In home care services for seniors and others

Many clients come to us with the feeling of being pulled in too many directions due to career demands, caring for their children and caring for their aging loved ones.  Our services are specifically designed to alleviate some of that burden. We work collaboratively and cooperatively with family members and health care providers to meet each client's needs in the best possible way for the well-being of the individual being served.

Many other clients are spouses or family members of individuals with memory care concerns or disabilities who need some time away from home and/or regular breaks from responsibilities with caregiving. Our companions can provide the care your loved one needs so you can have worry free time away from home.

Our Services are provided in the Home or at a Facility

Our services are non-medical. They are personalized for each individual we serve. Our clients include seniors who need some help to remain comfortably in their homes or those who need companionship in a hospital or nursing home setting. Services may be long term or short term in nature to support those who are injured or recovering from surgery while help around the house is needed. We promote independence through professional compassionate care and a respectful flexible approach services to all of the individuals we serve. We provide services to individuals in a hospital, rehabilitation facility or nursing home setting, wherever home happens to be. We are there when you can't be.
