One plan per person
Every care plan is written around a single person's routines, preferences, and wishes. Never a one‑size template pulled off a shelf.
What we do
Every kind of care, shaped around one person.
From a few hours of companionship to around‑the‑clock support, we tailor care to exactly what your loved one needs today, and adjust it as life changes. One plan, one trusted team, built for the person in front of us.
How we work
Care that stays personal.
Whatever level of support you choose, three things never change: the way we plan it, the people who provide it, and how closely we keep your family in the loop.
Consistent caregivers
We send the same familiar faces, matched for skill and personality, so trust has room to grow visit after visit.
Family kept close
Regular updates and a real person on the phone, day or night, so you always know how your loved one is doing.
Our services
Care for every season.
Six ways we help, on their own or woven together. Not sure where your family fits? A free consultation is the simplest way to find out.
Personal Care
Hands‑on help with the daily routines that keep someone clean, comfortable, and safe, always delivered with patience and an eye for dignity. For many families this is where care begins, when the everyday tasks start to feel like too much.
- Bathing & showering
- Dressing & grooming
- Toileting & incontinence care
- Mobility & safe transfers
- Medication reminders
- Feeding & meal assistance
Companion Care
Sometimes the greatest need isn't physical. It's a friendly face, a steady presence, and someone to share the day with. Our companions keep loneliness at bay while quietly handling the errands and light tasks that make home run smoothly.
- Conversation & companionship
- Meal planning & cooking
- Errands & grocery runs
- Light housekeeping & laundry
- Rides to appointments
- Hobbies, games & outings
Memory Care
Memory loss from Alzheimer's or dementia asks for a special kind of patience. Our caregivers are trained to bring calm, structure, and gentle redirection, meeting your loved one where they are, and giving the whole family a safer, steadier day.
- Familiar daily routines
- Gentle cueing & redirection
- Wandering & safety monitoring
- Meaningful, calming activities
- Sundowning support
- Family coaching & guidance
Respite Care
Family caregivers give so much, and they need rest to keep giving. Whether it's an afternoon, a weekend, or a week away, we step in seamlessly so you can recharge, travel, or simply catch your breath, knowing your loved one is in caring hands.
- Planned or short‑notice relief
- A few hours to several days
- Full continuation of routines
- Personal & companion support
- Overnight & weekend coverage
- Detailed hand‑off updates
24‑Hour & Live‑In Care
When your loved one shouldn't be alone, day or night, we provide continuous, attentive support at home. Whether through rotating shifts or a dedicated live‑in caregiver, there's always someone there for the moments that can't wait.
- Around‑the‑clock coverage
- Overnight safety & monitoring
- Help getting in & out of bed
- Fall prevention & response
- Live‑in or rotating shifts
- 24/7 on‑call supervision
Post‑Hospital Recovery
The first weeks home after a hospital or rehab stay are when setbacks happen most. We make that transition safe: following discharge instructions, keeping recovery on track, and easing the load so healing can happen where it's most comfortable.
- Safe discharge & homecoming
- Medication reminders & schedules
- Follow‑up appointment rides
- Mobility & exercise support
- Nutritious meal preparation
- Watchful eye for warning signs

Common questions
Answers before you ask.
A few of the things families most want to know. Have another question? We're always happy to talk it through.
How much does in‑home care cost?
Cost depends on the plan: how many hours each week, the level of care, and whether it's daytime, overnight, or live‑in. Companion visits are the most affordable; 24‑hour and specialized care cost more.
After your free consultation we'll give you a clear, written estimate with no surprises. There's never a charge to talk it through and understand your options.
Is there a minimum number of hours?
Yes. Private duty care requires a minimum shift of 4 hours, at least 3 shifts a week. That minimum gives a caregiver enough time to do things unhurried and well, and keeps scheduling manageable for everyone. From there, families scale up as needs change. We'll recommend what makes sense for your situation, never more than you need.
How do you choose our caregiver?
We match on two things: skill and personality. First we make sure a caregiver has the right experience for your loved one's needs. Then we look for the right human fit, the temperament and interests that help a genuine connection form.
If the match ever isn't right, tell us. We'll adjust until it feels like family.
Can the care plan change over time?
Yes. The care plan can change at the request of the client or their responsible party, whether that's adding hours after a hospital stay or easing back as someone regains strength. Before any change takes effect, we complete a reassessment to make sure the requested care can be provided safely, for both the client and our caregivers.
Do you accept long‑term care insurance (LTCI)?
Yes. We accept both private pay and long‑term care insurance (LTCI). If you have an LTCI policy, we'll help verify your benefits and handle the documentation and paperwork so your coverage is put to use with as little hassle as possible. Just ask, and we'll walk you through it.
Is Cedar a medical or home health agency?
No. Cedar Family Care is a private-pay, non-medical home care company. Our caregivers provide personal care, companionship, and support with daily routines, not skilled nursing, medical treatment, or therapy. If your loved one needs medical or skilled nursing care at home, we're glad to help point you toward the right resource.
Not sure which care is right?
That's exactly what the free consultation is for. We'll listen, talk through the options, and help you find the right fit, even if it isn't us.
