When families in Pierce County need help at home
Families often call ABOVE when a loved one is still living at home but daily life is becoming harder, less safe, or more stressful for the family. Sometimes the need is ongoing personal care. Sometimes it is a short check-in, a medication reminder, a safe ride to an appointment, or help after a hospital discharge.
- A parent is forgetting medications
- A loved one was recently discharged from the hospital
- Bathing, dressing, meals, or mobility are becoming harder
- Family members are missing work to check in
- Dementia symptoms are creating safety concerns
- A loved one needs help, but not a full 4-hour shift
- Transportation to appointments has become stressful
- The family is overwhelmed and does not know where to start
A more flexible option than the old 4-hour minimum
Many home care agencies require long minimum visits. That can work for some families, but not every situation requires a full block of care. Some families need short, purposeful support: a wellness check, medication reminder, meal setup, safety supervision, or help getting ready for the day.
NoMi by ABOVE gives families a more flexible way to use home care when they need help, without paying for hours they do not truly need.
Traditional Home Care
- Often requires 2–4 hour minimums
- Families may pay for unused time
- Harder to use for quick support needs
- Less flexible for working adult children
- May feel like all-or-nothing care
NoMi by ABOVE
- Flexible support based on real need
- Helpful for short check-ins and reminders
- Easier for busy families
- Works well after hospital discharge
- Care can grow as needs change
NoMi by ABOVE is a flexible care program offered by ABOVE Home Health, not a separate company.
