In-Home Care for the Disabled and Elderly
In 2025, the In-Home Care Program entered an exciting new chapter, expanding its services to support both seniors and adults with disabilities. This strategic growth reflects our deep commitment to meeting the evolving needs of our community and ensuring individuals have access to high-quality, compassionate care where they feel most comfortable—at home.
Our program offers flexible service options to meet a variety of financial situations. We provide private-pay in-home care at a rate of $30 per hour, as well as services funded through Medicaid for individuals who qualify. This dual approach allows us to serve a broader population while maintaining the highest standards of care and professionalism.
In-home care services are designed to assist individuals with daily living activities while promoting dignity, independence, and personal choice. Our trained caregivers provide support with tasks such as personal care, meal preparation, light housekeeping, medication reminders, companionship, and mobility assistance. Every care plan is individualized to reflect each client’s unique needs, preferences, and goals.
Our primary mission is to help clients remain safely in their own homes for as long as possible. We believe that maintaining independence is essential to overall well-being. By providing consistent, compassionate support, we empower individuals to preserve their routines, stay connected to their communities, and live with confidence and comfort in familiar surroundings.
At its core, our In-Home Care Program is about partnership, respect, and enhancing quality of life—ensuring that every person we serve can age or live with dignity, stability, and peace of mind.
