Maybe it’s little things—like your loved one skipping meals, missing appointments, or becoming more forgetful. Or maybe it’s something bigger, like a recent hospital stay or a noticeable decline in mobility.

At Home Instead Rochester, we’ve helped thousands of families across northern Oakland and southern Macomb counties recognize these moments—and take the next step with care that feels supportive, not overwhelming.

Here are some signs in-home care might be right:

• Missed medications or confusion with daily routines
• Difficulty with personal hygiene, dressing, or cooking
• Memory loss or signs of Alzheimer’s
• Increased isolation or disinterest in favorite activities
• Family caregiver stress or burnout

Our Care Pros support older adults throughout Rochester, Troy, Auburn Hills, and Sterling Heights, helping them remain independent at home with confidence.

Many family caregivers try to handle it all. You’re not alone—and you’re not failing if it feels like too much.

At Home Instead Rochester, we’ve delivered more than 1.1 million hours of care to help families like yours regain balance, preserve relationships, and get peace of mind.

In-home care can help when:

• You’re balancing caregiving with work, kids, or your own health
• Your loved one’s needs are increasing
• You want trusted help with dementia or chronic conditions
• You’re burned out—or worried about becoming so

Our Care Pros offer practical support and emotional reassurance—whether you need a few hours a week or daily care.

It depends on your loved one’s goals—but for many older adults in Metro Detroit, in-home care is the most comfortable, flexible, and personal option.

In-home care vs. assisted living:

• Your loved one stays in their home—not a facility
• Routines, pets, and comforts stay the same
• Care is one-on-one, not shared
• Support adapts to your changing needs

In-home care vs. hiring privately:

Hiring a private caregiver often means:

• You’re responsible for taxes and payroll
• You handle scheduling, training, and liability
• There may be no backup when your caregiver can’t come

With Home Instead Rochester, you get:

• Vetted, insured, trained Care Pros
• No long-term contracts
• Backup coverage when needed
• A full office team behind every care visit

In-home care offers practical help and personal connection—so your loved one can stay safe and independent at home.

At Home Instead Rochester, here’s how it works:

1. Start with a free consultation. We’ll meet in your home or virtually to understand your loved one’s needs, routines, and what matters most.
2. We create a personalized care plan. This could include personal care, dementia support, companionship, help around the house, or 24-hour monitoring.
3. We match you with a Care Pro. Our team thoughtfully matches your loved one with a Care Pro based on skill, personality, and availability.
4. Begin care—quickly. We can often start within 48 hours, with care plans that adapt as your needs evolve.
5. You’re supported 24/7. Our local office is always here for you—whether you have a question, need backup care, or want to make changes.

At Home Instead, we don’t just hire helpers. We hire Care Pros—compassionate professionals who show up with empathy, reliability, and respect.

Here’s what makes our Rochester team different:

• Employees—not contractors
• Background-checked, trained, and insured
• Experienced in dementia care, mobility assistance, and chronic conditions
• Carefully matched to your loved one’s needs and personality
• Supported by a local office team and care manager

From meal prep and personal care to a walk on the Paint Creek Trail or a visit after a hospital stay, our Care Pros are committed to making every day safer—and more meaningful.
