- ✓People who need a prompt to take medication or eat properly

Drop-In Care vs Regular Home Care Visits
Drop-in care is the lightest form of home care: short visits for a specific purpose, often a few times a week. Regular home care visits follow a fuller care plan and usually include personal care at set times every day. Many people start with drop-in visits and add more support later, and we can move between the two without changing your care team.
