+ How do I find out if Finest Home Care is right for my loved one?

Call anytime at (929) 500-1280 for a quick chat about care needs and other preferences.

+ Can I choose my caregiver?

Of course! Caregivers are not the same as other helpers - it's important to get along. Your first call is to better understand how to match a great companion for you. Before the first visit, you receive information about your new caregiver. In fact, any day, any time, you can request a new caregiver and they work to find a better match ASAP!

+ What happens on the first day?

For every new client, a nurse (an RN) will accompany the caregiver on the first day. You will be introduced to your caregiver before their first visit. The nurse will make sure that the caregiver is equipped to meet all of your needs, make sure you are comfortable with everything, and come up with a care plan for the caregiver to follow.

+ How much does it cost?

Finest Home Care charges $22 per hour of care. There are no sign-up fees or additional taxes. Initial consultations and periodic nurse assessments are all included. The no-surprises fee policy is there to make sure you can plan ahead with confidence. Finest also accepts select Medicaid and Long Term Care insurance policies.

+ Is there are minimum number of hours per week or per day?

No minimum hours per week. Just the hours you need, when you need it. Finest does have a minimum visit time of two hours on any one day.

+ Are there any services in addition to home care?

+ When can I call?

+ What should I do if I need to cancel a care visit?

If you let Finest know more than 24 hours in advance there is no charge at all. Just call or send an email (earlier the better). If it’s less than 24 hours, it is Finest's policy to charge you for the care visit so the caregiver can be paid - it’s important that caregivers have predictability too.

Yes! You are not locked into any long term contracts. In fact, there is no minimum length of service and no setup fee either.
