Home Instead Senior Care

Home Instead Senior Care, listed with the Malden Chamber of Commerce, provides in-home, non-medical care for older adults through its office serving Melrose and nearby communities. Caregivers, called Care Pros, help with bathing, grooming, toileting, repositioning and incontinence care, as well as companionship, meal preparation, laundry and light housekeeping. The service is designed for seniors who want to remain at home and for family members who need support or a break.

Home Instead was founded in 1994 and has helped older adults around the world age safely at home. Locally, each Care Pro is handpicked, vetted and trained, then matched to a client based on fit as well as skills. Care plans range from a few hours a day to overnight or continuous care and adapt as needs change. The office also supports families through end-of-life care in partnership with area hospice agencies.
