Start with the door that fits your situation

“I need care at home for myself or a relative.”
Tell us what support is needed. We review the situation, confirm the service area and coverage, then match a caregiver to the approved care plan.

“I want to be paid to care for my relative.”
Depending on the program and the relationship, an eligible relative, friend or trusted person may be able to become a paid caregiver through our agency.

Care at home, built around the person.
The right support can make it possible to remain at home with greater comfort, confidence and independence.
We begin by listening to the participant and the family, understanding the approved care plan, and matching each person with a caregiver whose skills and personality fit their needs.
Whether you need a few hours of support, overnight assistance or help from someone you already know and trust, our team will explain the available options and guide you through the next steps.
A Philadelphia office you can actually walk into.
We are not a call centre in another state. The office is on S Philip Street, the phone is answered by the people who arrange the care, and the caregivers live in the city they work in.

Care from someone you already know and trust
In some Pennsylvania home care programs, an eligible relative, friend or trusted person may be able to become a paid caregiver. Compassion Home Care can help you understand the onboarding process, required documentation, training and timekeeping responsibilities.
Eligibility, authorized services and approved hours are determined by the applicable state program and health plan. Not every relationship or situation qualifies.

Questions families ask first
Does Compassion Home Care accept Medicaid?
Yes. Compassion Home Care accepts Medicaid waiver participants. Coverage depends on eligibility, authorization, the participant's plan and the agency's current payer agreements. Contact us so we can review your situation.
Can a family member become the paid caregiver?
Some relatives, friends or trusted individuals may qualify, depending on the program and their relationship or legal role. Our team can explain the onboarding requirements, but the applicable program or health plan determines eligibility and approved hours.
Is this medical home health care?
No. Compassion Home Care provides non-medical assistance with personal care, daily activities, companionship and approved specialized support. We do not describe these services as nursing, therapy or medical treatment.
Which languages do you speak?
Our team can support participants and families in English, Spanish, Albanian and Italian.
