We truly care about the well-being of our clients. As a trusted partner in your elderly home care assistance journey, our dedicated registered nurse, Melissa Therrien, meticulously oversees every care plan, ensuring the highest standard of care.
We hold our caregivers to the highest standards and choose them very carefully. Our team undergoes regular training sessions to ensure they provide exceptional support services to every client.
Our care plans are flexible and can be tailored to suit your specific needs. Since we’re relationship-based, rather than task-oriented, a minimum of four hours is required per visit.

Ohana Care 
Transitioning from 24/7 assistance to being alone can be scary and unsafe. HCAs and LPNs can help you cope with your return and set you up for a speedy recovery.
Assisted living includes daily check-ins, companionship, transportation to medical appointments or social activities, running errands, help around the house, grocery shopping, a presence when contractors (such as landscapers, electricians, or plumbers) come in, assistance with daily living activities, regular home risk consultations, and help with technology.
Respite care for the primary caregiver or family member, assistance around the house, companionship during social activities, intellectual stimulation, transportation to and from a day program, and guidance for seniors living with dementia to help with chores.
If family caregivers are increasingly tired and frustrated or hurt themselves, there are two patients. We can care for the household, assist with chores to alleviate stress, and give everyone time to enjoy each other’s company!
Ohana Care has the option for short-term caregiver contracts.
In some cases, new medications can lead to unwanted side effects, and conducting daily wellness checks may not be feasible. Our LPNs and HCAs assist by monitoring vitals, moods, skin, balance, and more. Additionally, our team is equipped to provide care if you have severe nausea, get very weak, are at risk of falling, or if your judgment is impeded.
We’re registered with the Veterans Affairs for health services, Veterans Respite, and Veterans Independence Program.
Typically, a Health Care Aide will be more involved with clients, assisting with breakfast, getting them ready in the morning, and providing medication reminders. Our Health Care Aides also support our clients' quality of life by doing laundry, changing bedding, respecting their routine, and providing companionship.
Health Care Aides also serve as companions when clients experience “Unscheduled Care Needs,” which refers to assistance required throughout the day that cannot be scheduled. These needs include incontinence, transfers, asthma pumps, PRN medication (aches, constipation, diarrhea, headaches), and more.
Licensed Practical Nurses (LPNs) primarily focus on the medical aspects of client care. Their visits may be as brief as one hour, during which they ensure there aren’t any significant changes in the client’s health, assist with more complex care needs, verify that HCAs are adhering to the care plan, and assess the client’s overall well-being. LPNs may only visit clients immediately following their discharge from the hospital or when implementing a new care plan.
During our initial meeting, we will collaboratively assess what best suits you and your family. We will consider factors such as medical conditions, gender, and any further requirements. If at any point you are dissatisfied with the caregiver entering your home, please let us know as soon as possible. It's important to us that you feel safe, respected, and in control of the situation.
We charge for a minimum of four hours, but encourage you to make the most of this time. During our visit, we can perform a home safety check, fold laundry, wash the dishes, inspect refrigerator items to ensure they haven’t expired, help type emails, assist with phone calls, and execute other basic care needs. However, some exceptions may apply to the minimum hours. Book your free consultation to find out more.
