What is Home Care?
In-home care focuses on providing support to family members who need help with the activities of everyday living. Everything from nutrition to bathing to Alzheimer’s and dementia care are services we can provide.
Personalized in-home care can help people age in place safely with dignity and independence. We provide our person-centered “home care” no matter where “home” is. From the family home to senior communities to rehab facilities and beyond, we are able to bring the care aging loved ones need to wherever they call home.
What is Home Care and Is It Right for You?
Not so long ago, a medical crisis often meant sending a senior family member off to a nursing home. Today, even people with chronic illnesses and diseases often continue living at home.
Licensed medical professionals can be sent into the home to deliver therapeutic services, such as post-operative rehabilitation, while our highly trained in-home CAREGiversSM provide all the supportive care a person needs to continue living at home.

Who Can Benefit from In-Home Care?
We believe anyone who needs help to stay safe and healthy in their own home can benefit from home care services. People recently discharged from the hospital may require temporary assistance with cooking, laundry, and transportation. Family members with a cognitive impairment like dementia may benefit from ongoing help with medication reminders, bathing and toileting assistance, or overnight care. In general, if you worry your loved ones cannot safely care for themselves at home anymore—and you have begun to feel the strain as their care needs increase—you and your loved ones may benefit from the in-home care we provide.
Here are some specific signs your loved one may be a candidate for professional caregiving assistance:
- Doesn’t want to cook anymore
- Needs help transitioning from sitting to standing
- Gets up multiple times during the night
- Personal hygiene is declining
- Diagnosed with Alzheimer’s or a related dementia
- Appliances, like stoves and irons, are left on and forgotten
- Housekeeping isn’t kept up like it used to be
- Household bills aren’t being paid
- Medications aren’t being taken on schedule
- Recently lost their spouse, or seems lonely
- Driving is becoming a hazard
- Arthritis has made it difficult to perform simple tasks like buttoning clothes
Home Care Increases Quality of Life at Home
You probably can’t always be there to personally provide care for every member of your family, but we can. Our highly trained CAREGiversSM act as your partner to deliver the care services your family members need to maintain a high quality of life at home. And you enjoy the peace of mind that comes from knowing your loved one is safe, happy, and healthy.
A typical day might look like this:
- Get started with a shower, a hot breakfast, and a reminder to take medications
- Do some dusting while chatting about current events
- Throw in a load of laundry
- Look at photo albums and listen to stories about your family member’s childhood
- Fold clothes and make the bed
- Prepare a nutritious lunch and sit at the table together to enjoy it
- Help your family member go for a walk outdoors to get some fresh air
- Make sure your loved one is tucked safely into bed before leaving — or stay overnight to assist with nighttime toileting or dementia-related behaviors
Services such as mobility assistance, incontinence care, and memory care may also be part of a typical day, depending on your loved one’s unique situation. CAREGiversSM deliver services tailored to your loved one’s care needs.

“We selected Home Instead for in-home care a couple of days a week. They would do basic services like being here for my wife, giving her meals, and they’ll do laundry or cleaning if I want to. They were very helpful that way and explained where things were located.” – J.S.
