Where the two Susquehannas meet

Sunbury sits on the east bank of the Susquehanna where the West Branch meets the main river, with Shikellamy State Park looking down over the confluence. Elysburg is home to Knoebels, which several generations of families in this county have been going to since 1926. The southern end, around Shamokin, Mount Carmel and Kulpmont, is old coal country with the same steep-stairs housing found across the region. Care here is often about keeping someone connected as much as keeping them safe, because the people who used to check in daily have moved away.

Questions

Asked most often in Northumberland County

Do you serve both ends of the county?
Yes, Milton and Watsontown in the north, Shamokin, Mount Carmel and Kulpmont in the south, and Sunbury in the middle.
Can you help someone who lives alone with no family nearby?
Yes. That is one of the most common reasons families call, and long-distance caregiving support is a named service.
Do you provide overnight or 24 hour care?
Overnight care is available. Round-the-clock arrangements are worked out case by case on the consultation.
Is this covered by Medicare?
Non-medical home care generally is not covered by Medicare. Payment options are covered in the article on paying for home care in Pennsylvania.
Do you have Spanish-speaking caregivers in Northumberland County?
Yes. Golden Hour is a bilingual agency: Judelissa and her caregiver network speak Spanish, and the office answers in English and Spanish at (717) 219-8542. Say so when you call and the assessment, the caregiver match and the updates to your family are all handled in Spanish. The whole site is in Spanish too.
