Home Care on Cape Cod, From Bourne to Provincetown

MF Family Home Care provides home care on Cape Cod for older adults who want to stay in their own house. We are based in West Yarmouth, ten minutes from Hyannis, and we have caregivers across Barnstable County.

What we do in the house

More than a third of Barnstable County is over sixty-five — one of the oldest populations in the country. That means the pressure on families here is not unusual, it is the norm. It also means the good caregivers are in demand, and agencies that cannot staff a schedule will quietly leave you with gaps.

Personal care

— bathing, dressing, grooming, help getting out of bed and moving safely between rooms.

Companionship

— conversation, errands, a walk down to the beach, someone who notices what has changed since last week.

Homemaking

— light housekeeping, laundry, shopping, meals cooked at home.

24-hour and live-in care

— for a parent who should not be alone overnight, whether after a fall or during a longer decline.

Respite care

— for the family member who is currently doing everything.

Dementia and Alzheimer's support

— familiar routines, patient redirection, and consistency in who walks through the door.

How families usually begin

One call, a free visit at home, and a written plan you can change. Most families begin smaller than they expect.

A phone call

Tell us what happened and what a normal day looks like now compared with six months ago.

A visit, at no cost

We come to the house and look at the stairs, the bathroom, the kitchen, and the hours when nobody is around.

A written plan you can change

Most families start smaller than they expect and adjust within the first month. That is normal and we build for it.

Frequently asked questions

The questions families ask us most, answered plainly.

How fast can someone start?

Frequently within a few days. We answer the phone nights and weekends, because hospital discharges do not wait for business hours.

Yes, through Provincetown. Call and tell us the town and the hours, and we will be straight with you about what we can staff.

Year-round. The off-season is when Cape families need us most, and it is when seasonal agencies thin out.

We build the schedule around the household rather than a fixed block. Tell us the hours that are hard.

We accept long-term care insurance, which frequently covers exactly this kind of care. Some veterans and surviving spouses also qualify for VA benefits toward it. We are not a Medicare provider. Bring us the policy and we will go through it with you.

That is the most common call we get. It usually works to start very small — two hours, one task, the same caregiver every time — and let trust build through repetition rather than argument.
