Home Health Aide Services

Help with both personal care and the practical tasks that come with it — managing the home, medication reminders, and homemaker tasks that go hand-in-hand with personal care. Note: Our caregivers do not administer medication; clients self-administer and our team provides reminders and physical assistance only.

3

Personalized care plan. We write a care plan tailored to your needs, schedule, and preferences — and match you with the right caregiver.

Long-Term Care Insurance

We work with most major LTCI carriers. Bring your policy to the assessment and we will help you understand what's covered, file the initial claim, and submit ongoing documentation on your behalf.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is “non-medical” home care?

Non-medical home care covers personal care, companionship, and homemaking tasks — bathing, dressing, meal prep, errands, and supervision. It does not include nursing procedures, injections, wound care, or medication administration. If your loved one needs medical care, we can coordinate alongside a home health or hospice agency.

Are your caregivers licensed and background-checked?

Yes. Our caregiver team includes State Tested Nursing Assistants (STNAs), Home Health Aides (HHAs), Personal Care Aides (PCAs), Companions, and Homemakers — all employed by us as W-2 employees. Before any caregiver enters your home, we complete BCI and FBI background checks, OIG exclusion screening, TB testing, CPR/BLS verification (where applicable), and credential verification.

Who supervises the caregivers?

All caregivers are supervised by Joyce A. Boateng, RN, BSN, our Director of Nursing. We conduct an initial supervisory visit within the first week of service and routine supervisory visits at least every 90 days.

How quickly can care start?

Most clients can begin within a week of the free in-home assessment. For urgent situations — a hospital discharge, a sudden change in a loved one's condition — call us directly and we will do our best to start sooner.

What payment methods do you accept?

We accept Private Pay and Long-Term Care Insurance (LTCI). We do not bill Medicare or Medicaid at this time. For LTCI clients, we provide all visit logs and documentation your insurer needs for reimbursement and can help you file the initial claim.

Do you offer overnight or 24-hour care?

Yes. We offer both extended-hour shifts and Live-In Care, where a caregiver resides in the home for 24-hour periods.

What if my loved one doesn't get along with the assigned caregiver?

Just tell us. We will reassign promptly. Match quality is a top priority and we expect to refine the match over the first two weeks.

What areas do you serve?

We serve clients throughout the State of Ohio. Our home office is in Toledo, and we have active caregivers across Northwest, Central, Northeast, Southwest, and Southeast Ohio — including Toledo, Columbus, Cleveland, Cincinnati, Dayton, Akron, and surrounding communities. If you’re in Ohio, call us — we can almost always staff a caregiver in your area.
