• Showering and/or bathing.

• Toileting, which includes getting on/off toilet and cleaning oneself.

This is where we at Sheppard's can be of assistance. We are available for as few as 4 hours at a visit to 24 hours a day, 7 days week. We are available to you when you should need us, whether if be short or long term, weekends or holidays. ​ Schedules are designed around you and your needs, wherever you call home.

​

​Who pays for this service?

Our services are considered custodial, not medical. With that being said, health insurance will not cover our cost for most people. Many long term-care insurance plans will, depending on the design. There is also additional funding options available that we can explore together.
