Most families don’t struggle when a parent clearly needs care.
They struggle before that point.

This is the stage where parents are still independent, living at home, and managing most things on their own—but everyday tasks start to pile up. Technology becomes frustrating. Driving feels stressful. Errands take longer. Appointments require backup. Nothing is “wrong” enough to justify home care, yet something feels off.

This in-between stage is where adult children quietly step in, often without realizing how much they’re taking on. There’s no clear service to call, so families improvise. Over time, that gap becomes exhausting—and avoidable—if it’s recognized early.

In-home caregiving provides personalized support to individuals who need assistance with activities of daily living while remaining safely in their own homes. Services commonly include help with bathing, dressing, mobility, meal preparation, medication reminders, and light housekeeping, tailored to the client’s functional and cognitive needs. Care is delivered by trained caregivers under a plan of care that promotes dignity, safety, and independence. This model of care supports quality of life while reducing the risk of hospitalization or premature need for care facility.

On-demand respite at Vern’s Place provides short-term, flexible care on a daily or nightly basis for individuals who need supervision and support when their primary caregiver is unavailable.
