Our services
Nine ways we step into a family’s week
Families usually start with one service and add more as things change. Every plan begins with a free assessment.
Personal Care
Hands-on help with bathing, dressing, grooming, mobility and transfers, so a parent can stay in their own home safely rather than move into a facility.

Most families are not. That is what the free assessment is for. We look at the week you are actually having and tell you what would help.

What it costs and who paysHow we work
The part you cannot see from the driveway
Anyone can promise good care. These are the four checks that make it true on a Tuesday in February.
-
Before anyone is placed
A full background check, and a registered nurse signing off their core skills before the first shift.
-
On every single visit You can check this
Electronic visit verification clocks each caregiver in and out, so you know care happened when it was supposed to.
-
Once care is under way
Ongoing supervision, care plan reviews as needs change, and family check-ins where we ask you straight out how it is going.
-
When a shift cannot be covered
We send a backup caregiver. Your mother is not sitting in a chair at 7am wondering whether anybody is coming.
Locally owned
Owned in Wilson. Answered in Wilson.
