In-home senior care in Leelanau County
Leelanau County is where Independent Caregiver Services began. Joan and the original team worked with Sharecare of Leelanau for years before founding ICS in 2022, and many of our longest client relationships are on the peninsula.
Life out here is beautiful and remote in equal measure. When the nearest family member is an hour away and the nearest store is twenty minutes, a trusted caregiver who actually shows up isn't a luxury. It's what makes staying home possible.

Why local matters in Leelanau County
- Peninsula distances are deceptive: Northport to Traverse City is nearly an hour. Our caregivers are based locally, so visits are dependable rather than dependent on a long commute.
- We know the county's resources, from Leelanau County Senior Services to accessible spots along the bay, and we help clients stay connected to the community they love.
- Lake-effect snow closes peninsula roads first. Care schedules are planned around it, and our clients are never left wondering whether anyone is coming.
"After bad experiences with agencies that sent different people every day, ICS was a breath of fresh air. Our caregiver has been with Dad for over a year now."

Leelanau County home care questions
Which Leelanau County towns do you serve?
All of them. Suttons Bay, Northport, Glen Arbor, Cedar, Empire, Leland, Lake Leelanau, Maple City, and the surrounding townships. Leelanau is our home county and our deepest coverage area.
What is your history in Leelanau County?
Joan and the founding caregivers worked for years as independent contractors with Sharecare of Leelanau. When 2022 policy changes required referrals to go to established businesses, they formed Independent Caregiver Services so the families they served would not lose their caregivers.
Can you help a parent who lives alone in a remote part of the peninsula?
Yes. Regular caregiver visits are especially valuable for seniors living alone in rural Leelanau, combining practical help such as meals, medications, and errands with companionship and a consistent safety check-in for the family.
Do you offer end-of-life care in Leelanau County?
Yes. We provide compassionate comfort care and coordinate with hospice providers so your loved one can remain at home on the peninsula, surrounded by family and familiar views.
