What we do.
Six kinds of home care, all of them shaped by what families call us about. Pick the one that sounds closest to your situation, or talk it through on a 15-minute call.

Post-hospital recovery
When a loved one comes home from hospital. A trained caregiver picks up where discharge instructions leave off: medications, wound care, the slow return to normal.

When dementia changes the day. A familiar face, patient presence, and careful notes for family after every visit.

When you're too tired to keep carrying everything. A few hours a week, a weekend, a whole week: whatever lets you catch your breath.
See respite for family caregiversHourly home care
When a few hours a week would change everything. Companionship, meals, light housekeeping, medication reminders. Small support that adds up to staying home, longer.

When dignity matters most. Bathing, dressing, mobility: the intimate parts of getting older, done carefully and with dignity.

When the care plan grows. When clinical work grows (wound care, infusions, tubes, trach), Salve's nurses do it at home.

The six services above draw on the same day-to-day work. Plain about what we cover, so there are no surprises on the 15-minute call. Each service page lists what's included for that kind of care.
- Personal care: bathing, dressing, mobility, transfers
- Companionship and supervision
- Meal preparation and light housekeeping
- Medication reminders and administration
- Post-hospital recovery support
- Dementia and Alzheimer's care
- Respite for family caregivers
- Overnight and around-the-clock visit coverage (multi-shift, not live-in)
- Complex care: skilled nursing, tracheostomy and ventilator support, palliative and end-of-life care
- Transportation to appointments
- Help arranging the medical and personal-care supplies used in daily care, through a trusted partner
If a case needs hospital-level monitoring or equipment we can't safely bring to a home, we'll tell you on the 15-minute call rather than commit to something we shouldn't.
Two more questions families ask
- How families pay for it: extended health, VAC, CSIL, and what the bill usually looks like.
- Meet the caregivers: the small team that does the work.
