As we get older, some of the daily activities we’ve taken for granted become more challenging.

Healthy@HOME coordinates and provides in-home care and support services to help seniors remain safely in their own homes and active in their communities... today…next month… for as long as they want!  We are often referred to as the “surrogate child service” – doing exactly what you would do for mom or dad if you lived nearby and didn’t already have a full schedule of your own. 

Healthy@HOME partners with seniors and their family members to assess their needs on an on-going basis;  YOU decide what support services you need and want.. Our wonderful staff will work closely with you and your older parentto encourage their independence and continued engagement in favorite activities, while ensuring that all of their needs are met.

Healthy@HOME will provide those support services in a personalized, affordable package to you so your aging loved one may continue to live safely and well in the comfort of their own homes.

Care Packages

We do not charge by the hour. Rather, our monthly care packages include daily staff visits, as well as ongoing assessment and coordination of services to meet your senior parent’s changing needs and wants.

Our most popular package includes the initial assessment and weekly visits by an RN, daily provision of personal cares by licensed staff, medication setup and reminders, appointment and paperwork support, shopping and meal prep, and ongoing care coordination.  

For more information on packages, please contact kristin.howell@lssmn.org or call 218.736.5431 x240.
