Everyday support that keeps older adults safely at home — from a few hours a week to 24-hour and live-in care.

What we provide

  • Bathing, dressing, grooming and toileting support
  • Meal planning and preparation
  • Light housekeeping and laundry
  • Medication reminders
  • Mobility support and safe transfer assistance
  • Transportation to appointments and errands
  • Companionship and supervision
  • Dementia and Alzheimer's support
  • Overnight, 24-hour and live-in care
  • Respite for family caregivers

What we do not provide

We are a non-medical agency. The following require a licensed clinician and are outside our scope:

  • Skilled nursing care
  • Wound care or injections
  • Administering medication, as distinct from reminding
  • Physical, occupational or speech therapy
  • Diagnosis, treatment or any medical advice

If a client needs both, we are glad to work alongside the home health or hospice agency providing the clinical care.

How to make a referral

  1. Call or email us. Tell us what the client needs, where they live and when care would need to begin. We will tell you honestly what we can arrange.
  2. We contact the family. With the family's permission, we reach out directly so you are not left coordinating between us.
  3. Free in-home assessment. We visit at no cost and no obligation to understand routines, safety concerns and what support would genuinely help.
  4. Written care plan and caregiver match. We put together a plan built around the client, match a screened caregiver, and introduce them properly before care begins.

Please do not send client health information by email. Call us and we will take the details securely.

Call us about a client and we will tell you honestly what we can arrange, and how quickly.
