Dearborn · Wayne County
An honest, non-medical home care plan for Dearborn families — built for multi-generational households and the realities of a modern hospital discharge.
Formerly known as Beaumont Hospital Dearborn. Affordable Home Care is independent and not affiliated with Corewell Health.
Many Dearborn families have multi-generational households where adult children, in-laws, and grandchildren share caregiving. We schedule around the family, not around our convenience — overnight only, weekends only, mornings only, or full days. Whatever covers the gaps the family cannot.
We do not give injections, change wound dressings, dispense medication, or perform any task a nurse would. We do help with bathing, dressing, mobility, meal preparation, medication reminders (we don't open the bottle), light housekeeping, transportation, and companionship. If your loved one leaves Corewell Dearborn with skilled-nursing needs, the discharge planner sets up a separate Medicare home-health visit for those tasks (the difference is broken down in our home health vs. home care guide).
Affordable Home Care is a family-owned Southeast Michigan agency, founded 1989, headquartered in Farmington Hills. We are not employed by, contracted to, or financially affiliated with Corewell Health. Some Corewell Dearborn case managers refer families to us by name; that referral is informational, not transactional.
The window where readmissions are most likely — and where non-medical support matters most.
Hour 0–4 — the homecoming
Caregiver meets the family at the home (not earlier). First task: walk the route from front door to bedroom to bathroom. Second: review the discharge summary together so the caregiver knows what the patient was admitted for, what's new, and what the follow-up plan looks like.
Hour 4–24 — the medication settle-in
New prescriptions filled at one pharmacy. Old medications labeled CONTINUE or STOP per the discharge summary. Caregiver provides reminders only — never opens bottles or measures doses unless the family explicitly self-pre-fills a weekly pill organizer.
Hour 24–72 — the rhythm test
Sleep schedule, bathroom schedule, meal schedule, and energy level all shift in the first 3 days home. We log the rhythm in writing and reassess hours/coverage with the family at the end of day 3 — never sooner.
