Home Instead
Home Instead is a homecare agency serving State College, Pennsylvania 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 Pennsylvania, homecare agencies are typically regulated by the Pennsylvania Department of Health and generally must maintain a Home Care Agency License or Home Care Registry License. Pennsylvania requires licensure for Home Care Agencies and Home Care Registries.
Payment Options: In Pennsylvania, Medicaid may help pay for homecare services through programs like Community HealthChoices. These Home and Community-Based Services (HCBS) waivers help eligible individuals receive care at home instead of in an institutional setting. Contact Pennsylvania Department of Human Services or visit https://www.dhs.pa.gov/Services/Assistance/Pages/Medicaid-LTSS.aspx 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 Pennsylvania Department of Health for more information about homecare services in Pennsylvania.
Licensing requirements and regulations may change. We recommend verifying current requirements directly with your state's licensing agency.

We have the pleasure of working with Home Instead for our Mother, and we couldn't be more satisfied with their services. The entire team is professional, compassionate, and attentive. They truly go above and beyond to ensure the comfort, safety and well-being for our Mother. From the initial consultation to the ongoing care, Home Instead demonstrated a genuine commitment to quality and personalized service. The caregivers are not only skilled and knowledgeable but also empathetic and kind. They are responsive to any questions or concerns we have. It's clear that they take pride in what they do and genuinely care about the people they serve. Home Instead has truly made a positive impact on our lives, and we are grateful for their exceptional support.
We are so grateful to Home Instead for the wonderful care they provided for our parents. When my dad came home from rehab, we had to scramble to find good help for him and our mom at home. Home Instead stepped in and sent them a caregiver who came to help them 3x a week. She helped prepare their meals, helped them bathe, did their laundry, cleaned, and helped them with other everyday household tasks that had become a struggle when they developed mobility issues. Their caregiver was wonderful. She listened to them and was so kind, patient, and caring. We also appreciated the communication between the agency and us; they were always checking in to see if we had any concerns or additional help they could provide. We cannot say enough good things about Home Instead and highly recommend them to anyone looking for care for their loved ones. Deb Nungesser
High praise for everyone in the State College office and especially the care givers. I signed a contract in February, anticipating my Dad’s discharge from rehab. He did return home but had to be hospitalized3 times in the following 4 months. Home Instead never missed a beat. We had care givers each time he returned home. I appreciate their flexibility, given the challenges that schedulers face. Our business contact, Denise, was kind, understanding and helpful. Denise even made an effort to visit dad during hospitalizations and stints in rehab. I highly recommend this service!
Our family has engaged Home Instead for the past few years in support of our father/father-in law and we could not be happier with the care he has been given. While all of the staff who have visited have been kind and great in their roles, Nixie has really made a difference in the quality of life our father has. Together, they make a great team as she helps him tackle his goals for the day. His implicit trust for her and the compassionate way she engages with him are unmatched in our experience. We are extremely grateful to Nixie and to Home Instead for such wonderful care.
I had four helpers over a five month time. They were all very nice and never complained about anything I asked then help for. My cat especially liked the ones with their own cats even though she's a little nasty sometimes.
