Who we help
What brings you here?
Most families contact us because something at home has changed. Choose what sounds closest to your situation.
Getting started
Care begins with a conversation.
You don’t need to have every answer before contacting Harbor.
Talk with us
Tell us what has changed at home. We discuss your needs, scheduling, service area and ways to pay.
Nurse care planning
A Harbor registered nurse visits your home and develops a written care plan around your needs and preferences.
Begin care
Once planning, payment and caregiver availability are confirmed, we introduce your caregiver and check in as care begins.
Before care starts, private-pay arrangements are confirmed in writing. Cardinal Care services require approval from your health plan; long-term care insurance depends on your policy.
Private pay
You pay Harbor directly. We explain rates, scheduling and terms in writing before care begins.
Long-term care insurance
Many policies cover non-medical help at home. We'll help you understand what your insurer needs.
Cardinal Care health plans
For members of Virginia's CCC Plus Waiver, services are approved by your health plan before they begin.
Private pay, long-term care insurance and these health plans
Plan participation doesn't guarantee coverage for a specific person, service or number of hours. We'll help you check.
