What in-home care covers
One-to-one, non-medical support delivered in the home and sized to what the household actually needs rather than to a standard package.
- Bathing, grooming, and dressing
- Meal preparation and feeding assistance
- Medication reminders and oversight
- Mobility support, transfers, and fall prevention
- Light housekeeping and laundry
- Transportation to appointments and errands
- Companionship and safety supervision
- Respite so family caregivers can step away
Who we serve
- Older adults who want to stay at home and need daily support to do it safely
- Adults with physical or developmental disabilities
- People recovering from surgery, stroke, or serious illness
- Adults living with dementia, with caregivers trained accordingly
- Families needing scheduled respite from full-time caregiving
- Patients transitioning home from a hospital or rehabilitation facility
What determines your hours and cost
- 1The assessed level of need. Hands-on assistance requirements across daily activities set the authorized hours. This is the primary variable under every funding route.
- 2The funding source. Home Help, MI Choice, No-Fault auto, workers compensation, VA benefits, long-term care insurance, and private pay all authorize differently and at different levels.
- 3The schedule the household actually needs. Mornings only, split shifts, overnights, or continuous coverage. We build around the real pattern rather than fitting you into a standard block.
Service area
Based in Livonia at 39111 Six Mile Road. We serve Livonia, Farmington Hills, Westland, Garden City, Redford, Plymouth, Canton, Northville, Novi, Wayne, Dearborn, Southfield, Troy, Bloomfield Hills, and surrounding communities across Wayne, Oakland and Macomb counties.
If you are just outside that footprint, call anyway. We will give you a straight answer rather than a maybe, and if we cannot reach you we will usually know who can.
How caregivers are assigned
Our caregivers are employees rather than contractors. We handle hiring, background screening, training, payroll, workers compensation, and liability insurance. You never become an employer and you never carry that exposure.
Assignment is based on care needs, schedule, and personality fit, and we keep the assignment consistent. Rotating strangers through someone’s home defeats most of the point of home care, particularly for clients with dementia where familiarity is doing real clinical work. If the match is not right, tell us and we will change it rather than leave a household uncomfortable.
Starting quickly
In-home care is the fastest of our services to begin. Once funding is verified and a caregiver is matched, most households start within a few days. Where a hospital discharge is driving the timeline, we would rather begin intake before discharge so the first visit lands the day the person gets home rather than a week later.
If the situation is urgent, say so on the first call. We prioritize accordingly and we will tell you honestly if we cannot meet the timeline.
Funding routes
- Michigan Home Help Program through MDHHS
- MI Choice Waiver for higher-need situations
- Habilitation Supports Waiver for adults with intellectual or developmental disabilities
- Michigan No-Fault auto insurance for accident-related need
- Workers compensation for work-related injury
- VA benefits for eligible veterans
- Long-term care insurance
- Private pay
We verify coverage before care begins, at no cost and with no obligation. If a family member is already providing the care, ask about getting paid for it instead of bringing in an agency worker. For a good number of households that is the better answer and we would rather point you there.
What the first visit looks like
The first visit is deliberately unhurried. The caregiver arrives with the care plan already read, but the point of the visit is the household rather than the paperwork: where things are kept, how the person likes to be helped, what the routine actually is, and what they would rather do themselves.
That last point gets overlooked. Good home care preserves as much independence as the person can safely hold, and doing something for someone who could still do it themselves is a loss rather than a service. The care plan sets the boundaries; the first visit works out where they sit in practice.
Typical schedules
Households arrange hours in whatever shape fits, and there is no standard package.
- Morning only. The most common arrangement. Assistance with getting up, washed, dressed, and fed, then the day proceeds independently
- Split shifts. A morning visit and an evening visit, covering the two points of the day when help matters most
- Extended daytime. Where supervision is needed because of falls risk or cognitive change
- Overnight. For households where the nights are the difficult part, which is more often than people expect
- Continuous. Rotating caregivers providing 24-hour coverage
Schedules are adjusted as circumstances change rather than fixed at intake. A household recovering from surgery usually needs more at the start and less later; a progressive condition runs the other way.
In-home care questions
Usually within a few days of the first call once funding is verified and a caregiver is matched. Tell us if the timeline is urgent and we will prioritize accordingly.
No. Caregivers are our employees. We handle background checks, training, payroll, workers compensation, and insurance.
Tell us and we reassign. Fit matters more than most agencies admit, and a mismatch is worth fixing rather than tolerating.
Anywhere from a few hours a week to continuous coverage. The ceiling is set by assessed need and by what the funding source authorizes.
Yes. A significant share of our clients live with cognitive changes and caregivers are trained in dementia-informed practice. Consistency of assignment matters especially here.
Yes, across Wayne, Oakland and Macomb counties. Call and we will confirm whether your address falls inside our service radius.
