Resource Center to learn about local resources.
- Long-Term Care Insurance: Long-Term Care Insurance covers expenses related to senior care, including in-home care. Depending on the policy type, beneficiaries may receive a cash payment to use towards long-term care or reimbursement for qualifying long-term care expenses. Note that there are limitations- typically a maximum benefit of $150 per day- and exact coverage terms vary depending on the exact policy, so always check the details.
- Medicare: Medicare does not cover in-home care because it is classified as custodial, or non-medical, care. However, some Medicare Advantage and Medicare Supplement plans, which offer expanded benefits, may cover in-home custodial care.
- Medicaid: Medicaid coverage of in-home care varies between different states because it is not a federally mandated benefit. Currently, all states cover some in-home care either through their standard Medicaid or a waiver program. The specific coverage rules are set individually by each state.
- Veterans’ Benefits: The Aid and Attendance benefit is a monthly cash payment that beneficiaries can use to pay for senior care, including in-home care services. To qualify for A&A, Veterans must already receive the VA pension and meet several additional requirements, including needing assistance with the activities of daily living. Contact the Department of Veterans Affairs to learn more.
- Reverse Mortgages: Home Equity Conversion Mortgages (HECMs) are federally insured loans that are available to homeowners age 62 and over. Reverse mortgages allow you to access a portion of your home’s equity in cash, tax free. Many seniors use reverse mortgages to finance their care expenses, including in-home care. Note that although there are no monthly payments due on reverse mortgage loans, borrowers do have to repay the loan once the last surviving homeowner passes away, moves, or sells the home.

Frequently Asked Questions
What types of services can a home care agency in Beachwood provide?
A home care agency in Beachwood can provide a wide range of services which allow seniors to safely and comfortably remain in their own home. Aides typically assist with day-to-day activities, such as meal preparation, housework, laundry and transferring from the bed to a chair. They also help seniors with personal care tasks, such as taking a shower, brushing their teeth, getting dressed and using the bathroom. Some care plans specifically include companionship hours for seniors who are socially isolated.
What should I look for in a good home care agency near me in Beachwood?
A good home care agency in Beachwood should have a favorable reputation and a high percentage of positive reviews. Check online reviews and ask for word-of-mouth opinions from physicians, social workers and other professionals who have interactions with home care agency staff throughout their work. Look for an agency that offers consistency regarding aides and appointment times and also has a relatively low staff turnover. Make sure the particular services required are provided and staff members are adequately trained to perform said services.
What is the average cost for in-home elderly care in Beachwood?
According to figures from the Genworth Cost of Care Survey 2021, home care costs an average of $5,196 per month in Beachwood. This is based on an individual receiving 44 hours of care each week. It equates to an hourly rate of $27.25. Seniors with relatively low care needs will naturally pay less than those who require more significant or time-consuming care.
Assisted living homes vs. home care: how to decide?
Assisted living and home care often provide comparable care services, such as assistance with personal care tasks and daily activities. Cost may be a deciding factor for budget-conscious seniors; in Beachwood, average monthly rates of assisted living and home care are $4,940 and $5,196, respectively. Although seniors can usually choose to reside in private rooms in assisted living facilities, remaining at home typically provides greater privacy. Aging in place also allows older adults to remain in a familiar environment and close to family and friends. However, isolated seniors who don’t have a local support network may value the social activities and companionship offered by residential care environments.
Who pays for cleaning supplies in home care?
In general, seniors must cover the costs of cleaning supplies themselves. This includes products such as dishwashing liquid, laundry detergent, bleach and toilet cleaner as well as sponges, cleaning cloths, scrubbing brushes and larger appliances. Home care aides typically don’t bring equipment or products to a person’s home; instead, they use existing items where care plans include domestic chores. Sometimes, aides go shopping for groceries and essential items. In such cases, seniors are expected to cover the cost of any purchases.
