Our care is the ordinary, important help that makes a day go well: a warm shower and fresh clothes, a good lunch, a tidy kitchen, a ride to the doctor, and someone to talk to over coffee.
We work around your loved one's routines and the way they like things done. Whether it's a few afternoons a week or care around the clock, the goal is the same: helping them stay safe, comfortable, and themselves at home.

Every family needs something a little different. Most families choose a few of these, and the mix can change over time.
Help in the shower or bath, choosing clothes, brushing hair, shaving, and getting ready for the day. We go at your loved one's pace and give them as much privacy and independence as they'd like, helping only with the parts that have gotten harder.
Planning the week's meals together, shopping for them, and cooking the dishes your loved one actually enjoys, including the family recipes. We follow any diet their doctor has recommended, and we sit down to eat together so no one has to eat alone.
Washing up after meals, changing the bed, keeping the laundry going, taking out the trash, and keeping walkways clear. The house stays comfortable and easy to move around in, and it's done the way your loved one likes it.
Picking up groceries and prescriptions, and getting to the doctor, the hairdresser, church or temple, or lunch with a friend. We can go along to appointments, help keep track of what the doctor said, and make sure they get home safely.
Conversation over coffee, a walk around the block, a game of cards, a favorite show, or help with a hobby. For many people, having someone to talk to and laugh with is the part of the day they look forward to most.

Coming home from the hospital or rehab can be tiring, and the first few weeks matter. We help your loved one settle back in, with meals, getting around the house safely, and rides to follow-up appointments, for as long as the extra help is needed.
For someone living with Alzheimer's, dementia, or memory loss, a calm, familiar person and a steady routine can make each day feel easier. We keep the same caregivers with your family whenever we can, and we follow the rhythms and small comforts that help your loved one feel at ease.
Someone there through the night, to help with getting up safely or simply to be close by, or care around the clock when that's what's needed. Everyone in the house can rest a little easier. [How overnight and 24-hour care is arranged.]
Hospice teams visit at set times, and many families want someone there in between. We offer companionship and personal care that works together with the hospice nurses and staff, so your loved one has a familiar, comforting presence at home.
If you're the one caring for your loved one most days, you need rest too. We can step in for an afternoon, a weekend, or longer, so you can see a doctor, visit friends, travel, or simply sleep, knowing they're in good hands.
Families come to us for all kinds of reasons. Here are a few of the people we care for.

We're there in person and keep you up to date, so you always know how things are going.
We keep things simple, and we shape the care around your family rather than the other way around.
That gives your caregiver time to settle in, get to know your loved one, and help without rushing from one task to the next.
Some families start with a few afternoons a week. Others need overnight or 24-hour care. We can change the schedule as things change.
We put the plan together with you and your loved one. Our registered nurse oversees it, checks in regularly, and updates it when needs change.
Before the first day of care, you and your loved one meet the caregiver we've matched. If it doesn't feel right, just tell us, and we'll find someone who is.
We're a non-skilled home care agency. That means we focus on personal care and everyday support, and our caregivers don't do medical tasks like injections, wound care, or nursing care.
If your loved one needs that kind of care, we're glad to work alongside the home health agency or nurse who provides it. And if you're not sure what kind of help your family needs, we'll gladly talk it through with you.
You don't need to have everything figured out. Choose whichever way feels easiest.
Our office is open Monday to Friday, 9am to 5pm, but you're welcome to call us anytime. If we miss your call, we'll get back to you as soon as we can.
Write to us anytime with a question or a little about your loved one, and we'll get back to you as soon as we can.
