Companion care

For a parent who's safe on their own but lonely, or starting to slip on the day-to-day.

  • Conversation, games, puzzles, reading aloud
  • Walks and gentle activity
  • Calls and video chats with family

Personal care

Hands-on help with the private tasks, handled with patience and dignity.

  • Bathing, showering and grooming
  • Dressing and toileting
  • Mobility, transfers and fall prevention

Dementia & memory support

Steady routines and calm redirection for people living with Alzheimer's or other dementias.

  • Consistent caregivers who learn your parent's cues
  • Wandering and home-safety awareness
  • Caregivers with dementia-specific training

Respite for family caregivers

If you're the one doing the caregiving, you need time off too.

  • Regular weekly breaks
  • Coverage while you travel or work
  • Overnight help so you can sleep

Live-in & 24-hour care

When your parent shouldn't be alone at any point in the day.

  • Live-in: one caregiver with sleep and break time
  • 24-hour: awake caregivers in rotating shifts
  • Our RN helps you decide which fits

Hospital-to-home transition

The first weeks home after a hospital or rehab stay are when families need the most help.

  • Ready on discharge day
  • Arranging rides to follow-up appointments
  • Works alongside any home health or therapy visits

Medication reminders

Prompts at the right times so doses aren't missed or doubled. Caregivers remind; they don't administer.

Meals & light housekeeping

Grocery lists, meal prep that follows any diet plan, dishes, laundry, fresh linens and tidying.

Transportation & errands

Doctor's appointments, pharmacy pickups, groceries, church, the hairdresser. We arrange the ride, whether rideshare, a county senior shuttle or medical transport, and your caregiver can come along to help.

Free with onboarding

Home safety assessment

At the first visit, our RN or care coordinator walks through the house with you, room by room, to find ways to reduce common fall risks. We check again at each RN supervisory visit, because needs change.

Cost: free, as part of onboarding

What you receive

  • A written home safety checklist with prioritized recommendations, like "add a grab bar by the toilet" or "move the bedroom to the first floor"
  • Help arranging equipment or a handyman
  • The checklist saved to your parent's Care Binder in the family portal

What we check

Trip hazards
Loose rugs, clutter in walking paths, and cords that cross the floor
Stairs and railings
Sturdy railings on both sides, clear steps, and good light from top to bottom
Lighting
Bright rooms and hallways, switches within easy reach, and night lights
Bathroom
Grab bars, getting in and out of the tub or shower, non-slip mats, toilet height
Bedroom
Bed height, getting in and out of bed, and a clear path to the bathroom at night
Kitchen
Safe stove use, and everyday items within reach without a step stool
Smoke and CO detectors
A working smoke and carbon monoxide detector on every floor of the home
Medication storage
Stored safely and organized so daily reminders are simple to follow
Emergency readiness
Medical info posted for responders, a lockbox if needed, and a family plan
Medical alert device

Temperature and heating
A home that stays warm enough in winter and cool enough in summer
Wandering and exit risks
For a parent with memory loss: door alarms, keys, and car access

We're not occupational therapists or contractors. For a formal home-modification evaluation, we can help you request one from your parent's doctor. An occupational therapy (OT) home safety evaluation is often covered by Medicare when a doctor orders it.

Our care programs

Three care programs, built around your loved one.

Hourly visits

Flexible visit lengths. Good for help with mornings, bathing days, errands, or a few afternoons of company.

Live-in care

One caregiver stays in the home. Best when your parent sleeps through most nights but needs someone close by.

24-hour shift care

Caregivers work awake shifts, so someone is alert all night. Best for frequent nighttime needs.

Explore each program

More than a caregiver

Helping your loved one stay at home, with support for the whole family.

Our goal is simple: help your loved one stay safely in the home they love, for as long as possible. That takes more than the hours a caregiver is in the house, so we help with the rest, too.

  • Free care coaching call

    Talk with our care team about what's going on, what kind of help fits, and what to do first, even if you're not ready to start care.

  • A written care plan

    Our RN writes a plan around your parent's health, routines and preferences, and updates it as needs change.

  • Home safety planning

    A free home safety check when care begins, with a prioritized checklist like grab bars, lighting and fall risks.

  • Connections to local resources

    We point you to the right community help: county senior services, meal programs, adult day programs, transportation and caregiver support groups.

  • Help after a hospital stay

    Coming home from the hospital or rehab? We help you plan the first days home so nothing falls through the cracks.

  • A Care Binder that keeps track

    Appointments, medications, equipment and supplies, and key contacts, all in one place your family can see.

  • Updates you don't have to chase

    Visit notes, text updates and a family portal, so siblings near and far stay in the loop.

  • Long-term care insurance help

    We provide the care notes and invoices your parent's policy asks for, so claims are easier to file.

We provide non-medical care and practical guidance. We don't give medical, legal or financial advice, but we can help point you to the people who do.

Questions about care

Is end-of-life support the same as hospice?

No. Hospice is a medical service focused on comfort and symptom management, and hospice staff usually visit rather than stay. Our caregivers provide non-medical, hands-on support at home, so many families use both: hospice for medical oversight, and our team for day-to-day care between visits.

Do you work with my parent's hospice or home health team?

Yes. With your family's permission, we coordinate with your loved one's hospice, home health agency or doctor's office, so everyone is working from the same plan.

Do your caregivers provide medical care?

No. We're a non-medical home care agency. Our RN writes and supervises each care plan, but caregivers don't give medications or perform medical tasks. If your parent needs medical care at home, we'll help you connect with the right provider.

What if my parent's needs change?

Care needs can change quickly, especially after a hospital stay or near the end of life. Our care team will work with you to adjust the plan and schedule, whether that means adding overnight support, more frequent visits, or new routines.

Not sure which services fit? Our care team will help you figure it out.

The care call is free and there's no obligation.
