Providing exceptional home health care in Allentown and surrounding areas
Extended Family Care provides home care in Easton, PA for older adults, adults living with a chronic condition or disability, and the families who look after them. The help can be a few hours of companionship, a hand with bathing and dressing, 24-hour care, or skilled nursing at home, and each plan is built around the person receiving it. Getting started is easy: request your Free Assessment, and our staff will reach out to answer your questions.
Home care lets your loved one stay in the house they know, with the right help coming to them. We care for older adults across Easton who want to keep living at home, for adults living with a chronic condition or a disability, and for families who could use some support with a loved one's care.
Our in-home care in Easton, PA covers both kinds of help a family may need. Non-medical home care is the everyday part: a caregiver helps with meals, light housekeeping, bathing, dressing and getting around the house safely, and keeps your loved one company along the way. Skilled care covers medical needs at home, and it's provided by our Licensed Practical Nurses and Registered Nurses.
How much help your family gets is up to you. Some people need a caregiver for just a few hours a day or a few days a week. Others need someone in the home around the clock, day and night, for safety, security and peace of mind.
Every plan starts with a free assessment. We then work closely with you to build a personal care plan around your loved one's needs, their routines and your budget. The plan can change as their needs change, after a hospital stay or just over time, and we adjust the care at home to match.
Our senior home care in Easton, PA runs from friendly visits all the way to skilled nursing, and plenty of families use more than one service as needs grow. Each service has its own page with more detail, so take your time with the ones that fit your family.
Plenty of families aren't sure which service fits on day one, and that's perfectly fine. Sorting it out is part of the free assessment, and you can ask for yours on our Contact Us page whenever you're ready.
Many Easton families first start thinking about home care during a hospital stay. Two St. Luke's hospitals serve the area: the Easton Campus on South 21st Street, a 164-bed community hospital, and the Anderson Campus on St. Luke's Boulevard, which opened in 2011.
Coming home is good news, and it can also be a lot to handle all at once. Our help with the move from hospital to home puts support in place for your loved one's first days back. A caregiver can help them settle in, keep up with meals, medication reminders and daily routines, and get to follow-up appointments.
Home health care in Easton, PA can go further when the discharge plan calls for it. Our nurses can visit for wound care or IV infusions, and a therapist can bring physical, occupational or speech therapy right to the house, which saves your loved one the trip to a clinic while they're still getting their strength back.
Easton's houses carry a lot of history. Close to two out of three homes in the city were built in 1939 or earlier, and older houses often come with steep stairs, narrow hallways and a bathroom up on the second floor. Those are the places where a steady hand makes daily life a lot easier.
Many older neighbors here are also managing on their own. About one in three Easton residents 65 and older lives with a disability, and in more than a third of local households with someone 65 or older, that person lives alone.
Elderly care in Easton, PA often starts with those everyday needs. A caregiver can help with bathing and dressing, getting up and down the stairs, and moving safely from room to room. Companionship gives someone who is alone much of the day a friendly face, good conversation and a person who notices how they're doing. Our 24-hour care can keep someone in the home around the clock once being alone is no longer safe.
Cost is often the first question families ask, and it's a fair one. The cost of home care depends on the type of care, how often visits happen and the level of care needed. Our services can be paid for through private pay, long-term care insurance, veterans' benefits or Medicaid, and some people are also eligible for Medicare coverage. We help you work through payment as we set up the care plan, and we shape that plan around both your loved one's needs and your budget.
Easton residents can also lean on the Northampton County Area Agency on Aging. Its OPTIONS Program covers in-home services, care management, in-home meals and personal care, and its PA MEDI program offers free Medicare counseling. Medicare Open Enrollment runs October 15 to December 7, 2026, a good window for that conversation.
Home care fits right in with the rest of your loved one's week, and Easton has some good places to help fill it.
Silver Connections at the Easton Area Community Center, 901 Washington Street, is open 9:00 am to 1:00 pm on Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays. The Park Plaza Senior Community Center, at 1800 Sullivan Trail in Forks Township, is open 7:30 am to 3:30 pm. Both centers post their activities and a lunch menu, which makes it easy to plan a visit ahead of time.
The Northampton County Area Agency on Aging is there for family caregivers, too. Its Caregiver Support program offers reimbursement for respite, supplies and home modifications, and a caregiver support group meets on the first Thursday of each month at the Human Services Building, 2801 Emrick Blvd in Bethlehem. The agency also runs OPTIONS and PA MEDI, and it completes the functional eligibility assessments for in-home waiver programs.
Getting there is part of what our caregivers help with. They assist with transportation to medical appointments and keep your loved one company on social outings, so a lunch at Silver Connections or a doctor's visit doesn't have to wait on a family member's free afternoon.

Every client gets a personal plan, shaped by the free assessment and adjusted as needs change. That's true whether your loved one needs a few hours of companionship each week or round-the-clock care at home.
