Diakon Home Care Services

Diakon Lutheran Social Ministries offers an array of services designed to help people remain independent and in the comfort of their own homes.

Diakon Volunteer Home Care provides short-term, non-medical assistance-such as companionship, errands, transportation, light household chores, and meal planning-through teams of volunteers from local communities and congregations.

If, however, you need more intensive assistance on a respite, short, or longer-term basis, Diakon Help at Home may be your answer. This fee-for-service program includes an initial visit by a professional care manager who assesses needs and creates a customized plan to help the client remain independent. Services include meal planning and preparation, bathing , grooming, dressing, home exercises, medication monitoring, transportation, and more.

Diakon Home Health offers home health care to individuals who are homebound and facing conditions that are complex, difficult to manage, and affect quality of life, such as cancer, heart disease, stroke, and pulmonary disease. Palliative care, or home health, focuses on comfort care, symptom management, supportive services, and health care education.
