"We receive care for my mother in law 3 times a week. She loves her caregiver. She takes good care of her and is a great companion. She leaves us a list for the store so we know what to get, which is helpful. We are maybe going to expand the services now that her health needs are changing."

"I've got Interim HealthCare of the Fox Cities right now, and it's working out pretty well. They're very good. They're here on time and help around the house a little bit. They do what I need to get done, and they're very dependable and nice people. They help me out of bed, in the bed, and in and off of the toilet. They do laundry and even ran and got me some groceries one day. Billing and scheduling work out for me. Billing comes regularly and they're here on time. If there are any changes, they always call ahead and let me know. This week will be the fourth week that I'm using them. Everybody else had a three-hour minimum and this company has got a one-hour minimum and that's what I wanted, that's why I chose them. I'd recommend them because they come here on time and if you've got little chores to do, they'll do them."

Professional and Compassionate… That describes both the company's philosophy and their care givers as well. I felt safe with them. Caregivers were superb. Everyone I spoke with at the company was professional and helpful. A special shout out to Shannon! Thank you, HomeInstead.

"couldn't come on Monday but could make up on Sunday. I reemphasized that she shouldn't come at all. After a week in Skilled Nursing, it became clear that Mom would be staying there. Visiting Angles charged us for the week Mom was in Skilled Nursing and the next two weeks to finish the contract. The result--the charged Mom nearly $2000 dollars for 10 hours of questionable care. "

"Valley VNA is excellent. They give my mother a bath, wash her hair once a week, make her bed, and clean her apartment. She has Meals on Wheels for lunch, so they always prepare supper for her. They clean the litter box and they wash the windows. They're just fantastic. The caregivers are very caring, very friendly, and helpful, and just really nice. They care for my mom like their mom. If you want someone to take care of your loved one, you would have no worries going with Valley VNA because they're the best."

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 Appleton:
| Resource | Contact | Address | Service |
|---|---|---|---|
| Make the Ride Happen | (920) 225-1719 | 6737 West Washington Street, Suite 2275, West Allis, WI 53214 | Make the Ride Happen is a service that’s provided by Lutheran Social Services of Wisconsin and Upper Michigan. It helps seniors get to their medical appointments, and also provides transportation for errands such as hair appointments, shopping, banking, pharmacy pick-ups and local day programs. This service picks seniors up at their homes and brings them to where they need to go. |
| Aging & Disability Resource Center | (920) 832-5178 | 320 South Walnut Street, Appleton, WI 54911 | The Aging & Disability Resource Center serves Calumet, Outagamie and Waupaca Counties in Wisconsin. This organization provides counseling and referral services for seniors who may need help with their Medicare and Social Security benefits. It also helps seniors assess their living situation to determine what type of care and help they need to live safely at home, such as meal delivery services and peer companionship programs. The ADRC also provides telephone reassurance for seniors living alone. |
| Nutrition Program | (920) 832-5178 | 320 Walnut Street, Appleton, WI 54911 | Nutrition Program is a county-wide program for adults ages 60 and older who are struggling with food insecurity. Through home-delivered and congregate meals, this program ensures that these adults receive healthy food each week. It also provides nutrition education, screening and counseling services to vulnerable seniors. |
| Supportive Home Care | (920) 832-5485 | 320 Walnut Street, Appleton, WI 54911 | Outagamie County’s Department of Aging and Long-Term Support offers light housekeeping, laundry help and shopping assistance to adults age 65 and older who are low-income individuals and who can’t perform these activities on their own. This helps seniors continue living at home while ensuring their needs are met. This is a free service to qualified local seniors. |
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.
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.
