Home Buddy, which has been around since 2005 and has its headquarters in Wichita, Kansas, provides a mix of care options for seniors, including assisted living, memory care for those with Alzheimer's or other forms of dementia, and support for seniors who want to keep living in their own homes. Assisted living at this place helps with everyday things like bathing and dressing, and the memory care program was made for seniors who get confused or tend to wander, with special therapies and rooms that help keep things calm and safe. For seniors living in their own homes, Home Buddy sends out trained aides who help with chores, non-medical tasks, and companionship, and it's also known for services like shower reinstallations and opening or closing pools, which is a bit unusual for a senior service but can be handy. The place puts a focus on food, offering meals made by chefs and meal planners who pick quality ingredients.
Home Buddy also stands out for its personal emergency response systems, called PERS, and its portable alert lifesavers, so getting help is as easy as pressing a button, and someone is there to listen day or night, even when it's the middle of a storm or if someone wakes up from a bad dream. It's a family-owned business with not a lot of employees, only about two to ten on staff, and it's earned some community awards for things like care, keeping people active, and just being friendly to talk to. Home Buddy offers things like medication management and has automatic medication dispensers to make sure medications are taken on time and right, and it uses remote patient monitoring systems (RPM) to keep an eye on health and help catch problems before they mean a trip to the hospital, letting doctors, caregivers, and families check in easily by phone or with the Notify app. There's a focus on helping people age at home safely, with services and gadgets that try to lower health care costs and make life easier.
They've got a brochure and will connect folks with senior living advisors for personalized guidance, which can be useful when people aren't sure what kind of help they need or where to start. While some people say good things about the sales and customer service staff, there are also reviews from customers who didn't feel satisfied, so experiences might vary. The company keeps its motto that they treat customers like family, sometimes better, right at the heart of things, and emphasizes service above everything else, which means if someone needs to talk at any hour, all they have to do is press a help button and someone's there, so no one's left feeling alone when they need it most.
