24-Hour Care
24-hour home care services ensure your loved one has assistance at any time of day or night, providing peace of mind, safety, and security. Whether they require active personal care assistance during the night, or simply feel safer with a companion for emergencies, LifeWorx will work with you to determine the ideal schedule and level of care for your loved one’s home health care needs.
With round-the-clock coverage and a dedicated team of LifeWorx caregivers, you can have peace of mind knowing that the home will stay tidy, meals will be prepared and cooked daily, medications will be carefully managed, appointments will be attended, and personal care needs will be met. On top of that, your loved one will always have a warm and compassionate caregiver available to assist with any needs that may arise.
Alzheimer’s & Dementia Care
Memory loss comes with unique challenges, and our caregivers emphasize respect, patience, and understanding in even the most challenging moments. Our caregivers are trained and experienced in assisting individuals living with Alzheimer’s and other forms of dementia, and are equipped to navigate the changes in memory, personality, and behavior that come with it.
From helping maintain daily routines to providing reminders for medications, our caregivers help keep your loved one calm and comfortable. They offer support with tasks around the home, creating a secure environment, and engaging in activities that are meaningful and mentally stimulating to your loved one.
We offer families helpful tips and information to better understand dementia care, including how to create a supportive and safe home environment and communicate effectively with loved ones. We can also connect you with resources that will help make home modifications that enhance safety, as well as support groups for any family that may be struggling with watching their loved ones change over time.

Companion Care
Our companion care services provide a warm, caring presence in your loved one’s life. From enjoying a cup of coffee together to sharing a favorite hobby like gardening or playing the piano, to playing cards or putting together a puzzle, our caregivers build meaningful relationships that make each day special. These small moments make a big difference in maintaining a positive outlook and sense of purpose.
Whether your loved one needs companionship a few hours a week or more regular support, we can customize our services to meet your family’s needs.
Private Duty Nursing
Our private duty nursing services provide advanced medical care for individuals with complex health needs, allowing them to receive high-quality treatment in the comfort of their home.
Our nursing team is led by our highly qualified Director of Patient Services, Dwiann Morgan, who is licensed and oversees the Directors of Nursing in each state where we operate. Our nurses are experienced professionals who bring compassion and expertise to every client.
They are trained to provide specialized medical support beyond the scope of caregivers, including administering IV injections, wound care, medication management, and g-tube feeding. This level of support is vital for clients recovering from surgery, managing chronic conditions, or requiring close medical supervision.
Whether your loved one requires temporary nursing care following a hospital discharge or simply prefers the peace of mind that a more extensively trained professional can provide, private duty nursing offers a flexible, personalized solution for your needs. Our nurses work closely with physicians and other healthcare providers to create a seamless care experience, so you can rest assured knowing they’re in the best hands.

How it Works
Discuss your care needs
Documenting medical needs is the easy part. Where the work comes in is understanding your loved one’s personality, their triggers and limitations, any barriers to potentially accepting care for the first time, and the little things we can add to their lives by way of a caregiver that will put a smile on their face.
Meet our caregivers
You’ll meet several fully vetted caregivers, each with a biography summarizing their skills and experience, activities they enjoy engaging in with clients, personality traits, quotes from their reference transcripts, and a photo from their in-person interview. From there, you can interview either in-person or over the phone or video call or simply decide based on their profile.
Services begin
We do our best to keep things simple and find the perfect match for your loved one on our first time around and are encouraged by how often this happens. However, if things are not quite clicking, our Client Managers will take your feedback and go back to the drawing board for a more fitting solution. Above and beyond is the expectation, not the exception, with peace of mind as the ultimate outcome.

Our In-Home Caregivers
Quality of care starts with our caregivers. Our dedicated team of Candidate Managers are responsible for proactively vetting new in-home caregivers to ensure we always have the best fit available for your current and future needs.
Running a background check and verifying certifications is the easy part. Where our team adds value is the time spent by Reference Managers speaking with two or more local families that each applicant worked for long-term, assessing each reference for caliber, skills, validity, enthusiasm, and accuracy.
Once past the reference stage, every caregiver comes in for an in-person interview where our Candidate Managers carefully observe their personality, communication skills, punctuality, focus, flexibility, and demeanor. Our Client Managers then meet with each applicant as well, getting to know more about their background and what makes them unique to best match them with prospective clients.
Ultimately, the process ends by asking the most important question of all – “Is this someone I would trust in my own home to take care of my own family?” We accept only 5% of caregiver applicants, using a meticulous selection process, and enforce a one-strike policy to maintain our high standards.
With our rigorous vetting process and careful matching, you can be confident that our caregivers are not only highly qualified but also compassionate, reliable, and dedicated to enhancing your loved one’s quality of life.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is home care and how does it differ from home health care?
Home care is defined as a non-clinical supportive service such as homemaker and companion. Home care services provide a loved one comfort and quality of in-home living.
Home health care is defined as medical and clinical supervision by a licensed professional such as registered/licensed practical nurses, occupational therapists, and physical therapists. It also includes the administration of prescription medications or shots, monitoring of health status, medical tests, and wound care.
Home care and home health care often include meal preparation, assistance with appointments, assistance with activities of daily living, cleaning, and organizing.
What qualifications, certifications, experience, and training do you require of your in-home caregivers?
LifeWorx has a rigorous and thorough vetting process. We require at least 2 years of private care experience and at least 2 recent, professional in-home references for our “Reference Manager” to speak with. Typically, we require references to be from the local community where the applicant is looking to provide services. If we like what we hear, we will invite the candidate in for an in-person interview. Here, we do a deep dive into their credentials, skills, experiences, as well as who they are as a person. If all goes well, we will run a 50-state criminal background check and check their driving record as well.
Will health insurance, Medicare, or Medicaid cover the cost of home health care?
While health insurance may cover the cost of care, LifeWorx only accepts Long-Term Care insurance and private pay.
How will I meet my care provider?
If you wish to meet your care provider before services start, we can set up an interview, trial, phone, or video call to determine whether the candidate will be a good fit in your home.
What is the difference between live-in and live-out caregivers or Nannies?
A Live-in is someone who can live in the home with you and be there in case of an emergency or assist in nighttime responsibilities. Live-in caregivers are there 24 hours a day, but typically have up to 13 working hours and can sleep at night for a minimum of 8 hours, with 5 of them being consecutive. A Live-out Home Health Aide or Nanny or Housekeeper is someone who will come and work during the day and leave at the end of the day.
