Homemaker services that keep a home safe and livable

An unmanageable house is one of the most common reasons people lose their independence. Homemaker support handles the household work so staying home stays realistic.

The household is part of the care plan

Falls happen in cluttered hallways. Nutrition slips when cooking becomes exhausting. Infections follow when laundry and dishes pile up. Household tasks are not cosmetic, and when they go undone the consequences show up as hospital visits.

ALLCARE LLC provides homemaker support across Minneapolis and Hennepin County for people who can still direct their own household but no longer have the stamina, mobility, or reach to keep up with it. The goal is a home that stays safe and functional without the person having to move out of it.

Working with you, not around you

This is your home and your system. Our staff learn how you fold, where things go, which pan you use for what, and which chores you would still rather do yourself. Homemaker support that reorganizes someone's kitchen without asking is not help, it is an imposition.

We also watch for changes. If the fridge is full of untouched food, if the same dishes sit for days, if the laundry volume suddenly drops, that is information worth reporting to the family or case manager.

Questions

About homemaker services

Is homemaker service the same as a cleaning company?
No. A cleaning company cleans a building. Homemaker support is part of a care plan for a specific person, delivered by staff who also notice how that person is doing, follow their established household routines, and report meaningful changes to the family or case manager.
Can you help with meal preparation for a special diet?
Yes. Tell us the dietary requirements, whether that is low sodium, diabetic, texture-modified, halal, or a personal preference, and our staff will follow them. Written instructions from a dietitian or physician are helpful and we will follow them as written.
How many hours per week do most people use?
It varies widely. Some households need a few hours weekly to stay ahead of laundry and cleaning; others need daily support that includes meals. We will work out a realistic schedule with you rather than pushing a package.
Do you provide the cleaning supplies?
Typically we use the supplies already in the home, since people have preferences and sensitivities about products. Talk with us during intake if that is a problem and we will work something out.
