Help at home for the people who used to help you.

About how much help, each week?

What ZIP code is the home in?

The porch light’s on. Call whenever you’re ready.

What we help with

Everyday things, done the way your family does them.

We can help with

  • Company, conversation and someone to notice changes
  • Meals the way they like them
  • Light housekeeping and laundry
  • Rides to appointments, church and the grocery store
  • Help with bathing, dressing and getting around the house
  • Medication reminders

We don’t provide

  • Giving medications or injections
  • Wound care or other nursing tasks
  • Medical advice of any kind

If your parent needs medical care at home, we’ll help you find a home health agency that provides it.

Caregivers

You’ll meet them before the first visit.

We keep each family to the same two or three caregivers, so your parent sees familiar faces.

Questions families ask

Straight answers.

Are you licensed?

It depends on the state, and we’ll be specific. In Kansas, non-medical in-home care agencies must be licensed by the state, and our Kansas license number is listed on every contract. In Missouri, the state does not license private-pay non-medical care, so no agency there can honestly call itself “state-licensed” for this kind of care. On both sides, every caregiver passes a background check before they meet your family, and we carry liability insurance.

Does Medicare pay for this?

Generally, no. Medicare doesn’t cover ongoing non-medical help at home. Many families pay privately. Some long-term care insurance policies help, and veterans and surviving spouses may qualify for VA benefits that can help pay for in-home care. We’re happy to help you look into it.

How fast can you start?

Usually within a week of a home visit. If it’s urgent, tell us when you call.

What if it’s not a good match?

Tell us and we’ll change caregivers, no hard feelings. There’s no long-term contract, and you can change your schedule with a week’s notice.
