In-Home Care

Congregation-based teams offer visits of sustaining presence, reassuring phone calls, in-home support, and an array of non-medical services to aging persons and their caregivers. These services include rest and relief for caregivers, assistance with mail correspondence, sorting, organizing, and bill paying. Training and ongoing support for team members are provided through a unique collaboration of Catholic Charities and Oakwood Foundation. All team members are screened through background checks and thoroughly trained in topics and techniques such as: confidentiality, limits of care, handling an emergency, and active listening skills. Care Team members abide by the ethics of respectful and compassionate care, confidentiality, and services offered without discrimination.
