About Us

Trusted Home Care Across West Michigan Since 2002

For more than 24 years, Great Lakes Home Care Services has helped individuals and families across West Michigan remain safe, independent, and comfortable at home. Our experienced caregivers provide dependable personal care, companionship, and home management tailored to each person's needs.

Hiring and managing caregivers on your own means taking on the responsibility of screening, scheduling, insuring, and managing care. With Great Lakes Home Care Services, your family doesn't have to handle that alone. We take care of the details so you can focus on what matters most — your loved one.

Why We Started

Great Lakes Home Care Services was founded in 2002 with a simple purpose: to care for others the way we would want our own families to be cared for. One verse in particular captured the values we wanted to build the company around:

‍“In as much as you did it to one of the least of these My brethren, you did it to Me.” — Matthew 25:40

‍
More than two decades later, that same principle still shapes how we screen, train, and support every caregiver we send into a client's home. It's also why families across West Michigan have trusted us for more than 24 years to help their loved ones stay safe, independent, and cared for at home.

One Team You Can Rely On

Hiring and managing in-home help on your own comes with real risk — liability, scheduling gaps, and the burden of vetting someone you may not know well. Great Lakes Home Care Services removes that burden:
‍
• You don't have to interview, hire, or manage caregivers yourself
• Every caregiver is screened, trained, bonded, and insured
• Care plans flex as your loved one's needs change
• One point of contact — a dedicated care coordinator — handles the details

“Siblings don’t always see eye to eye about things; nor do parents and children. A third party can be incredibly helpful at lightening the load, reducing tensions, and discovering solutions.”
