If the stairs, getting dressed, or keeping up with the house have gotten harder for someone you love, a caregiver can come to their home in Shaker Heights and help with exactly those things.
Perma Homecare is a non-medical home care agency. Our caregivers come to your loved one’s own home for two kinds of help.
Personal Care — bathing, dressing and grooming; mobility assistance, including safe transfers and walking support; toileting and incontinence care; and medication reminders.
Homemaking — light housekeeping, laundry, meal preparation, errands, transportation and companionship.
Visits run from a few hours a week to every day. Call (216) 539-0305 or request a Free Care Assessment — a conversation, not a commitment.
Our office is in Cleveland, about ten minutes from Shaker Heights, and the person who answers the phone is the person who arranges your care. Whenever possible we keep the same caregiver on the same schedule.
We are non-medical: no nursing or skilled medical care, and no 24-hour or live-in care. We say that up front so you can tell quickly whether we are the right fit.
Most of Shaker Heights was built in the 1920s and 1930s, and the houses show it: second-floor bathrooms, staircases that turn at the landing, laundry still down in the basement. Beautiful homes to grow old in, and awkward ones to grow frail in.
A caregiver who knows that plans around it — morning help in an upstairs bathroom, a steady arm on the stairs of a Fernway Colonial, laundry carried up from a Moreland basement so nobody is on the steps with a full basket.
We also drive: appointments at University Hospitals Ahuja Medical Center or South Pointe Hospital, the pharmacy, groceries at the Van Aken District, the Nature Center at Shaker Lakes on a good afternoon.
Cost depends on how many hours a week and which kind of care. You get an exact figure at the Free Care Assessment, before anything starts, and the assessment itself is free with no obligation to book care.
All nine neighborhoods — Boulevard, Fernway, Lomond, Ludlow, Malvern, Mercer, Moreland, Onaway and Sussex — plus nearby Cleveland Heights, Beachwood and Cleveland. See all of our service areas.
Yes. Our office is open Monday through Friday, 9:00am–5:00pm, and caregiver visits can be scheduled outside those hours. We do not offer 24-hour or live-in care.
No. We provide personal care and homemaking only. If your loved one needs skilled nursing, we will tell you so rather than take the booking.
Whenever possible, yes — the same caregiver on a regular schedule. A familiar face in the home matters more than almost anything else.
Call (216) 539-0305 and we will arrange a Free Care Assessment. After that we move quickly to get care started.
