In-Home Support Services

About Our Program

Catholic Charities has been providing In-Home Support Services in Milwaukee and Waukesha Counties to the frail older adults and adults with disabilities for over 25 years. In-Home Support Services provides supportive home care services to help individuals live independently in clean, safe homes or apartments in order to delay institutional placement, by providing light housekeeping, laundry assistance, companionship, meal preparation, grocery shopping, errands, transportation to doctor appointments, companionship and socialization.

Our Services Include:

In-Home social work assessments by trained staff at intake and semi-annually to gather detailed information about clients' physical health, emotional well-being, and social functioning to determine self-sufficiency and safety.
Information and referrals that connect clients with additional, appropriate services and resources provided by other Catholic Charities programs, government agencies, local churches, and other non-profits.
Direct service visits (minimum of 2 hours) to meet individualized clients' needs, for example: light housekeeping, laundry assistance, grocery shopping, meal preparation, etc.

Catholic Charities' In-Home Support Services is for frail older adults aged 50 or better and adults with disabilities. Fees for services are provided through private pay, county public benefits based need for service and income eligibility, and reduced fee service agreements for those with financial need. In-Home Support Services are provided in conjunction with the United Way of Greater Milwaukee and Waukesha County, the Catholic Stewardship Appeal and is also subsidized by agency donations, and is provided in Milwaukee and Waukesha County.

MEET THOMAS

When Thomas’ son passed away, he was left with almost no family support and began to feel lonely and unsure if he could keep living in his home. Thomas’ health conditions and age make it very difficult for him to clean his home on his own. When he needed help to remain safe in his home, he called Catholic Charities’ In-Home Support program.

A homemaker from the program was paired with Thomas and has visited once a week for nearly six years. In addition to providing housekeeping and help with laundry, her visits relieve the loneliness seniors feel when family and friends are gone. Thomas is grateful to Catholic Charities for helping him fulfill his wish to stay in his home.
