Personalized In-Home Care Planning
Care starts with a free in-home assessment to explore daily needs, family goals, preferred schedules, and payment options. The LIFE Profile assessment assists the care team in evaluating the client’s independence, interests, and home setting to create a customized plan. Caregiver matching considers the individual’s needs and preferences.
Care managers stay engaged after services start, monitoring progress and modifying plans as needs evolve—whether clients need more hands-on help, alternative schedules, or support during hospital discharge.
Personal Care Assistance for Daily Activities
Personal care provides hands-on, non-medical support with daily tasks that may be hard to handle alone. Skilled caregivers provide assistance in the comfort of the client’s home, following a tailored care plan that specifies the type and level of support needed.
- Bathing and Personal Hygiene Assistance
- Dressing and Toileting Assistance
- Walking, Mobility and Transfer Assistance
- Eating and Incontinence Assistance

- Meal Preparation and Grocery Shopping
- Light Housekeeping and Laundry
- Errands and Prescription Pickup

Senior Helpers Greenwood and South Indianapolis offers in-home care for individuals with Alzheimer’s and other forms of dementia. Through its Senior Gems program trained caregivers adapt communication and activities as a person’s abilities change. Support is personalized, focusing on each individual’s needs instead of a standard set of tasks.
Dementia care may include assistance with daily activities, companionship, supervision to address wandering concerns, and activities tailored to the client’s interests and abilities. Family members can participate in care planning as needs change.
Parkinson’s Care and Chronic Condition Support
Caregivers offer non-medical care to clients with Parkinson’s disease and other chronic illnesses. Specialized training in Parkinson’s equips caregivers to handle changes in movement and daily needs. Assistance can include personal care, mobility support, running errands, and providing reminders, as specified in the care plan.
For individuals with conditions like arthritis, diabetes, heart disease, or multiple sclerosis, support focuses on everyday activities impacted by their illness. Services often involve assistance with meals, personal tasks, and transportation to appointments. Caregivers offer practical in-home support rather than medical care or skilled nursing.
Help After a Hospital Stay or Surgery
The Return HOME transitional care program supports clients as they transition home after a hospital or care facility stay. Planning can begin around the time of discharge and continue as the person resumes daily activities. Caregivers can assist with personal care, meals, medication reminders, errands, and transportation to follow-up visits.
Surgery assistance and sitter services also provide companionship and non-medical support during hospital or facility stays. A caregiver might stay overnight, help with permitted personal tasks, and request assistance from staff when necessary. This support complements the care provided by medical professionals.
Respite, Overnight, and 24-Hour Home Care
Respite care provides family caregivers with time to work, attend appointments, rest, or manage other responsibilities, while their loved one continues to receive support. The care plan might include a short-term break or a longer period of temporary support.
Scheduling options accommodate different levels of need:
- Visits for a Few Hours
- Regular Daytime Care
- Overnight Care

Overnight care provides assistance during the night. For clients needing continuous coverage, 24-hour home care provides support throughout the day and night.
