What is Homemaker Services?

Frequently asked questions

What tasks do homemakers handle?
Our homemakers take care of cleaning, vacuuming, dusting, laundry, changing bed linens, meal preparation, grocery shopping, and light organization. They focus on maintaining a safe, comfortable living environment. They do not provide personal care like bathing or medication management.
Can homemaker services be combined with other care?
Yes, and they often are. Many families combine homemaker services with companion care or individualized home supports to cover both household needs and personal care. We can help you build the right combination.
How often will the homemaker visit?
That depends on your needs. Some clients prefer weekly deep cleaning visits, while others need someone several times a week for meal prep and daily upkeep. We work with you to set a schedule that makes sense.
Is this service covered by Medical Assistance?
Homemaker services are often covered under Minnesota's waiver programs and Medical Assistance. Eligibility depends on your specific situation. We help families navigate the funding process during the initial assessment.
