What help can SILK provide at home?

Think through a normal day with your loved one. We can talk about where they’ll need a hand and when your family can be there.

  • Getting ready for the day

    Help with bathing, dressing, grooming, and using the bathroom.

  • Getting around the house

    Help getting up and moving through the house, based on your loved one’s care plan.

  • Meals and household tasks

    Meal preparation, laundry, fresh linens, and light housekeeping.

  • While family is away

    Companionship and supervision when relatives are at work, running errands, or taking a break.

Before the ride home

Ask your loved one and the discharge team to walk through the first day and night with you.

  • Ask what help your loved one is expected to need with stairs, getting in and out of bed, and using the bathroom.
  • Find out what equipment should be ready and when any home nursing or therapy visits are expected to begin.
  • Decide who can be there when your loved one arrives and which hours your family still needs to cover.

When you call SILK, share the town, the expected discharge date if you have one, and where you could use help. We’ll talk through the schedule, cost, and caregiver availability.

Questions families ask

Can a caregiver be there on discharge day?

It may be possible. Get in touch early so we can review your loved one’s needs, the home location, and caregiver availability before confirming a start date.

Can SILK help alongside home health or therapy?

Yes. A SILK caregiver can help with daily routines at home while your home health nurses or therapists provide the skilled care arranged by your discharge team.

How much does care at home cost?

We’ll go over the current rate, visit minimums, and the hours you’re considering before you decide. You can also review home care costs.

For rehab and nursing home staff
