Frequently asked questions about home care
What is the difference between home care and home health care?
Home care, which may also be called in-home care or non-medical home care, focuses on assistance with activities of daily living: bathing, dressing, meal preparation, companionship, and similar support. Home health care involves medically skilled services, such as nursing, medication management, and post-operative care. Windward provides both, and our care managers can help you determine which is right for your situation.
How much does home care cost in San Diego?
Costs vary based on the length of shift and your location within San Diego County. Unlike some agencies, we don’t charge more based on the type of care involved – the rate is the same whether your loved one needs light housekeeping or hands-on personal care. We’re happy to discuss your situation and provide a clear picture of what to expect. Call us at 619-450-4300 or fill out our contact form to start the conversation.
What makes Windward’s home care aides different?
All Windward home care aides complete our proprietary Compass Care Certification – a 10-hour training program covering healthy aging, client safety, dementia care, mental health, developmental disability, end-of-life care, and the prevention of abuse and neglect. Each aide’s proficiency is assessed by our RN clinical services manager before certification is awarded, and ongoing continuing education is required throughout the year.
We take the matching process seriously too, pairing clients with aides who are the right fit for their personality, preferences, and household. All aides are supervised by an Aging Life Care Manager through regular home visits and check-ins – and our caregiver turnover rate is much less than the industry average, meaning clients benefit from consistency over time.
Can you provide care for someone with dementia or Alzheimer’s?
Yes. Our home care aides are experienced in supporting clients living with Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s, and other forms of dementia, and work under the guidance of an Aging Life Care Manager with specialized expertise in this area.
Do you offer 24-hour or live-in home care?
Yes. We can arrange care ranging from a few hours per week to around-the-clock, 24/7 support, depending on your needs.
