Frequently asked questions
How do I find a caregiver in Austin?
Open our marketplace at /find-care, allow location access, and you'll see caregivers sorted by distance. Watch their intro videos, read their specialties, and tap "Are you available?" to connect directly.
Are the caregivers background checked?
Every caregiver who completes our Onboarding Concierge process passes a state-compliant background check, Live Scan fingerprinting, TB test, and reference check. Look for the "Verified by MHH" badge on their profile.
What's the difference between companion care and personal care?
Companion care includes non-medical help like meal prep, light housekeeping, transportation, and socialization. Personal care adds hands-on help with bathing, dressing, toileting, and medication reminders. Skilled nursing adds clinical tasks (wound care, IV, complex medication) and requires an RN or LVN.
Does Medicare or Medi-Cal pay for home care in Austin?
Medicare generally does NOT pay for non-medical home care. Medi-Cal may cover in-home care through the IHSS program for eligible low-income seniors. Long-term care insurance and VA benefits are other common payment sources. We can help you understand your options.
How quickly can care start?
For urgent cases in Austin, we can often match you with an available caregiver within 24 hours. Longer-term arrangements typically start within 3-7 days to allow for a proper assessment and care plan.
