Telephone Reassurance
Our telephone reassurance program offers a daily telephone safety check to vulnerable seniors who live alone. A reassurance call can save a life and keep a senior living at home independently.

Companion and Home Friend Service
This service is designed for those who do not need hands-on personal care but who will benefit from a companion who can supervise the client’s activities of daily living, encourage independence in self-care, shop for food and household supplies, and more. Our companions will plan, prepare, and serve meals in accordance with client’s plan of care.
If the client needs accompaniment during errands, MD visits, hair appointments, etc., our companions are here to help. We’ll assist with light household tasks and laundry, and we’ll stay alert for changes in the client’s physical and emotional well-being. All of our companions are trained in agency policies and procedures and are supervised by a registered nurse who visits at least once every 60 days.
Respite Care
Our respite program is designed for both the family and the patient. This program is integral to the emotional well-being of the primary caregiver in the family, because it affords the caregiver an opportunity to pursue personal activities on a day-to-day basis, or over an extended period, such as a vacation. The caregiver gets a much-needed break and peace of mind knowing that his or her loved one is in good hands. The respite caregiver is a certified home health aide who follows an individualized care plan and is supervised by a registered nurse.
Mobile Meals
Weekday hot meal delivery is provided to clients who are mostly homebound due to illness, physical limitation, advanced age, or inadequate cooking facilities. The meals are delivered on average, between 10am and 2pm to the client’s home by trained delivery drivers. Contact us to find out more about our meal plans and funding options.
What kind of food do we provide? All of our meals are part of a low fat/low salt diet. The only change we make to the menu are substituting desserts for our diabetic patients. For example, a diabetic patient would get a fresh fruit instead of cookies.
