Staying active and socially engaged is critical for seniors’ health and well-being. And, as much as we love spending time with our loved ones, most of us can’t be there as much as we’d like to provide that needed companionship. Illuminated Hearts offers in-home care services that can extend well beyond the day-to-day medical and essential housekeeping tasks. We offer in-home care to help fill in the gaps for a richer, more fulfilling life for your loved one, including:

✔ Talking, listening, and sharing experiences

Here at Illuminated Hearts, we hold veterans in high honor. Illuminated Hearts works with veterans and their surviving spouses to provide quality in-home care as an approved provider of the Veteran’s Choice Program. We also aid in procuring benefits for eligible veterans that will fund the cost of home care services, as well as refer veterans to professional resources to determine their eligibility for entitled benefits for home care needs.

This interactive platform allows family members to respond to logs, make requests, and communicate with caregivers. It ensures families stay connected and involved in care coordination even from a distance.

Premier’s trained staff provide essential care for sudden health concerns every day. This collaboration offers an accessible alternative to emergency departments.
