Yes. Homecare is a great alternative to traditional senior living options. However, it is not a good fit for every situation. We use our expertise to evaluate each situation and determine if we can provide quality care safely and effectively. If we cannot meet these criteria, we’ll tell you and suggest other options.
Everyone wants to stay home, but this may not be practicable due to the cost or intensive nursing needs. Don't worry, we have a solution!

Yes. 24-hour care and Live-In care are our specialties. Our Care Managers, educated caregivers, and superior communication system makes us better able to handle complex medical issues and live-in care.
Yes. To complement our homecare services, we also provide Home Health, which includes nursing. Our registered nurses deliver nurse delegation and medication management. They fill medisets, provide RN care management, and make nurse visits to help manage chronic conditions. You can plug in anywhere along the continuum and rest assured that you have a plan to stay home.
We serve King, Pierce, and Snohomish Counties. Our office is located in Kirkland, Washington.
No, we are not. Matthew Long, our founder, is a Husky (both undergrad and graduate schools), we like to hire Huskies, and we have a formal giving arrangement with UW.
Yes. Most LTC policies include homecare coverage. We will help you understand your policy and administer it. Mostly this involves ensuring the insurance company gets timely reports.
Each care plan is unique. For this reason, we ask that you call for rates. Click here to learn more about our services. Please note that we do not accept Medicaid.
For urgent situations, we can have a Plan of Care in place and a caregiver lined up within 24 hours. For less urgent scenarios, we use a two-week timeline that allows everyone more time to make decisions and create an optimal plan.
The first things that will happen with a private caregiver is they won't show up! Husky Senior Care provides a multi-layered plan to ensure success. We manage the necessary paperwork and tracking (licensing, tax reporting, insurance, recordkeeping, etc.) that would otherwise be your responsibility. The peace of mind you have with Husky Senior Care is superior to what you would have with a private caregiver.
It depends on your schedule. We will use the fewest caregivers possible. We know that the relationship you develop with each caregiver requires consistency. One of our mottos is that "turnover is the enemy of quality care".
No. We do request a 48 -hour notice for minor schedule changes and two weeks’ notice to cancel service.
We do not have shift limits. We only ask for a regular weekly schedule.
We work with you to craft your own Plan of Care. This is translated into a task checklist for the Personal Assistant. We monitor the work to make sure your caregiver is following this plan.
We accept payment through electronic checking (ACH) drafts from your bank account. It is free, easy, and efficient. We can also work with you on other funding methods, including Long Term Care Insurance.
We offer overnight shifts in which a caregiver will stay overnight and respond to your needs.
Yes. Wherever you call home, that’s where we serve you. Approximately one half of our customers live in senior living communities.
Homecare offers the opportunity to remain in your home safely with regular assistance by professional caregivers and other staff. It alleviates the care challenges for families who wish to honor a loved one’s request to stay at home.
Home care schedules are as varied as the people we serve. Each is designed to keep the client in their home environment. From a simple bath assist visit, to housekeeping and laundry, to shopping and cooking, to transportation, to medication assistance, or full live-in care, our comprehensive offerings ensure each senior’s needs can be met.

Keeping our clients and caregivers safe is our primary concern. We have a strict three-step COVID protocol that we used in the past and will use if needed in the future:
- Caregivers undergo a formal temperature and symptom check before each shift.
- Caregivers abide by strict PPE rules when in the home, wearing masks, gloves, and frequently washing hands.
- We track outside exposures of clients and caregivers. Caregivers will quarantine for 14 days if they experience an exposure.
Thus far, NO client COVID infections have been traced to our care.
Home is the safest place to be during COVID. Your risk of exposure falls dramatically when you are at home because of the smaller number of interpersonal interactions. Larger facilities can’t regulate these interactions as well as you can at home.
