In-Home Companion Care That Comes to You
Warm, non-medical companionship and daily support for seniors across Northwestern Indiana.
IN-Home Care NWI provides non-medical, in-home companion care and caregiving services for seniors across Northwestern Indiana. Caregivers help with everyday needs like meal preparation, dressing assistance, mobility support, and hobbies engagement — in the client's home or an assisted living facility. This service is the right fit when a loved one needs consistent companionship and practical daily help, but not skilled medical care.
IN-Home Care NWI is locally owned and comes directly to the client rather than requiring travel to an office. The company is contracted with the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs and works with Medicaid through Anthem, United, and Humana insurance. Caregivers are Certified Home Care Trainers focused on daily living support and companionship rather than clinical care. The service area spans Lake County, Porter County, Tipton, Carmel, West Lafayette, and surrounding Northwestern Indiana communities. A free in-home assessment is the way families start the process to build a care plan matched to their loved one's needs, with no pressure and no guesswork about what's involved. Whether a family is just beginning to look into options or already knows daily help is needed, that first visit is designed to listen first and build a plan around the specific person, not a generic package.
Companion Care Services
Supporting seniors with daily activities and meaningful interaction to enhance their quality of life.
Meal Preparation
A caregiver plans and prepares nutritious, enjoyable meals in the client's own kitchen, supporting good nutrition and daily routine.
Dressing Assistance
Gentle, respectful help with buttons, zippers, layers, and daily outfit choices to start the day with confidence.

Hobbies Engagement
Companionship built around the activities a loved one enjoys, from card games to gardening to conversation.
Non-Medical Senior Care Beyond Home
Companion care isn't limited to a private residence. IN-Home Care NWI also provides the same warm, non-medical support in assisted living facilities and hospice settings, so a loved one can keep a familiar, trusted caregiver even if their living situation changes. Whether a family member lives at home, has recently moved into assisted living, or is receiving hospice care, a consistent companion can continue helping with daily routines, mobility, and meaningful connection.
Differentiating Non-Medical Care vs. Skilled Medical Care
When Companionship & Daily Help Fit
If a loved one needs steady company, help with meals, dressing, mobility around the home, or staying engaged in hobbies — but doesn't require nursing care, medication management, or clinical treatment — non-medical companion care is often the right, more affordable starting point.
When Skilled Medical Care Is Needed
If a loved one requires wound care, medication administration, physical therapy, or ongoing monitoring by a licensed nurse, that falls outside non-medical companion care and calls for a licensed home health or medical provider instead.
In-Home Care Costs
Every family's needs are different, so IN-Home Care NWI starts with a free in-home assessment to determine the right care plan and cost for your loved one. There isn't a single flat rate — pricing depends on the hours and type of support needed. Several paths can also help make care more affordable:
Structured Family Care — In Indiana, Structured Family Care is a Medicaid waiver program that pays tax-free daily income to people who live with and care for an aging loved one.
Private Pay — Families can pay directly for care hours and services, with a plan built around the exact support needed.
Medicaid and VA — IN-Home Care NWI works with Medicaid and is contracted with the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs, so eligible families and veterans may have additional coverage options worth exploring during the assessment.
Not Sure What Level of Care Is Right?
A free in-home assessment is the easiest way to find out. A member of the IN-Home Care NWI team will visit, listen to your family's situation, and recommend a care plan with no pressure to commit.

The goal is to help seniors live more comfortably and confidently each day.Does IN-Home Care NWI accept Medicaid or insurance?
