Personal care and companionship

In-Home Care in Portland

A helping hand. A familiar place.

EQC’s in-home care is personal care and companion care at home: help with bathing, dressing and grooming, meals, groceries and errands, household tasks, and time together. It supports daily routines rather than clinical care needs.

Questions about in-home care

You don’t need to have every answer before you get in touch.

What if I am unsure which kind of care I need?

Start with the daily activities you would like support with. Our care team can discuss the services to explore.

Is personal care the same as nursing?

They are different services. Personal care supports daily routines; nursing addresses clinical care needs. Ask EQC which service fits your situation.

Can my family help start the conversation?

Yes. Individuals, family members, and professional referral partners can contact EQC to explore care.

How do I check coverage or availability?

Contact EQC about your location and service needs. Confirm any program eligibility, covered support, and authorization with your program contact.
