Our Simple 4-Step Process
Step 1: Free In-Home Assessment (1–2 days)
Call us at (570) 422-1012 or request an assessment online. One of our care coordinators will visit your home to discuss your needs, health conditions, daily routines, and goals. This consultation is always free and without obligation.
Step 2: Personalized Care Plan Creation (2–3 days)
Our management team develops a detailed care plan tailored to your unique situation. We outline services, visit frequency, caregiver qualifications, and measurable outcomes. Family members review and approve the plan before we proceed.
Step 3: Caregiver Placement & Start of Care (3–5 days)
We carefully match you with a screened, trained personal care aide who fits your needs and preferences. Your caregiver arrives on schedule, and our field supervisor conducts an initial visit to ensure everything runs smoothly.
Step 4: Ongoing Monitoring & Family Updates (Continuous)
We don't just start care and walk away. Our team stays in touch through regular check-ins, progress reports, and care plan adjustments as your needs evolve. You and your family receive consistent communication and have 24/7 access to our management team.
Client Testimonials
Real Stories from Northeast Pennsylvania Families
Heart of Gold are just that GOLDEN. Dave and Trisha are so helpful and informative. Every step of the way they assisted me with my Mom In Law care. Omg if every business worked like this we would have less to worry about. So if you are looking for a company that really cares this is the one. Professional, Caring, Helpful and Communicative yup that's them.
Thank you, Heart of Gold. You are more than an agency to me and my family. Your workers are caring people. I live with a degenerative disease that is slowly tearing me apart. You and your staff always show me the best of care, from washing my body, feeding me, and keeping my surroundings clean, to being a friend when I need one. Thank you, Heart of Gold, for over five years of good service and caring people.
The Heart of Gold caregivers that took care of my mother were truly exceptional. Their loving care and attention enabled my mother to remain living in her home. Whenever I visited, my mother always looked very well cared for and spoke very highly of her caregivers who also became her friends. When I left, I knew she would be safe and that was a big relief for me. When my mother, at age 98, passed away her main care providers attended her funeral. We all hugged and said good-bye. It showed me how blessed my mother was to have been surrounded by such wonderful people.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between personal care and skilled nursing?
Personal care (also called non-medical home care) focuses on activities of daily living like bathing, dressing, meal preparation, and companionship. It does not include medical procedures such as wound care, IV therapy, or injections—those services require a licensed nurse and are considered skilled nursing. Heart of Gold specializes in non-medical personal care, and we can coordinate with home health agencies if you need skilled services.
How much do personal care services cost in East Stroudsburg?
Costs vary based on the level of care, visit frequency, and hours needed. Typical hourly rates for personal care in Northeast Pennsylvania range from $25–$35 per hour. We also offer package pricing for live-in care and extended visits. Many clients use Pennsylvania Medicaid waiver programs to cover costs, and we also accept private pay. Call us at (570) 422-1012 for a free cost estimate tailored to your situation.
How do you screen and train your caregivers?
Every caregiver undergoes a comprehensive background check, reference verification, and skills assessment. We hire only those who share our values of respect, communication, and compassion. Our aides receive ongoing training in fall prevention, dementia care, proper body mechanics, and client communication. We’re fully insured and bonded for your protection.
