Why local matters in Antrim County
- The Chain of Lakes area draws retirees who love their homes and want to stay in them. Our care plans are built for exactly that: aging in place with support that grows as needs change.
- Antrim's villages are small and spread out, and transportation is one of the county's biggest gaps for seniors. Safe rides to medical visits and errands are a core part of what we do here.
- For families downstate or out of state, our regular family communication means you know how Mom or Dad is doing between your visits north.
- Antrim County Transportation's Dial-a-Ride helps, but its hours are limited; our caregivers fill the gaps with flexible, door-to-door help whenever an appointment or errand comes up.

My parents had the pleasure of receiving care through Independent Caregiver Services. Joan was so accommodating to meet with us and discuss our needs. She also did an excellent job coordinating and placing just the right caregiver, Laura, for my parents. Joan and Laura treated us just like family, which was so wonderful at an overwhelming time like that. They have the experience and compassion necessary when we need help with our dearest loved ones. I would definitely recommend them. Thank you Joan and Laura!

The director and all of the Caregivers from Independent Caregiver Services were responsive to my requests for help caring for my Mother with compassion and skill. I was able to have respite knowing that my Mom was safe and respected with the team. Forever grateful!
