In-Home Care Services for Silverdale Seniors
Roughly one in five Silverdale residents is 65 or older, and in more than 1,100 homes here, an older adult lives alone. That's a lot of neighbors keeping up with the house, the groceries and the doctor visits on their own. In-home care in Silverdale can take some of that off their plate, whether that means a few hours a week or help every day. Here's what we offer:
- Companion care brings conversation, meal preparation, errands, rides and light household help to seniors who spend a lot of their day alone.
- Personal care gives hands-on help with bathing, dressing, grooming, toileting, mobility and transfers, always with respect for privacy and dignity.
- Veteran care offers daily support at home for veterans, plus guidance on benefits that may help cover the cost.
- Home health care sends licensed professionals to monitor health conditions and support recovery at home after an illness or surgery.
- Skilled nursing provides licensed nurses who evaluate symptoms, manage medications and coordinate with physicians for more complex medical needs.
- Geriatric care management gives your family a care manager who assesses needs, coordinates services and talks with healthcare providers on your loved one's behalf.
- Senior placement services help families understand senior living options, schedule tours and choose the right community when staying home is no longer the best fit.
All of these services come from one team. Many families start with a few companion visits each week, then add personal care, a care manager or nursing support as their loved one's health changes. You stay with the same agency the whole way, with people who already know your family and your loved one's routines.
Getting Started With Care in Silverdale
Our 3-step process begins with a phone consultation, where we get to know your needs and goals and see whether we're a good fit. Next is an in-home consultation. We sit down with you and your loved one at home, learn about your situation and build a care plan around it. Then our team matches the right caregivers to that plan and lets you know the next steps. You can request a free assessment through the form on our Get Started page, and a caring member of our office staff will follow up with information and pricing.

Silverdale Resources That Work Alongside Home Care
Good senior care in Silverdale, WA often draws on local services along with help at home. Here are three that families here use, and where our care fits in.
Silverdale's hospital, St. Michael Medical Center, sits at 1800 NW Myhre Road and is designated by the state as a Level III adult trauma service. A serious injury, like a bad fall, can be treated close to home. The weeks after a hospital stay are often the hardest part, though. Our home health and skilled nursing teams can monitor recovery, and a care manager can coordinate follow-up appointments and arrange services after a hospital stay.
The Kitsap County Division of Aging and Long-Term Care keeps an office in the Silverdale WorkSource building on NW Randall Way, with in-person visits by appointment. Its programs include family caregiver support, dementia support and home-delivered meals. A meal delivery can cover lunch on a day our caregiver isn't scheduled, and caregiver support gives family members a place to turn for their own needs.
Getting around gets easier with Kitsap Transit ACCESS, which offers shared rides for seniors who can't use the regular buses within three-quarters of a mile of a bus route. Riders apply first, then book one to seven days ahead and get picked up within a 30-minute window. Our companion caregivers help with rides to errands and appointments too, which is handy when a trip comes up on short notice or your loved one would just like some company along the way.
Get Started With Home Care in Silverdale
The first step is a simple conversation about your loved one, their daily routines and what has started to feel harder lately. Take your time, and bring along any questions you have, big or small.
