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.

Cher Cant

kindness and companionship

“Excellent Home Care Service: For the past two years, my wife has been receiving home care assistance following her transplant and back surgeries, and we couldn’t be more grateful for the care and support provided by “Avalon Essential Home Care”. The caregiver assigned to us has become an essential part of our lives — she visits three times a week and provides exceptional, compassionate care. She assists my wife with daily activities, meal preparation, and light household duties, and always goes above and beyond. What truly stands out is the kindness and companionship she offers — she listens, chats, and uplifts my wife’s spirits on difficult days. Over time, she has become more than a caregiver; she feels like a trusted member of our family. Her presence not only helps my wife immensely but also gives me, as the primary caregiver, much-needed relief and peace of mind. We are deeply thankful to “AE Homecare” for providing such a dedicated and caring professional. I highly recommend their services to anyone in need of dependable, compassionate home care.”

i would recommend this agency without hesitation

“Recently, we hired Avalon Essential Home Care to have a caregiver sitting with my mom overnight. She had suffered a series of falls, and it was clear that she was going to need help and supervision at night, even though she lived in an assisted living. Avalon Essential was great. Everybody over there from the receptionist all the way to ownership showed an interest in making sure my mom had everything she needed to succeed. They promptly dealth with any scheudling issues that came up, so that we never had to worry about whether someone would show up on time. My mom was happy with the caregivers who came out. They were primarily ensuring that she did not fall during nighttime trips to the bathroom, so we cannot really speak to their other abilities. That stated, in speaking with the caregivers, overall they expressed experience in caregiving from working jobs in rehabs, hospitals, and the like. I was impressed, and my mom was comfortable. I would recommend this agency without hesitation.”

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.
