Home Care in Quincy from CARE Resolutions
CARE Resolutions is a family owned and operated agency, and we've been serving the community of Eastern Massachusetts since 1997. Vicky Hunt founded the company after the compassionate, moving experience of caring for her own mother. That same family centered way of caring still shapes every plan of care we put together, and Quincy is one of the communities we're proud to serve.
Families looking for home care in Quincy, MA usually picture help in a parent's own house, and one-on-one help in the comfort of home is the heart of what we do. Our caregivers also go wherever your loved one happens to be staying. We provide service in private homes, assisted living communities, hospitals, skilled nursing facilities and rehabilitation centers. That means a Quincy senior can have one of our caregivers by their side during a hospital or rehab stay, and again once they're settled back home.
In-Home Care Services for Quincy Seniors
In-home senior care in Quincy, MA starts with the everyday things that have gotten a little harder. Our caregivers help with the activities of daily living, at whatever pace feels right to your loved one, and the plan of care you help create spells out what each visit includes. The help we provide covers:
- Safety monitoring and supervision
- Help with walking and mobility
- Bathing, toileting and dressing
- Transferring, such as in and out of bed or a chair
- Medication reminders
- Cueing and reminders through the day
- Turning and repositioning
- Cooking and help with eating
- Light housekeeping
- Errands and transportation
- Pet care
- Companionship
Companionship matters as much as the hands-on help. A caregiver who keeps the conversation going over lunch, reads together with your mom or sits down with your dad for a favorite show makes a long afternoon at home feel a lot shorter.
Some families need care built around a diagnosis, and our caregivers receive specialized training for that, too. We offer dementia care at home for seniors living with memory loss, ALS and Parkinson's home care for changes in movement and strength, and in-home hospice and cancer care that adds caregivers alongside a hospice team. We also provide stroke care at home through the weeks of recovery and hospital transition care for the first days back home after a discharge.

24-Hour, Live-In and Hourly Care in Quincy
Care schedules are built around your loved one, from a few hours a day to around the clock. Hourly visits work well for help with mornings, meals or errands, and you get to choose the tasks and the times that suit your household.
24-hour home care in Quincy can be set up two ways. Hourly caregivers can cover the whole day and night by working in shifts, and they stay awake overnight to help with confusion, trouble sleeping, wandering or trips to the bathroom. A live-in caregiver lives in the home and helps through the day and evening. Live-in caregivers need their own private room, sleep about eight hours a night and take breaks during the day, so a senior who needs help often during the night is usually better served by hourly care.
Our page on around-the-clock care with live-in or hourly caregivers walks through both options in more detail, so you can see which one fits.
Caregivers Quincy Families Can Trust
Inviting someone into your home is a big step, and we treat it that way. Our caregivers are licensed, trained, supervised and compassionate, and CARE Resolutions is bonded and insured. Every caregiver meets the certification requirements set by the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, passes a National Criminal Background and CORI check, and is randomly drug and alcohol tested.
Training keeps going, too. Our caregivers receive specialized training in all dementias, ALS, Parkinson's disease, MS management and hip replacement recovery, and ongoing training is provided six times a year.
Matching is where it gets personal. After you and your loved one help us create the plan of care, we look at each caregiver's skills, experience, certifications, personality, hobbies and outside interests to find a great match. Caregivers are routinely supervised, and we make follow-up home visits on a regular, ongoing basis. Our Caregiver Guarantee means that if you or your loved one aren't comfortable with a caregiver for any reason, we'll make a change. You can read more about how we train, supervise and match our caregivers on our About Us page.

Home Care That Fits Quincy Homes and Households
Senior home care in Quincy has to fit the city's houses and the people living in them. About 4 in 10 Quincy homes were built in 1939 or earlier, and more than half went up before 1960. Older homes often mean stairs between floors, front steps and snug bathrooms, which are the spots where help with walking and transfers makes the biggest difference.
Nearly 5,800 Quincy seniors live on their own. For a parent living alone, a caregiver's visit is a safety check and a friendly face in the same hour, and family can rest a little easier knowing someone stopped by.
Close to a third of Quincy residents 65 and older speak a language other than English at home, many of them an Asian or Pacific Island language. Our caregiver matching looks at personality, interests and the qualities that put your loved one at ease, so companionship feels natural from the first visit.
