Reliable Help with Meals, Routines & Personal Care

In-Home Support for Daily Living in Oakland & Macomb Counties

Household tasks and personal care routines can quickly become overwhelming without the proper support. Avalon Essential Home Care in Troy provides dependable in-home assistance tailored around each client’s schedule, preferences, and physical limitations.

We help seniors and families maintain structure, comfort, and peace of mind by handling tasks that may feel physically or emotionally difficult to manage alone. Our services cover everything from meal prep and errands to grooming, laundry, and personal care assistance—all while ensuring consistency and respect.

Care begins with a face-to-face meeting, during which we learn what each day looks like for your family. We then match your loved one with a caregiver who fits their routine and personality. There are no surprises, no constant changes, just reliable, familiar, and supportive help.

Kind, Respectful Dementia Support

“AE Homecare provides compassionate personal care and light housekeeping for my elderly mother with dementia. Whether her aides are preparing simple meals, helping her with bathing, doing light cleaning, laundry, or kindly visiting a little with her each time they come, she is always treated with dignity and respect. I cannot say enough good things about AE Homecare’s excellent Staffing Personnel and compassionate aides who look out for my mother’s welfare. We truly could not care for her in her own home without their help. Thank you for all you do. You have truly been an answer to our prayers.”

Reliable, Caring, Responsive Service

“The agency provides a caregiver for my ex-spouse who has Alzheimer’s. We have a caregiver that is dedicated to him and has experience with Alzheimer’s patients. She is very easy to deal with when I see her in person at his house. She gives reports to the agency so that they have it on file. She is typically on time and if for some reason she will be late the agency will let me know immediately. The agency is also quick to provide a back up if the dedicated caregiver is not able to be at his house that day. The agency is very responsive to my requests.”

High marks for AE Homecare!!

“We have been the recipients of the extraordinary service for my husband, who has MS and is wheelchair bound. I am the primary caregiver, but have had help from this amazing agency for over a year now. The office personnel are exceptional, as they call regularly to check up on how my husband is doing and truly want to know if anything has changed. Our personal caregiver is outstanding. We have been with numerous agencies over the years and she is simply perfection. If an occasion arises and she can’t make it to shift they will send someone else all the while alerting us , with sufficient time so that we can change plans, if need be. None of this has been our experience with the other agencies. I can leave the house during their time with him and know that he is in good hands. AE Homecare is a blessing.”

Household Assistance FAQs

Household assistance from Avalon Essential Home Care goes far beyond surface cleaning. Our caregivers provide consistent, one-on-one support that promotes independence, comfort, and routine. We don’t operate on checklists or rotating appointments. Instead, we match each client with a caregiver who also helps with daily living tasks like bathing, dressing, or companionship.

This approach builds trust. Clients know who will show up, what to expect, and how their home will be managed. We also stay in contact with families, adjusting care based on changing routines or health conditions. It’s caregiving with practical support built in.

Caregivers provide support for a range of home-based tasks, including:

  • Grocery Support: Light shopping, list preparation, and unloading items
  • Laundry & Linens: Washing, folding, changing bed sheets, and organizing clean clothing
  • Light Cleaning: Sweeping, dusting, dishes, trash, and surface wipe-downs
  • Meal Prep: Basic cooking, portioning, and post-meal cleanup
  • Organizing Help: Decluttering or arranging common items for easier access

All services are adjusted based on the client’s home layout, physical ability, and comfort level. We focus on keeping things clean, safe, and manageable without disrupting your daily routine.

Yes. Every care plan is created through direct conversations between our team, the client, and their family. We’ll review your daily schedule, physical limitations, and household priorities to decide what kind of support makes the most sense.

Our team only assigns caregivers after understanding what you want help with, how often assistance is needed, and how you’d like it provided. That way, expectations are clear from the start, and care feels consistent from day one.

Along with routine household support, our caregivers assist with light organizing, meal planning, and errands that help simplify daily life. These services are included in your care plan based on what you or your loved one prefers. We adapt as your routine evolves, always aiming to support independence while reducing stress.

Common services include:

  • Errand Running: Picking up prescriptions, mailing packages, returning items, or basic shopping
  • Home Setup: Adjusting furniture or daily items for easier access and improved safety
  • Light Organizing: Rearranging drawers or cabinets, decluttering surfaces, or sorting personal items
  • Meal Planning: Creating simple menus, portioning meals, or coordinating with dietary instructions

These services help create a smoother, more comfortable day-to-day experience. We focus on respectful assistance that complements how your loved one already lives.

Household assistance can be added at any time and often complements other care services like personal hygiene or companionship. We build flexible plans that reflect the full picture of what a client needs, so if mobility, memory, or time constraints make certain tasks harder, we adjust the care accordingly.

Our team reviews daily routines with each client and family during the initial planning phase. As those routines change, we continue to revisit the plan and add support where it makes sense. That might mean introducing light cleaning, meal prep, or organization help as part of a broader care routine.

Contact Our Troy Team for In-Home Private Care Services

We begin every care plan by listening. Before assigning a caregiver or setting a schedule, we speak directly with you to understand daily habits, home routines, and the kind of support your loved one needs. That conversation continues with the same team, offering consistency from the first call through every change.

Our team answers questions clearly, explains available services, and adjusts plans as your needs evolve. Families across Oakland, Macomb, and Wayne counties have relied on us since 2004 for dependable, respectful home care that fits real life.
