In-Home Support for Adults With Disabilities (Non-Medical)

In-home support for adults with disabilities means having help with everyday life at home while staying within non-medical scope. Nana Cares is a home care agency, also known as a Personal Service Agency, and does not provide nursing or clinical treatment. Instead, support is focused on daily living, comfort, routine, and practical help at home.

This can include personal care, homemaker support, companionship, respite, non-medical reminders, and limited transportation as part of a care plan. The goal is not to take over someone’s life. The goal is to support independence, dignity, and safer day-to-day living in a way that fits the person’s needs and preferences.
