Support That Respects How You Live

A parent may insist everything is fine while dishes stack up, mail goes unopened or the evening meal is skipped. When worry starts to build up, the first step is learning what help would actually fit.

We begin by learning the client’s story, including their habits, strengths, concerns and personal goals. Relatives are welcome to share what they have noticed lately, and the care plan stays centered on the client’s own wishes.

In Indio, that could mean help getting ready in the morning, a friendly companion through the afternoon or some relief for a family caregiver who has been covering every shift.

Home Care Services for Your Daily Needs

Personal Care

Help with bathing, dressing, grooming, toileting and approved mobility tasks comes with patience and respect. Clients are encouraged to take part in each routine as much as they can.

Companion Care

Sometimes the best support is good company. Caregivers can chat, listen, complete puzzles, watch a favorite program or enjoy hobbies with clients in a relaxed way.

Meals, Household Help and Daily Reminders

Caregivers can make meals, wash dishes, keep living spaces tidy and manage laundry. Medication reminders can be part of the care plan, and help with phones or tablets keeps clients connected.

Transportation and Errands

Need someone for groceries, appointments or approved outings? We talk through transportation arrangements and the amount of help needed before these tasks are added.

Respite and Post-Hospital Support

Respite support gives family caregivers a chance to rest and recharge. After a hospital stay, non-medical support can help make homecoming easier by handling meals, personal routines and everyday household tasks.

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

No two schedules look alike. We can talk through short hourly visits, overnight support, 24-hour care and live-in care. Because staffing and rest arrangements differ between those options, the right choice depends on client needs, scheduling and caregiver availability.

Staying Alert to Everyday Changes

Because caregivers spend meaningful time in the home, they may notice changes before other people do. A skipped breakfast, a harder climb up the steps or a much quieter mood can tell a family that something about daily life has shifted. We report what we observe through the agreed communication plan, and families can decide whether to raise concerns with the client’s healthcare provider.

Mealtimes

We notice appetite changes, forgotten meals, spoiled food and any new trouble with shopping or familiar kitchen routines.

Getting around

We keep an eye on balance, comfort with stairs and what help dressing or walking requires.

Spirits and memory

We observe mood, repeated confusion and changes in interest or conversation.

Respectful Dementia and Alzheimer's Care at Home

Dementia affects each person differently. Our non-medical support offers companionship, personal care, simple, gentle reminders and patient assistance with everyday routines so familiar parts of the day can continue.

We gather information about preferences, life experiences, communication styles and the times of day that tend to feel easier. That helps guide caregiver matching and care planning.

Brad Grubaugh, Chris Breneman and Diane Robertson are Certified Dementia Practitioners. Their knowledge supports how our team plans care for people with memory changes.

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."
