What Our Non-Medical Caregiver Services Include

Who Needs Caregiver Services?

At CareMatch at Home, we make finding reliable and compassionate care easy. We connect you directly with vetted local agencies for the exact support your loved one needs — without any cold calling or wasted time.

Companion Care in Boston, MA

Loneliness is a real health risk for older adults living alone in Boston’s neighborhoods. A companion caregiver visits regularly, engages your loved one in conversation, joins them on errands, and keeps daily life moving. Not medical care. Human connection, and for a lot of Boston seniors, it makes all the difference.

Personal Care Services in Boston, MA

Getting dressed, bathing, grooming. These are intimate tasks that feel different when family handles them. A personal care aide provides this support with dignity and consistency, making mornings easier for both your parent and you.

Dementia and Memory Care in Boston, MA

Caring for someone with dementia at home takes a specific kind of patience. A caregiver experienced in memory care provides structure, reduces anxiety, and gives family caregivers real time to rest. CareMatch matches you with caregivers who have hands-on dementia experience, not just a certification.

Respite Care for Boston Families

If you are the primary caregiver for a parent or spouse, you need breaks too. Respite care gives you scheduled time off while a trusted caregiver takes over. A few hours a week, a full day, a weekend. You come back rested. Your loved one was well looked after.

Post-Surgery Home Recovery in Boston

Boston has some of the best hospitals in the world. Mass General, Brigham and Women’s, Beth Israel Deaconess. Patients are often discharged quickly. A post-surgery caregiver helps bridge that gap at home: medication reminders, mobility support, wound observation, and transport to follow-up appointments.

24-Hour and Live-In Care in Boston, MA

Some seniors need someone present through the night or around the clock. Whether a short-term need after a hospitalization or an ongoing arrangement, CareMatch matches Boston families with caregivers available for overnight, 24-hour, or live-in care.

Meal Preparation and Nutrition Support

Eating well gets harder with age, especially living alone. A caregiver can plan and prepare nutritious meals, handle grocery runs, and make sure your loved one is eating regularly. Simple thing, but it changes everything.

Senior Transportation Services in Boston, MA

Getting to a specialist at Mass General or a follow-up at Tufts Medical Center is not easy when you can no longer drive. CareMatch caregivers provide door-to-door transportation with full accompaniment. Not just a ride, but someone who stays through the appointment and calls family after.

Getting Around Boston

Why Boston Families Choose In-Home Caregiver Transportation

Two Max Promise

Boston seniors who can no longer drive face a real logistical gap. The MBTA’s The Ride paratransit has waitlists. Standard rideshares are difficult for anyone with limited mobility or post-surgery restrictions.

A CareMatch caregiver handles the full journey. Picking up at the door, staying through the appointment at any Boston-area medical center, and getting your loved one safely home with a family update after.

For broader elder services in Boston, the Age Strong Commission (the city’s office for older residents) is a strong local resource. For one-on-one caregiver support, CareMatch is the faster path.

Why CareMatch

Why Boston Families Choose CareMatch

Our network of providers offers a full range of in-home support to help Mom or Dad live comfortably and independently.

Your parent stays in their neighborhood

Southie, JP, Charlestown, East Boston. These are communities people build 40 years of life in. In-home care keeps seniors close to the people, places, and routines that actually matter to them.

Two matches in 24-48 hours

If your parent was just discharged from Brigham and Women’s and needs help starting this weekend, we can have two caregiver profiles in your inbox by tomorrow. Not weeks. Hours.

We are not a home care agency

Agencies employ caregivers directly and charge accordingly. CareMatch is a matching service. You get access to a vetted provider network without agency overhead. The matching is always free for families.

The Two Max Promise

We send two matches, not a list of ten names to sort through. Two hand-picked caregivers, both vetted, both suited to your situation. You pick the one that fits. No sorting, no guessing.

Common Questions

Frequently Asked Questions About Home Care in Boston

What is non-medical home care?
Non-medical home care covers companion care, personal care, meal preparation, transportation, and daily support. It does not include medical procedures, skilled nursing, or wound care. For those services, you need a licensed home health agency or visiting nurse service.
You complete a short care assessment. Our team reviews your situation and matches you with two caregivers from our vetted network who fit your Boston neighborhood, schedule, and care needs. The matching takes 24-48 hours.
Yes. CareMatch does not charge families for the matching service. You pay your caregiver directly at a rate you agree on together. No placement fees, no agency markup.

Most families receive two matches within 24-48 hours. If you have an urgent need, for example a parent being discharged from Mass General or BIDMC, call us directly and we will prioritize your case.

Companion care is social engagement, errands, and daily activities. Personal care is hands-on help with bathing, dressing, and grooming. Many families need both, and your caregiver can be matched for a combination of the two.

Yes. We match based on experience, not just availability. If memory care is part of the picture, we note it in your assessment and find caregivers with hands-on dementia experience, not just a certification on paper.

Let us know and we will send a new match. The goal is a long-term relationship between your family and the caregiver, and we want it to work.

MassHealth does cover certain in-home care services depending on program and eligibility. The Age Strong Commission and your local MassHealth office can advise on what applies to your situation. CareMatch caregivers are independent providers, so coverage depends on the specific program your family qualifies for.
