We provide warm, reliable in-home care across Portland, from the east side neighbourhoods to the west hills and Beaverton, helping people stay comfortable, connected and independent in their own homes for as long as they wish, with a care coordinator who checks in regularly and adjusts visits as life changes.

Our caregiver Ana has become part of the family. Dad looks forward to her visits, and we finally sleep well knowing someone is checking in every morning.

Talking With a Parent About Help at Home

Raising the idea of help at home can feel awkward for everyone. Our care coordinators can join that first conversation, answer questions honestly and keep the focus on what your parent wants.

We can help you:

  • Lay out the options in a relaxed, low-pressure way
  • Show how a small amount of help can protect independence
  • Explain what a visit looks like, step by step

Comparing options

Comparing Home Care With a Move

Families often ask whether care at home or a move to a community makes more sense. In-home care keeps every familiar routine in place and can start small, which makes it a gentle first step.

Choosing care at home means staying close to neighbours, pets and the garden you have tended for years.

Families often choose home care for:

  • Familiar surroundings and routines
  • Flexible hours that can grow over time
  • One-to-one attention at every visit
  • No need to move furniture or belongings
  • A quick and simple start

Questions families ask

Common questions about in-home care visits and how they work.

After a free home visit and care assessment, most clients begin within a week. We can sometimes start sooner after a hospital discharge.

Visits start at two hours. Many clients begin with two or three visits a week and adjust from there.

We aim for a small, consistent team of two or three caregivers who get to know you, your home and your routines.

We visit homes across the Portland metro area, including Beaverton, Tigard, Lake Oswego, Milwaukie and Gresham.

Clients are billed at a published hourly rate. We can walk you through payment options, including long-term care insurance and veterans benefits where they apply.

Yes. Visits can be added or lengthened at any time, and our coordinators review every plan regularly with you and your family.
