Our Services
Light Housekeeping
Our Light Housekeeping service ensures a clean, safe, and comfortable home environment for our clients. Caregivers assist with routine household tasks such as dusting, vacuuming, laundry, dishes, taking out the trash, and tidying up common areas. While we do not provide deep cleaning, our goal is to maintain a neat and organized living space that supports our clients’ health and well-being.
Meal Preparation
Our Meal Preparation service focuses on providing nutritious, home-cooked meals tailored to our clients’ dietary needs and preferences. Caregivers can help plan menus, shop for groceries, prepare meals, and ensure safe food handling. We promote healthy eating habits while respecting cultural and personal tastes, making mealtime both enjoyable and nourishing.
Companionship
Our Companionship service is designed to reduce loneliness and enhance emotional well-being through social interaction. Caregivers provide friendly conversation, engage in activities like reading, games, or walks, and offer a comforting presence. We believe emotional support is just as important as physical care in promoting a fulfilling life.
Our Commitment to Excellence
At The Happy Home-Care Service, excellence is at the heart of everything we do. We are committed to delivering compassionate, respectful, and dependable care that exceeds expectations. Our team is carefully selected, professionally trained, and dedicated to maintaining the highest standards of service and integrity. From our caregivers to our administrative staff, we work tirelessly to ensure every client receives the personalized support they deserve — because we believe that exceptional care changes lives.

How to Pay for Home Care Services
At The Happy Home-Care Service, we understand that choosing in-home care for a loved one is a big decision—and one of the most common concerns is how to afford it. Our team is here to guide you through every step, including exploring financial options to help cover the cost of compassionate, professional care.
Flexible Payment Options Available:
Our team is here to help you understand the various ways to fund quality care for your loved one. Contact us to discuss which option might work best for your family’s needs.
Private Pay
Many families use personal savings, retirement income, or shared family contributions to pay for home care. This is often the fastest way to begin services with full flexibility.
Long-Term Care Insurance
If your loved one has a long-term care insurance policy, it may cover part or all of the cost for in-home support. We’ll help you review the policy and file the necessary paperwork.
Veterans Benefits
Qualified U.S. military veterans or their surviving spouses may receive up to $2,020/month in financial assistance through the Aid & Attendance pension. We can help assess eligibility and support you with the application.
Reverse Mortgage
Homeowners aged 62+ may consider a reverse mortgage to unlock home equity and help pay for care. We recommend speaking with a licensed reverse mortgage advisor to explore this option safely.
Whole Life Insurance
If your loved one holds a whole life insurance policy, it may have built up cash value over time. In some cases, families can borrow against it to fund care while keeping the policy active.
Local & State Programs
Depending on your location, there may be state-funded or county-level programs that support seniors who meet specific health or financial criteria. Contact us to learn more about what’s available in Polk County and nearby areas.
