"I needed help with my 98 year old mother who lives with me. My doctor suggested Home Instead, as she had prior contact with the company. Well, she was right, I have been so pleased with staff and how accommodating and responsive they are. My caregiver Nicole is wonderful, she is professional, kind and goes above and beyond completing requested task. She also does many things around the home that I did not request. Who does that? My mother can be difficult but she is so patient with her and lets things flow off. She knows how far to push her and when to let her rest. My mom has said many times how professions she is. Home Instead has made it possible for my mom to stay in my home and supply the additional care that I am unable to do. I highly recommend them."

"My father, in his early nineties, gradually required more and more care due to increasing physical limitations and dementia over the past two years. Prior to Home Instead, he had "fired" several other services, Home Instead survived due to their accommodation and gentle persistence. During the last three months, he required 24 hour care and they, as a team, stepped up and provided the care that he needed. Several of the care-givers came to understand him well, in spite of his difficult moments, and were an essential comfort to him in his last days; which he was able to spend at home due to their care and diligence. Home Instead's staff and supervisors were generally pro-active in anticipating needs and made good suggestions for resolving issues as they appeared. During extra-ordinary circumstances they went well beyond what could have been expected, and it was correspondingly very much appreciated. I can recommend them highly and without reservation."

"My sister has Alzheimer's and needed care but we really wanted her to be in her own home. The care givers that Tanglewood Home Care provided were heaven sent. My sister was treated and cared for with love and respect. Tanglewood met every need we requested of them and went above and beyond. They took her shopping, prepared meals, cleaned her house and most importantly helped her maintain a sense of independence. We could not have imagined a staff that would be more perfect for our sister! "

Compared to the national average, home care costs in Howell are just over $1,000 more expensive per month. This is likely due to the small nature of Howell and the limited options for in-home care in the region. It’s also $572 more expensive than the state average. Kalamazoo and Detroit costs run similar to Howell, but still come in at $381 less. Care is even less expensive in the smaller towns of Monroe and Niles.

Given the high cost of in-home care, many people use one or more forms of financial assistance to cover the expenses. Below, we explain some of the most common sources of financial help for paying for in-home care. If none of these options are available to you, you can reach out to your Area Agency on Aging or Aging and Disability Resource Center to learn about local 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 Howell:
| Resource | Contact | Address | Service |
|---|---|---|---|
| Howell Senior Center | (517) 546-0693 | 1661 N. Latson Rd.

Aging can be a difficult process, and loved ones may not always ask for help – oftentimes 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.
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.
