Caring in Place

Caring in Place is a homecare agency serving Memphis, Tennessee and surrounding areas. Homecare agencies provide non-medical personal care services that allow individuals to remain safely in their homes while receiving assistance with daily activities.

Services provided by homecare agencies typically include personal care assistance (bathing, dressing, grooming), companionship, meal preparation, light housekeeping, medication reminders, transportation to appointments, and respite care for family caregivers.

In Tennessee, homecare agencies are typically regulated by the Tennessee Department of Health and generally must maintain a Home Care Organization License. Tennessee requires licensure for Home Care Organizations.

Payment Options: In Tennessee, Medicaid may help pay for homecare services through programs like CHOICES in Long-Term Services and Supports. These Home and Community-Based Services (HCBS) waivers help eligible individuals receive care at home instead of in an institutional setting. Contact Tennessee Division of TennCare or visit https://www.tn.gov/tenncare.html to learn about eligibility and how to apply.

When selecting a homecare agency, consider factors such as caregiver screening procedures, training requirements, supervision practices, and the agency's responsiveness to client needs and concerns. Visit Tennessee Department of Health for more information about homecare services in Tennessee.

Licensing requirements and regulations may change. We recommend verifying current requirements directly with your state's licensing agency.
