The Help at Home Program began in response to requests for in-home services from our clients and their families. To remain independent and in your home longer, sometimes, you just need a little help. And that is what this program is all about - a wraparound service program that improves independence and quality of life. Meal assistance (3 tailored meals/week, breakfast, and fruit) Reassurance calls (2 calls/month) Emotional support check (in-person) Access to services in the home (examples: clean out the fridge, take out the trash, unload the dishwasher).
