Helping Daily Life Feel Manageable Again

Some families notice changes slowly: a messy kitchen, missed phone calls or a husband who seems tired after every errand. Others face a sudden need after an illness. Either way, help can begin with a conversation.

We ask what a normal day looks like, where support would help most and what the client wants to handle independently. Those answers shape a care plan that honors privacy, personal choices and long-held daily routines.

Families in Desert Hot Springs can ask about a few hours of help with errands, regular visits for companionship or extra help while a spouse or child takes time away.

Home Care Services for Your Daily Needs

Personal Care

Our caregivers provide hands-on help with bathing, dressing, grooming, toileting and approved mobility tasks. We aim to support safety and everyday comfort while respecting the client's privacy and independence.

Companion Care

Many clients enjoy having someone to talk with or share favorite pastimes with. Companion visits are built around personality, interests and the pace the client prefers.

Meals, Household Help and Daily Reminders

Caregivers can plan simple meals, cook, clear the kitchen, tidy living areas and help with laundry. Medication reminders within the care plan and help with phones or tablets are also possible.

Transportation and Errands

Errands can include shopping, appointments and approved outings. Transportation depends on the arrangements we agree on and the level of help the client requires.

Respite and Post-Hospital Support

Family caregivers need rest too, and respite care offers a break. After a hospital stay, non-medical support can help with meals, routines and household tasks as the client settles back home.

Hourly, Overnight, 24-Hour and Live-In Care

Some clients need a few hours, while others need help overnight or throughout the day. We can discuss hourly, overnight, 24-hour and live-in care. Each option has its own staffing and rest arrangements, and availability depends on caregiver schedules.

Keeping Families in the Loop

Even close, attentive families can miss gradual changes. Because caregivers see the client’s routines firsthand during regular visits, they can notice differences in energy, appetite, movement or mood and share those observations so relatives are not left guessing about daily life. Updates reach the family through the agreed plan. Relatives can then decide whether to share concerns with the client’s doctor or other provider.

Eating and drinking

We notice when meals are skipped, kitchen tasks become more difficult or favorite foods go untouched.

Mobility at home

We pay attention to steadiness, dressing, getting up from a chair and moving between rooms.

Mood and memory

We note any changes in conversation, interest, confusion or daily habits

Compassionate Alzheimer's and Dementia Support

When memory loss enters the picture, everyday tasks may need more guidance. Our non-medical support offers companionship, help with personal care, gentle reminders and a calm approach to routines.

We want to know what matters to the person: favorite music, work history, family names, mealtime habits and how they respond best. These details guide caregiver matching.

Brad Grubaugh, Chris Breneman and Diane Robertson are Certified Dementia Practitioners. Their training and experience shape our approach to care planning and caregiver matching.

What Families Say About Ease in the Home

"We have been pleased with the care givers that we have gotten from Ease In the Home. We have been using Brad’s company for about a year and have found that he is very concerned that his clients are receiving the best care possible."

"I've had experience with many agencies over the years, but none like this. Ease in the Home is absolutely next level, exemplary in every way. The owner/operator answered the phone himself and explained their philosophy and goals. And when the staffing director called to line up care, she wanted to know everything about my mother. We had a long, un-rushed call, in her effort to match the best personalities for Mom. Her ongoing, careful work to staff our schedule needs was so surprising, relative to every other agency. And she seemed always available! The caregivers we were privileged to work with were professional, extremely experienced, and each had a gentle, respectful disposition toward Mom. My brother and I agree— this is what caregiving should be. I thought of the overnight staff as my mother's angels in the night. Guarding and watching and assisting, until she passed. We will always be grateful for Ease in the Home's beautiful care of our beautiful mother."

"Every care giver was professional, and they truly cared for my parents which is sometimes hard to find in this industry. I eventually had to have 24 hour care for my parents, and we never had a gap in service. The owner Brad always kept me up to date with any medical issues with my parents. I highly recommend this service."

Chris, the founder of Ease in the Home was extremely easy to work with and Diane, his assistant was beyond attentive, available and always concerned about meeting Paul's needs as well as mine. They listened and "heard" us. They all became our "second family" during the 3 months of 24/7care before Paul passed away. The team's goal was to keep Paul safe, clean and happy during this stressful time and at the end, their caring support and love was so appreciated."

"Ease In the Home was a blessing for our family. They provided exceptional care and quality of daily living for us. I highly recommend them for all you caregiver needs."

"Chris, and the entire team at Ease In the Home care, have been a crucial part in caring for our family member over the last 2 years. They always worked on getting us the best person for what was needed at the time. They are caring, knowledgeable, understanding and went above and beyond for our family."

Beginning Care in Three Steps

1. Reach Out With Your Concerns

Call our California team and explain what is hard. Share who needs help, which tasks matter most and when to begin.

2. Review the Care Plan

We talk through routines, an in-home consultation and the tasks, hours and costs involved. If the client agrees, relatives can join and help shape the plan.

3. Begin With a Matched Caregiver

We weigh skills, experience, personality and availability to find a good match. After care begins, we stay involved and can revise the plan as needs evolve.
