At Omatochi, we believe that seniors should have the choice to age at home when possible, but sometimes they need a little extra help to do so.

Our home health aides assist clients who live independently but need help to care for themselves or perform daily tasks such as cooking, cleaning, dressing, and bathing.

They will also provide/assist with some social activities to keep the clients cognitively and emotionally engaged.

Most home health aides spend most of their time in their patients' homes.
