Your Guide to Navigating Home Care Excellence

We break down the "Raised Bar" difference between Agencies:

​

• Paying for Care:  When families begin exploring in-home care, one of the first questions is often about cost. While the hourly rate is an important consideration, it’s equally important to understand what that rate actually includes. Not all home care services are the same, and in caregiving—perhaps more than anywhere else—the principle often holds true: you get what you pay for.

• Our Approach: At A Star Above, our approach to care is designed to reflect a higher standard of service—more like a concierge-level experience than a basic staffing service. That means we focus not only on filling shifts, but on carefully selecting, supporting, and overseeing caregivers who are motivated, professional, and genuinely invested in the well-being of the seniors they serve. We also help families understand the different ways care can be funded. Many families pay privately, while others use Long-Term Care Insurance benefits or Veteran benefits to help offset the cost of services. Our team can help guide you through these options so you can make the best financial and care decisions for your situation. 

• The "Star Above" Difference: What sets us apart is that we don’t provide “sitters.” We provide Enhanced Life Caretakers—caregivers who actively participate in the well-being of the person they are supporting. Instead of simply being present in the room, our caregivers engage with seniors in meaningful ways throughout the day.
