What is in-home non-medical care
As we age or experience medical issues, there might come a time when we aren't able to take care of ourselves on our own. The main goal of in-home, non-medical care is to provide services that allow you to stay at home instead of being cared for at a facility. Health issues, finances, and your well being are determining factors when it comes to making these decisions. If non-medical home care is right for you, it gives you the comfort of being in your normal surroundings. It gives you flexibility on when you need care. It allows you to be in control and keep your independence.

In addition, each Caregiver completes a company-based training program before his or her first assignment. We offer incentive-based STNA recertification for our employees. 
what is a care plan
A Care Plan is a created by the client, the client's family, and the managing director. It outlines the specific needs for each client. The Caregiver follows this plan to ensure all needs are met. Any changes in a client's condition will be brought to the attention of the managing director and the family so the Care Plan can be updated if needed. 
what is included in the free home assessment
The free home assessment is conducted by the managing director and the client services director. We will come to your home to speak with you about your needs and how we can best help you. At the end of our meeting, we will have a customized plan put together, which will then be reviewed by the caregiver assigned to you. Together, we will all be on the same team to meet all your needs.
