Bathing and personal care
Help with bathing or a shower, grooming, and using the bathroom, with patience and your privacy respected.
Bathing and personal care, dressing, mobility and transfers, meals, housekeeping and laundry, and more. A caregiver comes to your house on the days you pick and takes on the parts of the day that have gotten to be too much.
What a visit looks like
These are the things we help with. You pick what you need and the days you need it, and a caregiver comes and does it.
Help with bathing or a shower, grooming, and using the bathroom, with patience and your privacy respected.
Help getting dressed in the morning and ready for bed at night.
A steady hand getting around the house, standing up, and moving safely from bed to chair.
Meals planned and cooked the way you like them, with your diet in mind, and the kitchen cleaned up afterward.
Light housekeeping, laundry and fresh linens, and keeping the rooms you use safe to walk through.
Grocery runs and errands, with an itemized receipt for every dollar, the same day.
A ride to and from appointments, a steady arm on the way in, and company while you are there.
Conversation, games, walks, and a familiar face at the door.
Awake overnights, long days, or a live-in arrangement when a couple of hours a day is not enough.
Caregivers
Our caregivers are our own employees, on W-2 and never subcontracted, and we are growing in Macomb County.
If you would like to work with us, email us with “Caregiver” in the subject line, or call.
What we help with
Non-medical personal care and homemaking: hands-on help with everyday living, in your home, on your schedule, from our own W-2 employees.

Anything that needs a licensed health professional is outside what we do. If that is what you need, we will say so up front and help you find the right person.
That is the starting rate, with a two-hour minimum per visit. Long days, overnights and live-in are priced as part of your plan, and weekly plans of 12 hours or more get package pricing. Major holidays are billed at one and a half times the rate. We are private pay. If your family is looking at Michigan's Home Help program, ask us. You get your exact schedule and cost in writing before care starts.
Plan the week
That is normal. It is the first thing we work out together at the visit. You can try it here first: tap the days, pick how long, and see what a week adds up to. Nothing is booked or sent from this page.
Tap a day to start.
Hourly care starts at $32 an hour. The rest of the pricing is under What we help with. The in-home visit is free, and it is where your real number comes from.
How it starts
Tell us who needs help and what a good week would look like. The form on this page takes about two minutes, and you do not need an account or a card.
We come to the house, walk through it with you, and listen to what a good week would look like. Then we write the care plan with you: what we'll do, when, and who is coming. There is no charge for the visit and no obligation.
Your caregiver comes on the schedule we agreed on. We go over the plan with you every 30 days.
Service area
Macomb County, Michigan
There is no office to come to. Care happens at your house. If you are just outside the county, ask anyway. It depends on the day and the distance.
Request a visit
The first visit is free, with no obligation, and it is the only way to know what help would really cost. Fill in what you know. The rest can wait until we meet.
