Home Care for Older Adults

Support at home, on your family's terms.

Our home care service is separate from our IDD and AAW waiver programs. It is built for older adults who want to stay in the home they know, and for the families who help them do it — personal care, companionship, and daily living support arranged around each household.

No waiver enrollment is required to begin home care.

What home care includes

Practical help, matched to the person

Every plan starts with what a person actually needs during the day. Visits can run from a few hours a week to daily coverage, and the mix of tasks is set with the family rather than from a fixed package.

Personal care & daily living

Help with bathing, dressing, grooming, mobility, and meals — paced to the person's own routine, with the same caregiver wherever possible.

Companionship & social engagement

Conversation, shared meals, walks, and accompaniment to appointments, family events, or worship — the everyday contact that keeps a week full.

Memory support at home

Structured routines, cueing, and supervision for older adults living with Alzheimer's or another form of dementia, in familiar surroundings.

Respite for family caregivers

Scheduled or occasional coverage so a spouse or adult child can work, travel, rest, or simply take a day — without the household going unattended.

Wellness & household routines

Medication reminders, hydration and meal routines, light housekeeping, laundry, and help keeping the home safe and orderly.

Errands & transportation

Grocery runs, pharmacy pickups, and rides to medical or social appointments, with a caregiver who stays alongside through the visit.

Getting started

Four steps, no waiver paperwork

Home care begins with a conversation rather than an application. Families who are also applying for a waiver can start here while that process runs.

01

A first conversation

Call or send the contact form. We ask about the person's week — what they manage alone, where help is needed, and what the family is worried about.

02

An in-home visit and a written plan

We walk through the home together, agree on hours, tasks, and preferences, and put the plan in writing before care starts.

03

A caregiver match

We introduce a caregiver whose experience and temperament fit the household, and explain the backup arrangement for days off or illness.

04

Regular check-ins

The plan is reviewed on a schedule and whenever something changes — a hospital stay, a new diagnosis, or a shift in what the family can manage.
