Specialized Care

Dementia Care

Dementia comes with its own challenges due to the progressive decline of the brain, therefore our Care Team Partners are trained with the philosophy of a world-renowned dementia care expert, Teepa Snow -Positive Approach to Care.

Hospice Support Care

Nearing end of life can be a most difficult experience for an individual, their family, and friends. Having support and compassionate care to come along side can make all the difference. No matter what the journey looks like, it is our privilege to walk it together.

Parkinson’s and ALS Care

Achieving a high level of function for everyday life is a goal that our Care Team Partners can come along side to promote. As the demand on the caregiver increases, the need for partnership becomes increasingly vital. 

In-Home Recovery

We partner with Clients and Families to provide a transition from hospital or rehabilitation to in-home support, which can be vital to a successful recovery. We offer temporary or ongoing partnerships. Service can be prearranged for surgery recovery to ensure a support system from pre-surgery to full recovery.

Hospitalization can significantly change the support needed to transition home. Our expert team of RNs and Care Management provides Partnership and Nurse-Managed Care Plans assessments. We coordinate care with Home Health and Hospice, working together to establish care goals as soon as possible.

Partnership with our Care Team during recovery creates a support system and encourages rehabilitation toward desired independence goals. Proper care support can prevent the recurrence of hospitalization or setbacks in recovery.

Peace of mind is priceless.

Partnership means a Journey Together – whatever it looks like.

Overnight Care

Overnight shifts offer a support solution for individuals who need assistance or supervision for safety during the night to remain safe in their homes. Services typically begin between 8 pm and 9 pm and are flexible to range from 10-12 hours. Care Partners provide care upon arrival at the home to prepare a meal, give medication reminders, and assist with preparations for bedtime. While Clients are sleeping, their Care Partner is on-call at the home, ready to attend to any Client needs overnight – take medications, assist to the bathroom, reposition, brief changes, etc.

Caregiver Relief

We understand the stress, both emotionally and physically, caregiving takes on caregivers. Fatigue, frustration, and guilt are frequently experienced by caregivers along this challenging journey. We are glad to partner in providing support for caregivers in time away from daily responsibilities. This may be a regularly scheduled time for a Care Partner to provide relief or it may be on an as needed basis for a weekend or to cover a specified time. Caregiver relief provides a support system for time away, encouragement, and resources.
