Keeping Home an Option for a Lifetime
Home…is there any more comforting concept?
It’s where we create our most cherished memories, where we can relax and be ourselves, remaining in control of the many little decisions each day brings: what we’d like to eat (and when), what activities we’d like to engage in, what time to go to sleep and wake up.
Providing care in the familiarity of home is a great honor for us at Real Life Home Care, and it’s not something we take lightly. It’s our mission to provide quality, affordable, personalized home care services for our clients, regardless of age or infirmity. We seek to form partnerships with the families we serve to provide creative solutions that empower individuals and enhance quality of life in a healing home environment.

Our New Client Process
What You Can Expect When You Contact Us
For Home Care Services
- All of our home care services begin with a complimentary in-home consultation by one of our registered nurses, during which we’ll get to know more about the challenges you’re facing, assess the safety of the home environment and review pricing and payment options.
- We then create a personalized plan of care that outlines the solutions we suggest to best help a client live life to the fullest.
- Once a care plan is agreed upon, we carefully match the client with appropriate care personnel based on individual needs and preferences.
- We offer clients and families free access to our online Family Room which allows them the opportunity to see schedules, caregiver tasks and care logs, caregiver notes as well as comments and invoices.
- Finally, we monitor and update the care plan on an ongoing basis, to ensure needs are met immediately, and also proactively addressed as needs change in the future.
For Private Nursing Services
- You or your healthcare provider/social worker contact Real Life Home Care to let us know about your needs. We will complete a Release of Information form, allowing us to speak with your medical team.
- We will work with your medical provider and insurance company to find out how many hours of nursing care you qualify for.
- One of our nurse case managers works with your family and medical team to coordinate discharge to home (if hospitalized) and admission to in‑home nursing care, meanwhile finding nurses who will visit your home on a consistent basis.
- An individualized care plan is created and nursing care begins.
- We are here to provide the answers you need to make informed decisions and the empathy and compassion you deserve while navigating an often-overwhelming experience.
