Human Touch Home Care, LTD is a Pennsylvania licensed home care registry of carefully screened Caregivers, serving Philadelphia and surrounding areas since 2005.
We have a large registry of Caregivers built over a nearly 20 year period, many of these Caregivers have been working through HTHC for 10 or more years.
Here are some of the important benefits our Clients receive:
All of our Clients benefit from having access to the carefully screened Caregivers referred through the registry and Caregivers who can ‘fill-in’ when your regular Caregiver needs time off.
You benefit from having an experienced and dedicated professional care-coordinator assigned to you. Your care-coordinator will make the best possible Caregiver referrals to you based on your unique non-medical home care needs. Your care-coordinator refers the Caregivers you like for the hours you need them.
Our multi-step screening process includes an in-depth face-to-face interview with every prospective Caregiver, background checks, initial and annual health screenings, reference checking and initial and annual screening for competence.
All of this is in accordance with the Pennsylvania Department of Health screening requirements for Direct Care Workers. But we don’t stop there.
Being a Caregiver is not an easy job, and requires caring, patient and professional individuals who are dedicated to helping older Americans with Activities of Daily Living. We learn from and are humbled by listening to prospective registrants tell us why they want to care for others.
Your care-coordinator will facilitate communication between you and your Caregivers, and refer a substitute Caregiver if your regular Caregiver needs time off, as long as we are notified in a timely manner. We keep in touch with you periodically to make sure you are happy with your Caregiver schedule, and make any changes you request.
Our 24-hour On-Call Care-Coordinator will be there to assist you with any emergency pertaining to your non-medical home care needs.

excerpt from March 2021 Keeping In Touch Newsletter
Here are the steps all Caregivers should take during the pandemic. Please expect your Caregiver to do the following:
Before arriving at your home each day your Caregiver should use a Covid-19 ‘Daily Symptom Screen.’ Caregivers should call the office and request a sub if they are sick, or experiencing any symptoms listed on the ‘screen’. In other words, expect your Caregiver to stay home if she is sick!
After arriving at your home every day, expect your Caregiver to follow CDC guidelines for infection control:
-Wear a mask at all times in your home
-Wash their hands frequently with soap and water for at least 20 seconds
-Practice social distancing except when giving personal care
-Wear disposable rubber gloves when giving personal care or fixing meals
-Disinfect frequently touched surfaces
Home Care is ‘essential’ and probably more important than ever.
During these days of uncertainty, we at human touch home care, want you to know we are open and waiting to help.
Our referred caregivers help with everyday activities such as bathing, dressing, med reminders, ambulation assistance, grocery shopping , laundry, meal preparation and more.
Our mission continues and we want to help…
Since 2005, human touch home care has never wavered in its commitment to helping our clients remain in the comfort and security of their home. We believed then and we believe now more than ever, that as we age, we are happiest and safest in our own homes.
Call us at 215-233-0676 to see how we can help you.
