Private duty home care in Des Peres — what that means for your family
Private duty means you choose the hours, the help, and the people, and we answer to you, not to an insurance plan. One flat hourly rate, the same nights, weekends and holidays, with no add-ons for how much help is needed or how far we drive. Our Care Pros are competent, professionally trained employees — not contractors. Only 2–3% of applicants make it through our 16-step hiring process; every one is background-checked and trained in our own training labs. A direct line to your Area Care Manager comes with every care plan.

Questions Des Peres families ask us
How fast can you start?
We can meet with your family within hours of your first call, and care can begin the same day or within 24 hours.
What does it cost?
One flat hourly rate, the same nights, weekends and holidays. We give you the number on the first call, not after a visit. There will always be cheaper options. We’re not sure that’s what you want when it comes to your family’s peace of mind. How our pricing works.
Can we start with just a few hours?
Yes. Many Des Peres families start with a few hours a day and add as needs change.
Who will be in my mother’s house?
Our own employees, screened and trained by us — the same faces visit after visit — with an Area Care Manager who knows your family and a Family Room portal where you see every care note. Our Care & Safety Program, powered by Sensi, helps detect concerns in the home between visits, at no added cost.
We’re with another agency and it isn’t working.
Tell us what went wrong. We build the plan around it, and we can usually have a Care Team in place within a day.
