To Whom This Information May Be Of Need;
Our family had need of in-home-care for my wife & a mother, with that being said we were lucky be told of At Home Preferred. From the interview through my wife’s passing almost a year later, we had a wide arrange of changing needs/challenges and At Home Preferred met each with some of the finest individuals I have ever worked with and had the opportunity to know. We started with companions, then to CNAs, each with nothing but proper care of my wife as their first priority. They not only cared for my wife but they were there for myself and my children, we could have not asked for more. I believe these individuals really became family, that’s how much they cared.
I would truly recommend this fine group to help you in your time of need.

Indianapolis Home Care Resources
Home care services are only one of the pieces needed for seniors to gracefully age in place. There are many services and programs that are low-cost or free, that enable seniors to enjoy an independent lifestyle in the comfort of their own home, such as help with home modifications, meal delivery services, and more. Below, we’ve compiled a few of the most helpful resources in Indianapolis:

There is no waiting list for new clients as they can expect to start receiving their meals at their homes in less than one week after applying.

Determining Your Loved One’s Need for In-Home Care
Aging can be a difficult process, and loved ones may not always ask for help – often times it’s up to their family to evaluate their need for help around the house. While no two situations are exactly alike, this checklist can help you and your loved ones determine when it’s time to start the search for a home care provider.
Guidelines for Talking About In-Home Care
If you’ve determined that your loved one needs the assistance of a care provider in their home, it may be time for a difficult conversation. Handled correctly, however, this process can bring a family together and ensure that everyone’s concerns are addressed. Use this PDF as a starting point to help the conversation stay as positive and productive as possible.
