Social Care focuses on the daily activities that allow seniors to live independently, safely, and with dignity. While these tasks may not be basic personal care needs, they are essential to maintaining quality of life at home. At Care To Stay Home, we support the Instrumental Activities of Daily Living (IADLs) so your loved one can remain engaged, nourished, and connected.

Companionship & Social Engagement
Staying socially connected is vital for emotional and mental well-being. Our caregivers provide meaningful companionship—talking, listening, engaging in hobbies, and encouraging participation in favorite activities.
Whether escorting a client to community events or providing bedside support during a hospital stay, we offer families peace of mind knowing their loved one is never alone.

FAQs
The most popular questions
What is the difference between Social Care and Personal Care?
Social Care focuses on the Instrumental Activities of Daily Living (IADLs) — tasks like transportation, meal preparation, grocery shopping, and community engagement that support independent living. Personal Care involves hands-on physical assistance with daily hygiene and mobility.
Do you provide transportation to medical appointments?
Yes. Transportation to doctor visits, therapy appointments, errands, and social outings is included as part of our comprehensive, ongoing care plans. We provide these services for clients who meet our minimum scheduling requirements (a minimum of 4 hours per visit and 20 hours per week). This ensures consistency, safety, and continuity of care while supporting our clients’ independence in the community.
Can you accommodate special dietary needs?
Yes. We assist with meal planning and preparation for specific diets, including diabetic, low-sodium, renal, and heart-healthy plans.
How do you create a Social Care plan?
Our Care Managers meet with families to understand lifestyle preferences, health needs, and safety concerns. We then design a personalized care plan that supports independence and well-being at home.
Does Medicare cover Social Care services?
No, Medicare does not cover non-medical Social Care services. However, we do work with Long-Term Care Insurance policies and can assist families with documentation and coordination when coverage is available.
