When your loved one needs home care in Smyrna, you don’t just want a caregiver who can fill a schedule; you want someone they can genuinely connect with.

At Home Matters, care is more than assistance; it’s a partnership. Our nurse-guided care plans adapt to your loved one’s daily needs, routines, and goals, providing necessary support while respecting their independence.

We take the time to match you with a caregiver who feels like part of the family: someone who listens, understands, and looks forward to every visit. Blending high-touch care with 24/7 virtual monitoring, we keep your family informed while giving your loved one the reassurance they deserve.

Care Built Around Your Life in Smyrna

Your loved one’s needs are unique, so our care is never one-size-fits-all. Here’s how we help them thrive at home:

Memory Care for Alzheimer’s and Dementia

Familiar surroundings can provide comfort and reassurance when your loved one struggles with memory loss. Our Alzheimer’s and dementia caregivers provide calm, consistent routines, gentle reminders, and friendly companionship to ease confusion and bring peace to each day.

24-Hour, Live-In, and Overnight Support

Needs can change at any hour, so we’re here for you around the clock. Whether you need overnight reassurance, a live-in caregiver, or rotating 24-hour shifts, we provide attentive, continuous care to keep your family member safe and supported.

Post-Illness and Post-Surgery Recovery Care

After a hospital stay or injury, our recovery care services help your loved one regain strength at home. We assist with meal preparation, medication reminders, mobility, and light housekeeping, making the healing process less stressful.

Comfort and Guidance Near Life’s End

When comfort and dignity become your priorities, we offer gentle end-of-life support. Working with hospice providers, our caregivers tend to your loved one’s needs so your family can focus on spending time together.

Flexible Respite Care for Family Caregivers

Caring for a loved one can be rewarding, but exhausting. Our respite care gives you time to rest and recharge while we provide dependable support for your loved one, just as you would yourself.

The Advantages of Care at Home

For most older adults, there’s simply no place like home. With personalized in-home care, your loved one can stay comfortable and independent without the disruption of moving to a facility. Here’s why so many Smyrna families prefer home care:

Familiar surroundings

Staying in familiar surroundings reduces stress, especially for seniors with memory challenges.

Personalized care

With one-on-one care, your loved one gets exactly the level of help they need, whenever they need it.

Stronger family bonds
Staying at home keeps loved ones close, so family and friends can visit freely.
Flexible support

Care plans grow and adapt with your loved one’s needs, from part-time help to 24-hour assistance.

Nurse-guided oversight

A registered nurse supervises every care plan, ensuring consistent, safe support at home.

Ongoing peace of mind

We keep your family connected and informed through 24/7 virtual monitoring, even when you can’t be there in person.

New to Home Care? What Families Ask Us

How do we know it’s time to get help at home?

If your loved one is forgetting meals, skipping medications, or struggling with daily tasks, it may be time to consider in-home care. Gentle support can help them stay safe, independent, and connected at home.

We can update care plans whenever needed, adjusting schedules or services to make sure your loved one always gets the right level of support.

We’ll handle all scheduling details, so you don’t have to worry. If your loved one’s caregiver can’t make it, we’ll send another qualified team member for uninterrupted support.

Yes! Many families use long-term care insurance, VA benefits, or other local programs to pay for home care. During your free consultation, we’ll review your options and help you find the best fit for your situation.
