Care coordinators then work closely with the client and their family to schedule services, monitor progress and adjust support when needed. Regular check ins and reviews help maintain quality and allow families to stay informed about their loved one’s wellbeing, creating a team approach that ensures care remains consistent.
“My mother is very happy with your services. You and your team are truly a blessing to our family.”


Daily activities to make life easier including cooking, dressing, grooming, bathing/personal hygiene, mobility, assistance with meds and much more.
Consumer Directed Services (CDS) is a personalized approach to caregiving that puts individuals in control of their own support services. It's like having the remote control for your care, allowing you to choose who provides your assistance and when. Instead of a one-size-fits-all approach, CDS tailors caregiving to your unique needs and preferences.


In addition to personal care, HomeTeam caregivers assist with everyday household tasks that help maintain a safe and comfortable living environment. Support may include bathroom and kitchen cleaning, meal preparation, laundry and changing linens. Caregivers can also help with errands such as grocery shopping or picking up prescriptions. These services are designed to reduce stress and make daily life more manageable for both clients and their families. By helping in and around the home, caregivers allow individuals to focus on their health and wellbeing rather than household chores.
Relieving a family member or the primary personal care giver temporarily from daily home or personal care tasks.

Our goal is to make it easy and accessible to get necessary care, and the process begins when a family reaches out to request a consultation. During the first conversation, a team member gathers basic information about your loved ones needs or health concerns, giving us a feel of their daily routines. This is followed by a more detailed assessment, often conducted in the home, where we learn about personal preferences and the type of support that would be most helpful. From there, a personalized care plan is developed and a compatible caregiver is selected. Through this thoughtful and detailed process, we ensure that clients receive reliable and compassionate senior care from the very beginning.
HomeTeam works with several payment options to make care accessible for families. Many clients use long term care insurance plans to help cover the cost of services. In some situations, Medicaid programs may also assist with funding for qualified individuals, including those who participate in Consumer Directed Services. Our team can help families review their benefits and understand what options may be available. By guiding clients through coverage questions and paperwork, we aim to make the financial side of arranging care as simple and stress free as possible.
