The hard part is knowing how many hours, what kind of help, which agency, and how to bring it up with a parent who insists they're fine.
How we help
We figure out what help is actually needed
Bathing and dressing? Meals and medication reminders? Transportation? Overnight safety? The answer changes the agency, the schedule and the cost significantly.
We connect you with vetted agencies
Licensed, insured Utah agencies with caregivers who stay. Turnover is the single biggest predictor of a bad experience, and it isn't on any brochure.
We help with the conversation
Framing help as something that protects independence — not something that takes it away — is often the difference between a yes and a no.
We stay reachable
If the fit isn't right after two weeks, call. Changing agencies is normal and we'll help you do it without drama.
What we can connect you with
- Non-medical in-home care agencies (companionship, bathing, meals, errands)
- Skilled home health providers ordered by a physician
- Overnight and live-in caregivers
- Adult day programs for daytime supervision and socialization
- Respite care so a family caregiver can rest
- Hospice and palliative care providers when the time comes
An honest note on cost and how this works
Our help is free. We are not a home care agency and we do not employ caregivers — we help you choose one and stay in your corner.
In-home care in Utah commonly runs $30–$40 per hour, with lower rates for longer shifts. Many families start with 12–20 hours a week. Long-term care insurance and VA Aid & Attendance can offset a meaningful share of the cost.
