Everyone needs a little help sometimes. Whether you’re transitioning from hospital/rehab to home, need a nurse at your side, or just a little extra help with daily activities, we’re here for you.
Assistance in activities of daily living is perfect for someone who simply needs a little extra help with daily activities. You don’t need a full-time nurse, but having someone by your side is priceless. If a family member has been filling this role, it can be a huge relief.
End Of Life
So often we see the end of life as the worst thing possible, but it doesn’t have to be. How would you like to live out your last days?
We believe that everyone deserves to live out their last years, months, weeks or days with dignity and grace. While it’s something we never want to face, when it’s here, we want to make the most of it.
Companionship
Loneliness among the elderly can lead to depression, anxiety, and higher chances of malnutrition. You may notice that cleaning and dusting go by the wayside, or perhaps they forget to eat or take their medication.
Someone who has lived a full life has stories to tell, laughter, and sweet memories to share. Having someone there to spend time with, listen to them and have meaningful conversation can make all the difference in the world.
Dementia and Alzheimer's Disease Care
We know what you’re going through. What many don’t realize is that it doesn’t just affect the patient… it’s happening to their whole family.
It can be hard to know what to do for someone you love who is going through this.
Many of those who need the care don’t receive it.
We’re here for you. We can help.
Respite Care
For many family caregivers, the challenges of caring for an elderly, chronically ill, or disabled family member are simply a part of daily life.
You’ve got your home and work life, and your caregiving life, which can seem to take over everything else. Caregiving is a demanding job, which no one is equipped to do alone.
Sometimes you need a break, or a little help beyond what you’re able to provide. Respite care provides that short-term relief for primary caregivers. It can be arranged for just an afternoon or for several days or weeks.
Driving and Escort
Getting around can be difficult after hospitalization, injury, or simply as we get older. Even if you can get a ride, many find that getting in and out of the vehicle, getting around a store or even going to the bathroom can cause anxiety about going out.
Difficulty getting around shouldn’t prevent anyone from doing the things they want or need to do.
Unfortunately, without better options, many just stay home, or severely limit the number of things they allow themselves to do. No one should have to dread basic errands or simple pleasures like going to visit friends.
In Assisted Living Facilities
Assisted living can be a perfect solution for some, but what if you need just a little extra help?
Assisted Living does not have the staffing to provide 1:1 assistance, but you can have the best of both worlds by bringing in a Caregiver to help.
Transitioning from Rehab/Hospital to Home
Going right back to the hospital or rehab facility after coming home is a frightening thought. Unfortunately, it’s not only scary, it’s also very common. Why?
Often when returning home, a patient may have less strength, or they may need additional care or therapy before they’re ready to be on their own again.
Special Care Situations
While we’ve taken time to discuss some of the more common issues and reasons people seek In-Home Care, we recognize that there are many other reasons someone may need In-Home Care.
Please understand that in our decades of combined experience, we’ve really encountered and helped people through and with almost everything out there.

Wound Care
Not all wounds are avoidable. If you or a loved one find yourself dealing with these, it is critical that they are dealt with immediately.
These types of wounds are not only painful, they can lead to worse conditions, including: Fever, lockjaw, necrotizing fasciitis, sepsis or loss of a limb. Timely and effective care is essential.
Blood Pressure Management
As you know may know, high blood pressure can lead to heart failure, heart attacks, and is the leading cause of stroke (and the most significant controllable risk factor).
Blood pressure can change rather quickly due to issues with food and water intake, lack of sleep, undermanaged pain, changes in medication, or even stress and loneliness. Knowing what your baseline is, as well as quickly noticing and responding to changes can prevent dangerous situations and increase the overall quality of life.
Medication Schedule, Setup & Maintenance
Your loved one’s health or life may rely on taking prescribed medications.
What happens when Mom starts forgetting those medications, or sometimes worse, forgetting she took them and taking multiple doses? Changes in medication can also make the problem worse. Depending on the medication, missing doses or taking too much could result in confusion, dizziness (and falls), serious medical conditions or even death.
Medication Administration
Even with excellent scheduling, medication often gets forgotten. Some medications can also be difficult to administer to yourself or your loved one correctly.
Regardless of the type of medication (liquid, capsules, suppositories, inhalants, drops, etc.) and route of administration (oral, IV, intramuscular, topical, etc.) our compassionate nursing staff have the expertise and experience to help ensure that medications are given correctly.
Diabetes Mellitus Management
Diabetes can lead to serious complications like heart disease, stroke, brain damage, kidney disease, or loss of limbs. As we age, it can become more difficult to manage due to memory issues and other factors.
Having someone assist with monitoring blood sugar, medication and nutrition can help eliminate the negative outcomes above, keeping you or your family member in great health and improving their long term quality of life.
Catheter Insertions & Maintenance
Not all wounds are avoidable. If you or a loved one find yourself dealing with these, it is critical that they are dealt with immediately.
These types of wounds are not only painful, they can lead to worse conditions, including: Fever, lockjaw, necrotizing fasciitis, sepsis or loss of a limb. Timely and effective care is essential.
Tracheostomy Care
Excellent tracheostomy care is complex, yet extremely vital to avoid health complications.
Beyond breathing issues, inadequate care can result in infections, bleeding from the trach, irregular heart rate. The skin around the trach tube also requires special care. Home tracheostomy care can be extremely difficult for the individual or family caregiver to stomach.
Colostomy Care
Proper Colostomy Care is vital to avoid complications such as bleeding, swelling, leakage around the stoma, fever, and infection.
Home care can be quite difficult for the individual or family caregiver to stomach.
Our compassionate and experienced nursing staff have been there: we can take the burden off of the family to assist.
Advanced In-Home Equipment
Advanced in-home medical equipment can be difficult or daunting to operate. Whether it’s a heart monitor, pulse oximeter (to track oxygen), a lift chair, etc., the basic operation may be straightforward, but what if adjustments need to be made, or something goes wrong?
You may decide that you want or need a trained professional to operate the equipment, help make adjustments, and ensure that it’s clean and running properly.
