In-Home Care Services for Seniors & Families in Oakland & Macomb Counties
At Avalon Essential Home Care in Troy, we believe care should feel personal, not transactional. Our general in-home care services are built around each client’s needs, including help with errands, daily routines, mobility, and companionship. We’ve supported families across Oakland, Macomb, and Wayne counties for over 20 years with one-on-one care rooted in consistency, compassion, and trust.
Before care begins, we meet with you to discuss your daily challenges, preferences, and goals. Then, we match you with the caregiver who best fits your needs, schedule, and personality. Your caregiver won’t rotate randomly or arrive unannounced; we provide face-to-face introductions, weekly check-ins, and direct access to our local office team 24/7.
Our general in-home care includes everything from short-term assistance after a hospital stay to long-term daily living support. If you or your loved one needs companionship, help with hygiene, or dependable support while you’re away, we create a care plan that works around your family’s routine.

General In-Home Care FAQs
General in-home care includes daily support that allows individuals to live comfortably and safely in their homes without needing a facility or medical setting. Services are non-medical in nature and can help with routine tasks such as bathing, dressing, mobility assistance, meal prep, light housekeeping, transportation, and medication reminders. The goal is to improve quality of life while promoting independence for as long as possible.
We meet with each client and their family to build a care plan around their situation and lifestyle. That plan is carried out by a consistent caregiver who gets to know the client personally and adjusts care as things evolve. This continuity matters—not just for safety, but for comfort and trust.
Our in-home care services are built around practical support that fits naturally into your day-to-day routine. Depending on your plan, our caregivers can help with the following:
- Companionship & Engagement: Shared activities like conversation, reading, or light walks
- Errands & Transportation: Help with grocery shopping, pharmacy pickups, and local travel
- Housekeeping & Laundry: Tidying, dishwashing, bed-making, and laundry help
- Meal Preparation: Preparing meals that fit dietary needs and preferences
- Mobility Support: Transferring between bed and chair, walking assistance, and wheelchair use
- Personal Hygiene: Bathing, dressing, toileting, and grooming assistance
All services are reviewed and confirmed with you in advance. As needs shift, we update the plan accordingly to ensure the right level of help is always in place.
Our process starts with a face-to-face consultation. A client care coordinator meets with the client and family to discuss daily routines, challenges, preferences, and concerns. We examine what’s working, what’s difficult, and how we can build a plan that makes life easier without being intrusive.
There’s no one-size-fits-all schedule. Some families need a few hours a week for light support, while others require daily or around-the-clock assistance. We offer honest feedback during the consultation and follow up regularly to adjust care based on how things are going.
Yes, in-home care doesn’t have to be a long-term commitment. Many families bring in caregivers temporarily to fill short gaps or support a loved one during transitions. Examples include:
- Family Caregiver Breaks: Respite care when the primary caregiver is unavailable
- Post-Hospital Recovery: Help with daily tasks after surgery or hospitalization
- Travel Coverage: Support while family members are out of town
- Trial Periods: Try care short-term to see what works before making long-term plans
If the situation changes or care is needed longer, we simply adjust the schedule and continue working with the same team and caregiver.
