FAQ's for Healthy Children and Youth Personal Care
If your child resides in South Carolina and qualifies for specialized Medicaid services, our team can help determine whether your child may be eligible to receive personal care services. However, keep in mind that only SCDHHS can make the final determination of eligibility.
Call us at (800) 821-9210 to learn more about our available services and whether your child is a good candidate.
Noonday Home Care also provides exceptional in-home care services to your child through our Healthy Children and Youth Private Duty Care services in South Carolina.
FAQ's for Private Duty Care
Services are available for youth and adults.
In most cases, private duty care is paid for privately, as an out-of-pocket expense. Other payment sources could include long-term care (insurance) policy or authorized VA benefits.
Medicare and Medicaid do not pay for private duty care. Caregiver services provided through Medicaid authorization fall under in-home services. Contact Noonday Home Care & Hospice to learn more about Medicare-paid care options.
Respite care provides temporary relief for a primary family caregiver. The demands of caring for your loved one can be intense, but respite care gives you a much-needed break, whether it’s just for an afternoon or for extended time away. Respite care is vital for family caregivers; it can restore energy, promote balance, and relieve stress.
It’s a common and understandable misconception that “home care,” “in home care”, “private duty care,” “home health care,” and “private duty home health care” are all a single service. However, they’re actually separate services at Phoenix. Home health care includes intermittent visits from skilled nurses and therapists as you recover from an illness, surgery, hospitalization, or injury. Home health requires a doctor’s order. Private duty care is caregiver services that help with daily living that do not require an order from a doctor. Homecare and in home care could be either over those services, if you would like to speak to us about you or your loved one’s specific needs we can help navigate and coordinate the services you or your loved one needs.
You can simultaneously receive home health care and private duty care if you require it. Noonday offers additional options for patients needing a range of services. Learn more about our full continuum of care.
If you want to remain where you’re comfortable rather than transfer to a higher level of care facility, or if you simply need extra support with tasks of daily living, private duty care may be right for you. The patient care experts at Noonday Home Care & Hospice can help you determine which type of care or health services is best for your situation. Call us at (855) 881-7442.

Does Your Loved One Need Assistance to Help Them Stay Independent at Home?
Use This Checklist to Determine If They Need Help
Consider their care needs and make a list of things that need to be provided. Be able to show an example of a usual day, from the moment they wake until they return to bed and be sure to include a timeline of when they have their meals, naps, and other activities.
How much hands-on personal care is needed vs. the non-hands on companion care? If more companion care is needed, make a list of things that the care recipient likes to do.
Do you need someone who can escort the care recipient to their doctor and other social activities? If so, how will they travel? Will the Caregiver drive the care recipient in the care recipient’s car? Will the Caregiver drive the care recipient in the Caregiver’s car? Has the home care agency verified the caregiver’s vehicle insurance is active. Will they take public transportation (bus or taxi cab)? Some cities provide transportation for seniors – you may want to call your local Department on Aging for information.
Is there memory loss? If so, have you had the type of Memory Loss diagnosed (Alzheimer’s Disease, Huntington’s Disease, Pick’s Disease, Frontal Lobe Dementia, Frontotemporal Dementia, Lewy Body Disease, Normal Pressure Hydrocephalus, Vascular Dementia, Parkinson’s Disease)? Blood clots and brain tumors may also cause dementia. A diagnosis of dementia type will help the agency to better understand the care needs and assign a Caregiver with the right type of training and qualifications.
Do you need a Caregiver who speaks a certain language?
How many hours of care per day will you require? Review the list of services you will need performed during the care visit and decide on the minimum number of hours per day which would work as a starting point. The agency will need to know the hours of service to assign a Caregiver and will allow you to adjust the hours after the first week to accurately meet the care needs.
Are there any special cooking requirements? Communicate any food allergies or specific cooking requests and consider how groceries will be purchased or delivered if the care recipient is unable to shop for groceries on their own.
Are there any “skilled” care requirements, such as taking blood pressure, blood sugar testing, wound care or a feeding tube? Communicate if these specialized services will need to be performed or monitored.
What is the care recipient’s method for managing medications? Do you know for sure if the medications are currently being taken correctly? Be able to provide a list of medications and the method of monitoring so the Agency will be aware of possible side effects and other requirements such as taking pills with or without food, etc.
Will Care Management be required? As Caregivers are responsible for providing the “hands-on” care, they do not have time to manage the overall care issues. A trained Care Manager can supervise all of the care needs, from obtaining refills to medications via the local pharmacy, to arranging doctor’s appointments and other necessary services. A Care Manager will work with family members and take on responsibilities which they are unable to perform and provide professional expertise in guiding the long-term care decisions.
