Family Care

Family Care is a homecare agency serving Hilton Head Island, South Carolina and surrounding areas. Homecare agencies provide non-medical personal care services that allow individuals to remain safely in their homes while receiving assistance with daily activities.

Services provided by homecare agencies typically include personal care assistance (bathing, dressing, grooming), companionship, meal preparation, light housekeeping, medication reminders, transportation to appointments, and respite care for family caregivers.

In South Carolina, homecare agencies are typically regulated by the South Carolina Department of Health and Environmental Control and generally must maintain a In-Home Care Provider License. South Carolina requires licensure for In-Home Care Providers.

Payment Options: In South Carolina, Medicaid may help pay for homecare services through programs like Community Choices Waiver. These Home and Community-Based Services (HCBS) waivers help eligible individuals receive care at home instead of in an institutional setting. Contact South Carolina Department of Health and Human Services or visit https://www.scdhhs.gov/long-term-care to learn about eligibility and how to apply.

When selecting a homecare agency, consider factors such as caregiver screening procedures, training requirements, supervision practices, and the agency's responsiveness to client needs and concerns. Visit South Carolina Department of Health and Environmental Control for more information about homecare services in South Carolina.
