Getting started

Getting Ready for Your First In-Home Visit

Nothing to clean, nothing to prove. What to gather, what the visit feels like, and why family and caregivers are always welcome at the table.

These guides are general education, not personal medical advice. Bring what you read to your visit — questions are always welcome. For emergencies, call 911.

Learn with better sources

When you want to research, the source matters.

Curiosity is welcome here — patients and families who learn often ask the best questions. These are the sources we trust, the same ones behind the search tool on our home page.

Bring what you find to your visit so it can be weighed in the context of the whole person — that is what shared decision-making means.

A word of comfort

If today feels heavy, start here.

Caring for yourself or someone you love can be tiring in ways that are hard to explain. You do not have to have it all figured out before you reach out — that is what the first conversation is for. Send a request, or just call. We will help you find the next step, even if the next step is not us.

If this is an emergency, call 911 now. For everything else: request a visit or call 641.843.8405.
