Our Services
Allowing seniors to stay in their home as they age is not only greatly preferred by most seniors, but can also result in better health outcomes. As a local business, we maintain a small team of dedicated and skilled caregivers that provide a wide range of home care services to assist clients through every stage of the aging process.
Caring Companionship
Sometimes all you need is Just A Little Help to stay in your home and maintain your independence. Contact us if you or a family member would like some help with everyday activities, such as:
- Providing medication reminders
- Transporting to appointments
- Running errands
Personal Care
When more care is needed, we're here for you. Our caregivers are skilled at helping seniors as they transition to needing help with the tasks of daily living, such as:
- Dressing and grooming
- Bathing and hygiene
- Feeding
In-Depth Care
When a family is going through a difficult time, having a caregiver from Just A Little Help can make all the difference. Family members can tend to other obligations or get much-needed respite, assured that their loved one will receive the best of care. Some examples include:
- Alzheimer's care
- Post-surgery care
- Hospice support
Our Rates and Policies
Our rates reflect our company's core value of paying caregivers a living wage. Our services are billed hourly and are based upon the level of care needed. Please contact us to discuss your situation. We are always happy to work with your schedule and budget to find the best way that we can provide you with Just A Little Help.
Standard Care: Our standard shifts for ongoing, regular care have a four-hour minimum. We'll take care of a variety of tasks during a shift, depending on your wants and requirements.
A la Carte Care: When you need a really little bit of help, you can use our à la carte services. Contact Sarah to discuss the specific tasks you need done, then one of our caregivers will come during a pre-arranged window of time and take care of those tasks during a mini-shift that lasts less than four hours. Also available as an à la carte service is transportation to and from day surgery, including staying with the patient post-surgery as long as prescribed.
Clients are billed for miles accrued by a caregiver while providing client services during a shift, based on the current Federal mileage rate. Rates for work done on major holidays are time-and-a-half.
Our services are not covered by Medicare. Some insurance companies do cover our care and we will work with you to get things set up with your insurance company.
Some clients may need special services that are slightly outside the scope of what we normally provide. These services can be arranged for and the rates will be determined on a case-by-case basis. Some examples include:
Moving
Cleaning Deeply
Organizing and Downsizing a Household
Escorting to Special Events or on Travel
Whatever your needs, please contact owner Sarah Graham today to discuss them.
