What are you looking for?

🤝 Care Rooted in Relationships
At Home Instead, we believe care is about more than completing tasks. It is about building genuine relationships that bring comfort, companionship, and dignity into every day. This approach is echoed by our Care Pros, many of whom have personal connections to caregiving. Ashley M. shared that she loves helping clients maintain independence “even in the smallest ways” and cherishes the moments they can simply chat, watch a favorite show, or walk the dog together.
These everyday moments, combined with attentive care, create the foundation for trust. When you choose us, your family will know that your loved one is not only cared for physically but also emotionally supported.
📍 A Community of Compassion
Our service area spans vibrant neighborhoods, small towns, and close-knit communities. From Auburn Hills and Clarkston to Rochester Hills, Keego Harbor, Lake Orion, Oakland Township, and West Bloomfield, our Care Pros know the local streets, favorite community spots, and resources seniors rely on. We also serve White Lake, Holly, Independence Township, and more, so no matter where in Oakland County your loved one lives, you can access consistent, high-quality care.
Living and working in the same communities as our clients gives us a deeper understanding of their needs. For example, a stroll through Rochester’s scenic downtown or a visit to the Waterford Senior Center can brighten a client’s day while encouraging safe activity and social connection.


Personalized Care for Every Need
Every senior has a unique set of needs, preferences, and routines. That is why we design each care plan individually. Services may include assistance with bathing and grooming, meal preparation, medication reminders, light housekeeping, mobility support, or specialized care for conditions like dementia. Families looking for home care in Detroit can trust that their plan will adapt as needs change.
Tracy Hunter, a recent client, described her experience after returning home from months in rehabilitation:
“Home Instead has been a life saver… they have made sure all my days were covered, checked in on how I was doing, and made sure my care person was a good fit for me. I recommend them to anyone needing home care at home.”
This kind of attentive support ensures not only safety and comfort, but also peace of mind for both seniors and their families.
The Heart of Our Team: Care Pros
Our Care Pros are carefully selected, trained, and supported to deliver exceptional service. Many are drawn to this work because of personal experiences, such as caring for a family member, or a lifelong passion for helping others.
Tahea W. says she loves “making a difference in their life” while Annette O. values “the joy on their face and the trust and appreciation in their eyes.” Kyra W. describes the work as a chance to enhance clients’ quality of life, building meaningful relationships along the way. These perspectives highlight what makes our team unique, a true commitment to dignity, compassion, and reliability.
We also make sure our Care Pros have the tools and training to adapt to complex needs, from post-surgical recovery to long-term dementia care. This means families can count on the same dependable level of service whether they need short-term assistance or ongoing support.
Local Resources and Partnerships
We are proud to be part of the Detroit metro community and work alongside local organizations that share our mission of helping older adults thrive. Families may find valuable information through Oakland County Senior Services or the City of Rochester’s senior resources. By staying connected to these networks, we can help our clients access more than just in-home care, we connect them to a web of community support.
