Eldercare Services

Home Instead Senior Care enables the elderly to live independently. It's at home where their quality of life is enhanced without the stress of interrupted routines and changes in daily habits, and companionship is as important as health care when it enables seniors to remain independent and in their homes.

Services are performed by over 27,000 employees nationwide called CAREGivers. Each one of these individuals is bonded, insured, covered by worker's compensation and has successfully passed a complete criminal background check. Their training includes a specialized non-medical eldercare curriculum exclusive to Home Instead Senior Care.

Services can be arranged for a few hours a week or as many as 24 hours a day. Short term respite relief or longer term care is available seven days-a-week, including holidays.

While Home Instead Senior Care cannot replace the love and support of an elderly person's family, our CAREGivers provide these helpful and necessary services that reduce the difficult, time-consuming and often stressful aspects of family caregiving:
