it’s about more than just living.
At ameriCARE Richmond we believe that all people deserve to live and thrive in the comfort of their own homes, wherever they call home. We understand the complications that come with aging, surgery recovery, and managing chronic illness and we’re here to help improve your quality of life as you work to address these challenges. We empower our in-home care clients to make their own choices regarding their care while finding innovative ways to improve their independence and time at home.
getting started with our CARE team
We start first, by getting to know you and your needs. We’ll meet in person to talk through your independence goals and identify areas where we can support you best. Next, we’ll visit you at your home and do a walk through to explore any other areas where we can assist you in living independently. After we have all the information, we’ll create a unique care plan to fit your needs and budget and the connect you with the caregivers on our team that we know will have the experience, skills, and personality to match your lifestyle.
how we help our clients stay Happier@Home wherever they call home
We build each of our custom care plans on 10 core principles for better care:
1 – Let’s Eat!
Assisting with Healthful Nutrition
Our caregivers help to provide tasty meals with lots of variety and balance to help our clients meet their dietary needs in a more manageable well-rounded way. We even work to balance comfort food and nutrition to keep things delicious and inviting!
6 – Staying Active
Helping Our Clients Get Moving
We help our clients stay as active as possible by doing the things that they’ve always enjoyed while introducing new opportunities for movement. We also encourage the movements and exercises recommended by other members of our clients’ care teams, like physical and occupational therapists.
2 – Staying Connected
Using Tech and In-Person Methods to Maintain Connections
We work to create new opportunities for social integration with our clients’ family and friends – both in person and remotely with the use of technology to prevent loneliness and isolation.
7 – Buddy in the House
Becoming a Real Friend
Our caregivers go the extra mile to share stories, talk about the news, and get involved in our clients’ favorite activities. This level of companionship, conversation, and activity help to bring life and energy into the home.
3 – Medication Management
Overseeing and Monitoring Clients’ Medication Intake
Our experienced caregivers help to oversee the daily ritual of taking the right medications, in the right dose, at the right time. In doing so, we can keep our clients, their doctors, and their family updated, confident, and reassured.
8 – Routine Flexibility

When we join your care team, we will help develop and maintain a comforting routine, while staying flexible to meet new needs. Our caregivers work hard to make their care more personal, flexible, and enjoyable for our clients.
