What Does Affordable Senior Home Care Look Like?
Affordable home care refers to non-medical support that helps seniors remain independent. At ICON, our caregivers provide companionship, mobility support, bathing assistance, and medication reminders — all personalized for your loved one’s needs. We distinguish between general home care for elders and skilled home health care, which includes medical services provided by licensed clinicians.
ICON’s care plans include:
- Companionship and social engagement
- Assistance with hygiene and dressing
- Help with walking, transfers, and mobility
- Medication reminders and safety checks
Our goal is to provide compassionate assistance for seniors living at home — safely and affordably.
