In-home Help with Everyday Living

Our Personal Care Services offer adult home care that helps with everyday activities and enables people to continue living safely at home. Our home health aides assist with things such as bathing, housekeeping, meal planning and preparation, shopping and errands or medication reminders, as well as companionship and respite for caregivers.

Our services are helping the elderly, people with disabilities, individuals recovering from surgery, illness or injury, and people in transition from nursing homes receive care at home so they are able to remain in their own homes.

As a home care agency, we’re able to provide in-home care during daytime, evening and weekend hours and our services are covered by private fees, insurance or Medicaid.

Respite for Caregivers

If you’re the main caregiver for a loved one you may already be handling many daily care tasks for them. If so, you may find that occasionally using private home care services from Easterseals-Goodwill is a good way to take a needed break.

Self-Directed Care

Sometimes, rather than having one of our personal care attendants provide in-home services, people prefer to choose a family member or friend—someone they already know—to provide their care.

If the person receiving care meets all Medicaid eligibility requirements, the state will pay for a person they choose to provide services.

Individuals who choose this option need to be aware that they or a designated loved one would be in charge of directing the care, providing any necessary training, scheduling caregivers, and making sure back-up caregivers are available in the absence of the primary caregiver.
