How We Provide Care in a Facility: One-on-One Support Where Your Loved One Lives
When a loved one moves into an assisted living community, memory care, skilled nursing facility (SNF), or rehab, many families expect their care needs will be fully covered. In reality, facilities do their best—but staffing ratios, routines, and competing priorities can make it hard to provide consistent 1:1 attention.
That’s where AffordCare Home Care comes in.
Our Care in Facilities service provides dedicated, one-on-one caregiver support inside a facility—helping your loved one stay comfortable, safe, and emotionally supported, while giving your family peace of mind.
What “Care in a Facility” Means
Care in a facility is private-duty caregiving provided in settings like:
Assisted living communities
Memory care communities
Skilled nursing facilities (SNFs)
Rehab centers
Hospital stays (non-medical support, when allowed)
We don’t replace the facility’s staff—we supplement their care with consistent, focused support that’s tailored to your loved one.
Who Benefits Most From 1:1 Facility Support
Families often request care in a facility when a loved one:
Needs more help than the facility can consistently provide
Has a high fall risk or needs frequent bathroom assistance
Is adjusting to a new environment and feels anxious, confused, or withdrawn
Has dementia and benefits from calm cueing and routine
Needs help eating/drinking or requires encouragement at meals
Is recovering after a hospitalization, surgery, or rehab
Needs a companion for appointments, therapy sessions, or activities
Has family members who can’t be there daily but want consistent oversight
What Our Caregivers Do in a Facility
Every care plan is customized, but common support includes:
Comfort, routine, and companionship:
Consistent presence to reduce loneliness and anxiety
Conversation, reassurance, and meaningful engagement
Gentle structure to help the day feel predictable

Toileting support and timely bathroom reminders
Mobility support: walking assistance, transfers, wheelchair support
Repositioning and comfort measures (within caregiver scope)
Meals and hydration:
Meal setup support and encouragement to eat
Feeding assistance (when appropriate and permitted)
Hydration reminders and monitoring intake patterns

Extra supervision to reduce falls and unsafe wandering
Noticing changes and communicating concerns to family
Helping ensure personal items, call button, glasses/hearing aids are accessible

How We Work With the Facility Team
We believe in respectful collaboration. Our caregiver:
Follows facility rules and care protocols
Communicates professionally with nurses and staff
Keeps families updated while respecting privacy and boundaries
Focuses on support tasks that enhance comfort and continuity
The goal is a smoother day-to-day experience for your loved one—and fewer “gaps” that families often worry about.
What We Don’t Do
AffordCare caregivers provide non-medical support. We do not perform skilled nursing tasks (such as injections, wound care, or medical procedures) unless explicitly allowed by law and appropriately licensed personnel are involved.
If your loved one needs medical-level services, we can help you understand options and coordinate around the care already being provided.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can you provide care in any facility?
In most cases, yes—so long as the facility allows private-duty caregivers and we can follow their policies.
Will your caregiver replace facility staff?
No. We complement the facility by providing consistent 1:1 attention and support.
How quickly can services start?
It depends on scheduling and caregiver availability, but we aim to start as soon as safely possible after the care plan is confirmed.
Do you help with post-hospital transitions?
Yes—many families use facility care during rehab, then continue with After Hospital/Rehab Care once the client returns home.
