On January 8, 2025, Help at Home, a prominent name in the field of in-home, person-centered care, announced its strategic acquisition of three well-established home care providers in the Northeast: Penn Highlands Personal Care Services (PHPCS), Affordable Home Care in Pennsylvania, and Total Care Home Health in Delaware. This move reflects the company's ongoing commitment to not only grow its footprint but also meet the rising demand for in-home personal care services as more individuals choose to age in place within their familiar surroundings.
This latest expansion is part of Help at Home's broader strategy focused on delivering high-quality, compassionate care, which has become increasingly vital as more seniors seek suitable support options that allow them to maintain independence. Each of the newly acquired organizations operates in key areas in Pennsylvania and Delaware, extending Help at Home's reach to communities such as Clarion, Bedford, Huntingdon, Elk, Jefferson, Mckean, Clearfield, Armstrong, Erie, and Wilmington.
Josh Drebes, a Regional Leader at Help at Home, expressed enthusiasm about the integration of these new clients and payer partners, stating, "We are excited to welcome clients and payer partners of Penn Highlands Personal Care Services, Affordable Home Care, and Total Care Home Health to Help at Home. Each of these organizations shares our core values of delivering services with a focus on caring, compassion, respect, and dignity. We look forward to serving more individuals in need of care throughout our Pennsylvania and Delaware communities."
With these acquisitions, Help at Home further establishes itself as a formidable player in the home care sector, especially within the non-medical home care domain. The company is recognized for its distinctive value-based care capabilities, making it a partner of choice for payers. This emphasis on longevity and quality of care is crucial for supporting seniors and other populations with complex chronic needs, including those eligible for both Medicare and Medicaid.
Help at Home is committed to ensuring a smooth transition for clients from their previous caregivers to the Help at Home team. This transition is designed so clients can continue enjoying Great Days and Meaningful Moments in the comfort of their homes, which many still regard as the preferred setting for care.
Founded in 1975 and headquartered in Chicago, Illinois, Help at Home has amassed nearly five decades of experience in offering innovative home care services. The company boasts over 180 branch locations across 11 states, catering to approximately 68,000 clients supported by more than 59,000 compassionate and thoroughly trained caregivers. This substantial growth underscores Help at Home's mission to provide exceptional care and support for a broad range of client needs across the country.
The newly acquired organizations—which historically have operated within Pennsylvania and Delaware—will contribute to Help at Home's objective to enhance the quality of services provided to older adults, ensuring that they continue to receive the care they deserve as they navigate life's later stages.
