What HOMEWARD is — and is not
HOMEWARD provides planning, navigation and family coordination. It does not diagnose medical conditions, provide emergency response, legal advice or financial advice. When a regulated or licensed service is needed, such as personal care or home health aides, it is delivered through our licensed care partners or other independent licensed providers, not by HOMEWARD.
Common questions
Do you do the clean-out yourselves?
No. HOMEWARD plans and coordinates; clean-out crews, movers and estate sale help come from local partners.
How long does downsizing take?
It depends on the home and the family. Planning in stages and setting dates early keeps it manageable.
Can you help if the move is to assisted living?
Yes. Cardinal Care Advisors can also help the family compare senior living options.
