In-Home Care
Custom in-home care to help seniors live independently at home
Essence Home Care is the leading provider of in-home care, offering customized services to meet the unique needs of your loved ones. We help seniors and other adults who need assistance to live, and thrive, in the home environment they love.
We believe care is more than just doing a task for someone else— when you truly care for someone, it starts in the heart. At Essence Home Care, two decades of senior care have shown us that care can transform a life for the better, create a lasting friendship, and elevate a person’s spirit.
At Essence Home Healthcare, care is a relationship, not a task
Our caregivers, the exceptional people we refer to as Essence Home Care, are chosen for a number of reasons. They undergo rigorous interviews, background checks, and references, and we look for one trait above all others: empathy.
With empathy at the core of our care, daily routines can become teaching moments that stir memories, stretch our brains, and keep our eyes on the important parts of life.
We call this approach Interactive Caregiving. With Interactive Caregiving, care centers on four interrelated aspects: mind, body, nutrition, and safety.

Our goal is to help our clients have the best quality of life while maintaining their independence at home. Our senior home care plans are unique for each family and every home.

Respite Care
Entrusting your loved one’s care to someone else can be difficult. With Essence Home Care, you can trust that he or she will be in capable hands and will receive the highest quality of in-home care. Our specially trained caregivers will stay with your loved one while you take care of yourself, for as much or as little time as you need. And, every client receives a custom care plan that aims to engage them in intellectual, physical and emotional exercises and activities to increase engagement and connection.
Our goal is to care for every senior like they are a member of our own family, making Essence Home Care the best choice for yours.
Respite care is defined as the transfer of primary caregiving responsibilities to another person, typically a professional caregiver, relative or friend, in order for primary caregivers to receive temporary relief from caregiving responsibilities.
Respite care can take many forms – some family caregivers choose to have someone take on caregiver duties for a few hours a week or a few hours a day. Respite care can also be used for longer periods of time to accommodate an extended break or vacation.
Respite Care Includes:

Our Partnership with the Department of Veterans Affairs
We appreciate the many sacrifices veterans have made to protect our country, and we’re committed to providing veterans with uplifting in-home care services that allows them to live independently at home.
Veterans may qualify for VA benefits to cover some cost of their in-home care and surviving spouses may qualify for respite care. VA home care programs were designed for those who meet specific financial criteria and demonstrate a physical need for in-home care. Essence Home Care has a close relationship with the Department of Veterans Affairs, making accessing home care services for veterans even easier. We call this approach Interactive Caregiving. With Interactive Caregiving, care centers on four interrelated aspects: mind, body, nutrition, and safety.

Alzheimers and Dementia Care
Among the tens of thousands of seniors we help, 18% suffer from various forms of dementia or Alzheimer’s. Essence Home Care understands the struggles families face when caring for a senior with Alzheimer’s disease or dementia, especially when enabling them to live safely at home.
Our specially trained caregivers engage clients in intellectual, physical and emotional interactions that complement medical treatment and improve the quality of life for seniors and their families.
We can help care for your loved one at home, giving you the support you need. We believe that everyone should experience connection, purpose and uplifting moments, no matter their age or the level of care they need.
By choosing Essence Home Care, families receive support that includes:
We understand Alzheimer’s disease, dementia symptoms, how it affects behavior, and that it progresses at different rates for different seniors. We create and follow an individualized care plan that focuses on both physical and mental needs and goals.
Alzheimers and Dementia Care Includes:
Hospital to Home Care
By providing uplifting care during recovery at home, we can ease your loved one’s transition after discharge from a hospital or time at a rehabilitation facility. After hospital care for the elderly is critical to both physical recovery and emotional wellbeing, especially for seniors who live in the comforts of home instead of a senior rehabilitation center. Essence Home Care provides a range of in-home senior care and custom care plans, including following hospital-provided discharge plans and rehab for the elderly after hospital stay, all in the comfort and privacy of home.
Challenges of rehabilitation
Rehabilitation after an injury or illness can be a complicated process, especially for senior rehab. The time immediately following release from the hospital is a critical phase of recovery.
In addition to physical challenges, patients can experience depression or anxiety caused by social isolation and a change to their normal routine. And, due to the current health crisis, we understand that more people may be recovering at home following a hospitalization.
Trained in infectious disease control and senior care, our caregivers can help those in recovery stay safely in the comfort of home and reduce the risk of re-injury or hospital readmission by following discharge care plans.
We can also provide respite care or a short period of relief for family members and other primary caregivers. After a major surgery or hospital stay, it is common for family to temporarily move-in, or make arrangements to have their loved one move in with them. This compassionate change in routine can be stressful and overwhelming. Our trained caregivers can step in to allow primary caregivers to take a much-needed break and recharge.
Uplifting care during post-hospital recovery
Essence Home Care supports families by providing quality in-home care for seniors and other adults who need help at home during recovery after a hospital stay.
Our custom care plans are created to meet the needs of each unique individual we serve and can help ensure an easier recovery at home. We also support physician-prescribed exercise regimens, provide companionship and help families stay connected through technology.
At Essence Home Care, we strive to elevate the human spirit through quality, compassionate, joyful care.
