Better Care:

We go above and beyond the standard home care agency, leveraging all available resources to ensure our clients maintain their independence within the community.

We strive to bring value to the client's ability to make educated health-conscious choices.

Each of our caregivers goes through a rigorous, multi-faceted, background check process, including fingerprint and government database exclusion lists confirmation to ensure utmost safety while under our care

Improve Health

Although we offer no medical services, improving health outcomes is a multifaceted undertaking that we have embraced with utmost success

  services and yearly thereafter.

3. Family engagement, where available

4. Weekly touch points with each client and caregiver

  We monitor any changes in the client's condition, capabilities, and surroundings to ensure
  timely mitigation of any issues that may negatively impact a clients' ability to safely remain
  independent in their home

5. ILHC had developed significant and effective relationships and partnerships across our community that not only support our care model but contribute to it by aligning our goals of providing better care for our clients while managing the overall efficiency and effectiveness of our care.

6. Partnerships with residential facility management and insurance case managers to ensure coordination of the service plan, capturing the distinct needs of each client
