Home Care Services

Home Care is an alternative to hospital or other institutions like nursing homes.  Health care and personal care can be provided in your own home with the assistance of a home care agency.  Services are available monthly, daily, and hourly, up to 24 hours each day.

Services can include medical and non-medical care such as assisting with shopping, laundry, meal preparation, and companionship.

Some types of Home Care can be paid for with Medicare or Medicaid.  Other types of Home Care are private pay. 

If you would like more information, please call The Senior Alliance at 734-722-2830, or visit them online at www.aaa1c.org/.  You can also contact The Detroit Area Agency on Aging at 313-446-4444, or visit them online at www.daaa1a.org/.
