Gilgal is licensed in Pennsylvania as both a home care agency and a home care registry, so we can offer either arrangement and help you choose the one that fits.
Go straight to Gilgal Care Team or Family-Led Care, or send a request and we will get back to you the same business day.
Non-medical support at any age. We do not provide skilled nursing, therapy, or medication administration.
The caregiver is our employee. We clear, train, supervise, and pay them, and we carry the payroll taxes, workers' compensation, and liability coverage.

Three hours per visit, nine hours per week at any level of care.
We set your level of care with you at the assessment, and you get the rate in writing before anything is booked. There is no setup fee and no placement charge.
Holiday rates, the advance payment, and cancellation terms are in your service agreement, and we go over them before you sign.
Support during cancer care is not automatically specialized. We work out the level with you.
A home safety walkthrough and support after a hospital stay are included. See what comes with care.
We refer cleared independent contractors from our registry, and you choose who you want. We handle the clearances, references, competency checks, and Chapter 611 paperwork. Gilgal does not set or collect the caregiver's rate.
The daily fee applies only on days your caregiver works. Visit lengths and hours are set between you and the caregiver.
You pay the caregiver directly, so the schedule, backup coverage when they're out, and any tax reporting sit with you. We'll share what we know and point you to a tax professional for the rest. If that's more than you want to manage, the agency is simpler.
Family-Led Care is our name for the registry model. It is private pay and is not a Medicaid program.
