Care that fits
Real help, a few hours at a time.
Most families start with two or three visits a week. A caregiver helps with the things that have gotten hard, keeps your parent company, and sends you a short note when they leave.
Dementia care and respite visits are at least 4 hours. Overnight and 24-hour care are booked in shifts. Every rate is on the pricing page.
Coming home from hospital
Dad comes home from the hospital on Friday. Now what?
Call us as soon as you know the discharge date. When we have caregivers free, care can often start within 24 to 48 hours.
- The ride home, with the new prescriptions picked up on the way
- Help with the shower, the stairs and the bathroom for the first weeks
- A note every day, so you know how it's going from wherever you are
Why families choose Hollyhock
Many of our families live far from Mom or Dad. So we send the same small team every week, write a note after every visit, and answer the phone ourselves.

We match a caregiver on skills, schedule and personality, and introduce them before the first visit whenever we can.

Step 4: Care starts, and we check in
You get a note after every visit and a care manager check-in in the first two weeks. Change the schedule any time.
A quick check
Is it time for a little help?
Tick what's true for your parent right now. There's no score to pass or fail. It's a way to see the whole picture in one place.
This isn't a medical test. If something changed suddenly, call your parent's doctor first.
Tick any that apply.
One or two of these is common. Keep an eye on it, and call us any time if you'd like to talk it through.
Several of these at once usually means a few hours of help a week would make home easier and safer. It doesn't mean your parent can't live at home. A free assessment is a no-pressure way to find out.

The visit notes are why I sleep
"I live in Denver and Mom lives alone in Middleton. Every morning visit ends with a note: what she ate, how the shower went, whether she seemed like herself. Twice the caregiver noticed something before I would have."

Someone was there the next morning
"Dad was discharged on a Friday afternoon. I called at 2 pm and a caregiver was at his house Saturday at 9. She'd already picked up his prescriptions. I flew home Monday knowing he wasn't alone."

She speaks my mother's language
"My mother is more at ease in Hmong now than in English. They matched us with a caregiver who speaks it, and the hard afternoons have gotten much calmer."
