Why choose us for home care in Livonia, MI?

Seth and Hannah Michael are the proud owners of this Livonia office which has been serving seniors and their families in the western Wayne county for almost 16 years. Seth and Hannah both attended college in Michigan before Seth joined The United States Airforce. They took over the Home Instead Senior Care in Livonia after personally experiencing the struggle of caring for Seth's grandparents who suffered with Parkinson's disease and pancreatic cancer. The peace of mind that came from knowing their grandparents were well taken care of, while they could not be present, moved them to want to pass on the blessing to other families in their area. Seth and Hannah are passionate about spreading God's love to the seniors, their families and all who work for Home Instead Senior Care. They work hard daily in the office, with their outstanding team, to assure that each Senior is receiving the proper care needed. The vision for this company is to enhance the lives of everyone they encounter and they look forward to seeing the impact Home Instead is making and will continue to make in this community.

Jahda is his name, and loving is his game. Jahda is the office dog who accompanies Seth and Hannah to work every day. He is a seven-year-old Goldendoodle who has more than enough love and kisses to spread around the entire Wayne County. So stop on in and let him give you some love!

Rem, our therapy dog, has finally arrived! Rem is our 6-month-old Goldendoodle who will be out in the community visiting our local facilities and homes of our clients (upon approval) to bring a little love their way. More and more studies are showing how the love and affection of a therapy dog can reduce the effects of dementia and Alzheimer's in our aging loved ones. It is Rem's mission to remind these seniors how important and loved they are and she will continue to spread joy until every senior feels it. If you know of someone who could benefit from a little visit from Rem, please feel free to contact us and we would be glad to come out and visit.​​

Tonee joined HISC team in August, 2019. Her professional journey in home care began in 2001 straight out of high school, from that time she has worked in various capacities within homecare. Working in this field was an easy decision for her due to watching her grandmother have homecare and at only 16 years old caring for her grandfather who had pancreatic cancer. Throughout her life she has taken on the role as caretaker for many of her loved ones, she attributes this dedication for her loved ones to values instilled in her from the women in her life.
