Cancer treatment and symptom management can be overwhelming—both physically and emotionally. We can help you navigate the challenges and move toward the future with optimism.
The stronger your team, the stronger your fight.
Cancer is scary. And its treatment can be just as challenging to manage as its symptoms. Our expertly trained caregivers can support you through a treatment plan, helping with transportation to medical appointments and chemotherapy, healthy meal preparation, bathing, medication reminders, companionship, exercise, and more. Our job is to reduce stress, fatigue, and feelings of isolation so you or your loved one can focus on your recovery and health.
We understand cancer and its challenges.
A cancer diagnosis and treatment plan often trigger a range of complex emotions as well as difficult physical symptoms.
We support clients living with all types, stages, and symptoms of cancer—from fatigue and loss of appetite to depression and anxiety. And our years of experience enable our Care Team to anticipate changes in care needs so you’re always as comfortable as possible. Our caregivers will stay by your side through treatment, so you never feel alone and help you focus on joy and what matters most to you.

How we can help.
Our caregivers have experience helping clients during their cancer treatments and recovery from surgery as well as with palliative care. We can provide transportation and companionship for medical appointments, chemotherapy, radiation, or other treatments, prepare tasty, nutritious meals to combat lack of appetite, provide mobility support and help with bathing when fatigued, and keep the house safe and tidy. And, if you’re feeling overwhelmed or down about the prognosis, we’ll be a source of support as you work through next steps.

can get the right support and services to live and age successfully at home.
Home care offers personalized assistance to older adults in need—and surprisingly, these services don’t always have to take place in the home. Here are the ways home care provides much-needed support to your loved one wherever they are.
Alzheimer’s and Dementia Caregiving
The FAST scale assesses the “functional” or daily observable changes and symptoms associated with Alzheimer’s disease or other dementias — and it can provide a useful map, as well as much greater understanding of the process of decline. But did you know that family members and loved ones can use this tool as well?

Frequently Asked Questions
What’s the best home care?
The best home care is provided by reliable, professional caregivers who are trained and backed by a home care agency that’s insured, providing oversight, care guidance, and back-up caregivers as needed.
How do I find the best caregiver for my loved one?
The best caregiver is an experienced professional who has the training and skills to support your loved one’s care needs. It’s also important to find a caregiver who’s extremely reliable—has back-up if necessary—and is a good fit in terms of personality and shared interests.
Is home care better than moving to assisted living?
Nine out of ten older adults would prefer to live independently in the home they know and love rather than moving to a facility or assisted living community. With the right level of support, most people can continue to live safely and comfortably at home even as they age with a progressive illness or medical condition.
How much does home care cost?
Home care is typically billed by the hour, so the cost depends on the number of care hours per week and can vary slightly by region. Most families pay out-of-pocket for their care or use long-term care insurance.
Is a home care agency better than hiring a private caregiver?
If you value safety, security, and reliability, yes. A quality home care agency is insured and also manages the performance and scheduling of its caregivers, handles billing and payroll, and has back-up caregivers to fill in when needed. With a private hire caregiver, you’re responsible for setting up payroll and withholding taxes, caregiver vetting and background checks, and purchasing sufficient liability insurance to cover any accidents or injuries in the home.
