Wide Range of Quality Services for Families and Individuals
Family Life Care Management Agency provides support services for physical, mental, emotional and spiritual well being for all ages and abilities. Sometimes things happen that challenge independent living for you or your loved ones. You may need temporary help until things run smoothly again, or simply could use a little help with the tasks of daily living. You may wish to have someone help you on a regular basis with chores that aren't so easy anymore, or you may need help every once in a while.
You may need meaningful activities to encourage friendships with others in the community or want daily telephone contact, transportation or a companion. Perhaps, you live far away from someone in your life needing a little extra -- we can be there for you. Call and let us show you how our experience and commitment can be of service to you.

Share the Care
Share the Care is a program designed primarily for facilities that may need extra staffing on occasion. One call to Family Life Care is all you need; we will send a Nurse, Certified Nursing Assistant, companion or housekeeper to help. With this service you only pay for the hours of assistance you need. Most of the time when extra staff is called in, the facility must pay for a full day, often at time and a half rates. But not when you utilize our Share the Care program
The facility may have a resident who needs "just a little extra help" to be independent. You may not have the staff for one-to- one care. When you Share the Care with Family Life Care, you may be able to keep a resident with your facility rather than losing the resident to a more skilled placement.
Care is the business we are both in. By utilizing Family Life Care and our Share the Care program, we all win --- your facility, our agency and above all ..... the resident!
A Gift of Caring
Treat your friend or loved one to a special day of help with those things that are difficult for them to do. Gift certificates are available by the hour or the day. They will appreciate your thoughtfulness and caring.
