What is Affordable Home Care?

Affordable Home Care is a family-owned, non-medical home care agency in Farmington Hills, Michigan, serving Southeast Michigan since 1989. We provide personal care, companion care, specialized dementia care, and live-in care for seniors who want to remain at home.

How much does in-home care cost in Southeast Michigan?

In Southeast Michigan in 2026, agency companion care typically runs $27–$32 per hour, personal care (bathing, mobility, hands-on help) runs $29–$37 per hour, specialized dementia care runs $35–$42 per hour, and live-in care runs $400–$500 per day. We provide free, personalized quotes with no fees. Call 248-419-5010 or use our cost calculator at affordablehomecare.org/cost-calculator.

How quickly can home care begin?

In many cases, we can begin care within 24–48 hours. For non-urgent situations, we typically start within a week after completing the in-home assessment and caregiver matching process.

Can I request a different caregiver?

Yes. We carefully match caregivers based on care needs, personality, and preferences to ensure a great fit from the start. If you're not satisfied with your caregiver for any reason, simply let us know and we can typically provide a replacement within 24 hours.

What types of home care services do you provide?

We offer personal care, companion care, respite care, specialized care for conditions like Alzheimer's and Parkinson's, live-in care, and hourly care. Our services include bathing assistance, medication reminders, meal preparation, light housekeeping, transportation, and more. Whether you need a short-term home care service after surgery or ongoing daily support, we customize every care plan.

Are your caregivers background checked and insured?

Yes. All caregivers clear a comprehensive background check, drug screening, direct reference verification, and a real-time skills assessment conducted by a Registered Nurse — a skill is not credited until it has been observed and confirmed. In most new cases, a Care Pro Lead starts the client relationship, learns the full care picture, and performs a structured Warm Handoff to the ongoing caregiver. All caregivers are W-2 employees — fully insured and bonded for your protection.

Senior Dehydration Prevention Month

Dehydration is a serious summer risk for older adults. Aging reduces the body's ability to conserve water and sense thirst. Our caregivers monitor fluid intake, recognize warning signs, and ensure seniors stay properly hydrated.
