Private Care — Mary Angels Home Care

A dedicated caregiver, on your terms

What is Private Care?

Private care — sometimes called private-duty home care — is privately arranged, one-client support with a caregiver focused solely on your loved one. You choose the caregiver, set the schedule, and decide the level of help, from a few hours a week to full 24/7 live-in coverage — all without the fixed routines or shared staff of a facility.

What Is Private Care?

Private care — also called private-duty home care — is one-on-one support your family arranges directly, delivered by a dedicated caregiver in your loved one's own home. Unlike a facility, where staff are shared across many residents, private care means one caregiver focused on one person. You choose who provides the care, when they come, and exactly what they help with.

At Mary Angels Home Care, private care is non-medical: help with daily living, personal care, companionship, and safety — never clinical treatment. We serve families across Pittsburgh and Allegheny County, from Squirrel Hill and Shadyside to Mt. Lebanon, the North Hills, and beyond.

What Private Care Includes

Every plan is built around your loved one, but private care commonly includes:

  • Personal care — bathing, dressing, grooming, and mobility (see our personal care service)
  • Companionship — conversation, activities, and a watchful, friendly presence
  • Home support — meal preparation, light housekeeping, and laundry
  • Medication reminders and help staying on routine
  • Transportation to appointments, errands, and outings
  • Overnight and 24/7 live-in care when more coverage is needed

Why Families Choose Private Care

Private care gives families control and continuity. You get the same trusted caregiver rather than a rotating roster, a schedule that flexes with your life, and complete discretion. For many families it is the difference between a loved one staying safely and comfortably at home versus moving into a facility.

Private Care Hours & Scheduling

There is no minimum-hour requirement. Some families start with a few hours a few days a week; others need daily help, overnight coverage, or full-time live-in care. As needs change, we adjust — seamlessly.

Getting Started

Every family begins with a free, no-obligation in-home assessment. We learn about your loved one, answer your questions, and match a caregiver we believe is right — and if the fit is not perfect, we will find another at no cost. Call 412-900-9354 or request a free assessment to begin. Curious about pricing first? See our guide to home care costs in Pittsburgh.

Frequently asked questions

What is private care, or private-duty home care?
Private care is one-on-one, non-medical home care that your family arranges directly with an agency, delivered by a dedicated caregiver in your loved one's home. You choose the caregiver, the schedule, and the level of support — from a few hours to full 24/7 live-in care — with the flexibility and discretion a facility can't offer.
How is private care different from regular home care?
The difference is dedication and control. With private care you have a caregiver focused solely on your loved one, the same familiar person rather than a rotating roster, and a schedule tailored entirely to your family — including overnight and live-in options.
Do I get the same caregiver every time?
That's the goal. We carefully match a caregiver to your loved one's personality and needs and keep them consistent for continuity and trust. If the match ever isn't right, we'll find another at no extra cost.
Is private care available overnight or 24/7?
Yes. Private care scales from a few hours a week up to overnight coverage and full 24/7 live-in care. See our 24/7 & live-in care service for continuous, around-the-clock support.
Do you offer private in-home care near me?
We provide private in-home care across Pittsburgh and Allegheny County — Squirrel Hill, Shadyside, Mt. Lebanon, the North Hills, Cranberry, Monroeville, and 20+ more communities. Call 412-900-9354 and we'll confirm availability in your area.
How much does private care cost, and does insurance help?
Cost depends on the hours and level of care. We're transparent about pricing at your free assessment — no surprise fees. Many long-term care insurance policies and Pennsylvania's Community HealthChoices (CHC) Medicaid waiver may help cover in-home care. See our guide to home care costs in Pittsburgh to start.
Is any medical or nursing care included?
No. Mary Angels is a non-medical home care agency. Private care covers personal care, companionship, home support, and safety — not clinical or nursing treatment. If skilled nursing is needed, we can help point you in the right direction.
