Respite Services:

In-home respite care provides a break to primary caregivers who are caring for a loved one and just need a break! Northwoods Caregiver Respite Providers are Certified Nursing Assistants, RN’s or LPN’s and have all passed several background and reference checks. They can help with daily activities such as: safety and supervision to complete tasks, transfers, meal preparation, feeding, exercising, dressing, bathing, and companionship.  Care is based on a fee per home and may be paid by county AC/EW payments. A nonrefundable $100 deposit is required to apply for non-waiver respite services. This deposit holds your place in the program and will be applied as a credit to your account once services begin. If services are not initiated, the deposit remains nonrefundable. For more information, please contact our office 218-333-8264.

Chore and Home Modification Services:

In addition to grant‑funded services, we are also able to bill eligible waiver programs, making this support accessible to more individuals who need assistance with maintaining a safe home environment.
