Ongoing Care
Ongoing in-home care is a great option if your senior parent needs help long-term or for an indeterminate amount of time - even if it’s just for a few days a week. There are a variety of situations that require ongoing care, but it’s most commonly needed when your loved one is no longer able to perform the activities of daily living (ADLs) due to general aging or a specific condition like dementia or arthritis (check out our specialty programs). Ongoing care might also be the right choice if your parent is recovering from a medical procedure with a long or complicated recovery process. A caregiver can assist your senior parent with ADLs, but that’s just part of what they do.
What can a caregiver help with?
A professional caregiver can provide the following:
Companionship
Socialization and social activities
Meal planning and preparation
Incidental transportation and errand running
Laundry and light housekeeping tasks
Medication reminders
Personal care support (bathing and grooming)
Incontinence care
Assistance with pet care
When and how often is care available?
We pride ourselves on offering flexible solutions. You can choose to have a caregiver come to the home during the day (from 1-7 days per week), stay overnight, or live-in. We also offer 24/7 awake live-in care if your parent needs constant monitoring. You don’t have to stick to just one type of care – we can help you create a custom plan that meets your needs.
Rates will vary depending on which type of care you choose, and in some cases, where you are located. We do require a deposit to begin service, which is discussed during the discovery call and assessment process. Give us a call and we'd be happy to send you our rate sheet.

What is the commitment required?
We don’t require long-term commitments so we can work with you as your situation evolves. Rest assured that if things change, we will do our very best to accommodate you and your family.
What if I just need temporary help?
