  • Hourly visits from a few hours per week
  • Care for couples in the same home
  • Flexible schedules that change as needs do
How It Works

The Meris Five-Step Care Process

Good care isn't improvised. We follow the same disciplined process used by the nation's leading home care agencies — so nothing about your loved one's care is left to chance.

1

Free In-Home Assessment

A care coordinator visits your home — free, with no obligation. We learn about daily routines, mobility, memory, medications, meals, budget, and schedule preferences.

2

Your Personalized Care Plan

You receive a written plan: the exact tasks, hours, schedule, caregiver qualifications, and costs. Nothing starts until your family approves it.

3

Caregiver Matching

We match on skills and experience — and on personality, routines, language, and preferences like comfort around pets. If the fit isn't right, we rematch.

4

Care Begins, Supervised

Once you approve the plan, we arrange the first visits. A care coordinator stays in close contact through the first shifts to make sure the plan works in real life.

5

Ongoing Oversight & Reviews

Supervisory home visits, family check-ins, and regular care-plan reviews. When needs change, the plan changes — you're never locked into yesterday's care.

Every assessment includes a complimentary home safety & fall-risk check. We walk the home with you — lighting, rugs, cords, bathroom grab points, stairs — and flag the small fixes that prevent the falls that send seniors to the hospital. Bring your loved one's medical history, medication list, and daily routine; having them present helps us build the right plan the first time.

Why Families Choose Meris

The details that make care feel safe

Anyone can promise "compassionate care." What matters is the care behind every visit — caregivers who are carefully screened, trained, and supervised.

  • Carefully screenedEvery Meris caregiver is carefully screened and background-checked before joining the team.
  • Trained for the care they provideCaregivers receive training for the care they provide, with ongoing support from our care team.
  • Supervised careCare coordinators stay in touch, visit, and review care plans as needs change.
  • Reliable coverageIf a caregiver is unavailable, we work to arrange coverage so care continues with as little disruption as possible.
Cost & Payment

Honest pricing, explained up front

Your cost depends on the hours, tasks, and schedule in your care plan. After your free in-home assessment, you receive a written estimate before care begins — and no care starts until you approve it. Here are the common ways families pay.

Private pay

The most common way families pay. You always receive a written estimate before care begins.

Long-term care insurance

If you have long-term care insurance, we can help with the documentation your insurer needs. Email us and we can talk through your policy with you.

Veterans benefits

We can help veterans explore VA benefits that may help pay for in-home care. Email us and we will point you in the right direction.

Medicaid programs

Some families pay through Medicaid programs that cover in-home care for eligible seniors. Email us and we will help you find the right starting point.

What Medicare does — and doesn't — cover

Medicare covers short-term skilled home health under a doctor's plan of care, but it does not pay for ongoing daily aide care, personal care as the only service, or 24-hour care.

A Day With Meris

More than tasks — a better day at home

A Meris visit might mean help getting dressed safely, a favorite soup for lunch, a walk around the block, laundry folded, and a call to family with a real update — not just "everything's fine." It's the combination of practical help and genuine company that lets people stay home longer, and lets adult children go back to being sons and daughters instead of round-the-clock caregivers.

  • For seniors & adults recovering at homeAging in place, post-surgery recovery, chronic conditions, and support for adults with disabilities.

  • For hospitals & discharge plannersWe accept professional referrals. Email our office to refer a patient.

Questions

Frequently asked questions

What is the difference between home care and home health care?
Home care (what a home health aide agency like Meris provides) is non-medical support: personal care, companionship, homemaking, meals, and supervision that help someone live safely at home. Home health care is skilled medical care — nursing and therapy — ordered by a physician, usually after a hospital stay. Many families use both at different times, and our care coordinators can help you understand which your loved one needs.
How much does in-home care cost?
The cost depends on the hours, tasks, and schedule in your care plan. After your free in-home assessment, Meris gives you a written estimate — no surprises, and no care starts until you approve it.
Does Medicare pay for a home health aide?
Only in a limited way. Medicare covers intermittent skilled home health for homebound patients under a doctor's plan, but it does not cover ongoing custodial care — personal care as the only service, homemaker help, or 24-hour care. Most families pay privately or use long-term care insurance, Medicaid programs, or VA benefits. See our Cost & Payment section for details.
How do you screen and train your caregivers?
Meris caregivers are carefully screened and background-checked, trained for the care they provide, and supervised with in-home visits and regular care-plan reviews.
What happens at the free in-home assessment?
A care coordinator visits your home, free and with no obligation. We'll talk through daily routines, mobility, memory and safety concerns, the medication list, meal preferences, budget, and scheduling — and we'll complete a complimentary home safety and fall-risk assessment. You'll receive a written, personalized care plan with tasks, schedule, and costs. It helps to have your loved one present, along with their medical history and medication list.
When does care start — and can we change the schedule?
Once you approve the care plan, we arrange the first visits and confirm the schedule with you. Schedules are flexible: add hours, reduce them, pause for a hospital stay, or switch caregivers if the match isn't right. Just email us — that's exactly what our care coordinators are for.
What if our caregiver can't make a visit?
If a caregiver can't make a visit, we work to arrange another caregiver familiar with the care plan. Consistent matching is a priority, and we will keep you informed if a change is needed.
