In-home care in Wilmington, Delaware
Non-medical home care in Wilmington, Delaware. Personal care, companionship, transport to
appointments and respite for family carers
Forty years in the same house
A great many of the people we help in Wilmington have lived in the same house for decades, and have no intention of
leaving it. They should not have to. The question is never whether they can stay, it is what needs to change so that
staying is safe.
In this city that question is usually about stairs. The row homes and older twins have the bathroom upstairs and a
flight of steps to the front door, and the day those stairs become difficult is the day the whole house shrinks to two
rooms.
Getting to appointments without it taking the whole day
The other thing families raise with us here is transport. An appointment at Wilmington Hospital is not difficult in itself. It
becomes difficult when it means a son taking a half day, finding somewhere to park, and walking a parent further than
they can comfortably walk.
A caregiver drives them, goes in with them, and brings them home. The appointment stops eating a working day.
What we can do
Personal care, including bathing and dressing. Companionship, including for people who have outlived most of their
friends and see very few people in a week. Meals, light housekeeping and laundry. Medication reminders. Driving to
appointments, church and the shops. And respite for the family member who is doing everything.
From a few hours a week to full days, and the arrangement can change whenever the need does.
Don't hesitate to contact us.
How we work
The first conversation costs nothing and comes with no obligation. The price is agreed in writing before anybody
starts. There is no contract, no deposit and no minimum.
We aim to send the same caregiver each time, because continuity is most of what makes this work. If the fit is wrong,
tell us and we will change it.
