Home Instead

Home Instead in Eau Claire brings professional, compassionate in-home care services directly to seniors in the comfort of their own homes across the Chippewa Valley. Operating from their Brackett Avenue office at 1812 Brackett Avenue, this locally rooted franchise of the nationally respected Home Instead network serves older adults throughout Eau Claire and surrounding communities — allowing seniors to age in place with dignity, safety, and consistent personal support. Home Instead's model is built on the belief that most seniors flourish best in the environment they know — their own home, their own neighborhood, surrounded by their own memories and routines. Trained Care Professionals assist with personal care, bathing, dressing, grooming, meal preparation, medication reminders, light housekeeping, transportation, and companionship. For families whose loved ones live independently across Eau Claire's neighborhoods — from the tree-lined streets near UW-Eau Claire to the established homes near Carson Park and Half Moon Lake — Home Instead provides a reassuring presence that keeps seniors connected to the life they've built. The Brackett Avenue office location in central Eau Claire reflects Home Instead's deep integration into the local community. Care coordinators are familiar with Eau Claire's healthcare landscape, including the resources available through Mayo Clinic Health System, HSHS Sacred Heart Hospital, and the area's network of primary care and specialist providers. This local knowledge enables seamless coordination between Home Instead caregivers and clients' existing medical teams. Home Instead also specializes in Alzheimer's and dementia care, providing families with trained caregivers who can safely support loved ones with cognitive changes in the comfort and familiarity of home — often the most reassuring environment for those navigating memory challenges. Flexible scheduling options range from a few hours per week to full-time, around-the-clock care. For Eau Claire-area families weighing in-home care against residential communities, Home Instead represents an excellent option for those who wish to preserve a loved one's independence in their own home as long as safely possible, backed by a nationally recognized organization with a deeply local presence.
