What Is Home Health Care?
Our home health care is built on relationship-based care, not just tasks. While our services are non-clinical, they are often a vital bridge between medical care and independent living.

- Daily activities like bathing, grooming, dressing, and meal prep
- Cognitive support for Alzheimer’s or other dementias
- Mobility and fall prevention to promote safety at home
- Companionship to ease loneliness and encourage engagement
- Transportation to appointments at providers like Mercy Hospital, UChicago Medicine, or St. Bernard Hospital
- 24/7 care for advanced conditions or post-hospital recovery
- Respite care so family caregivers can rest or travel
Every service is customized based on the client’s routine, family needs, and health conditions.
