Home Care in Centerville, OH
Support that helps older adults stay comfortable at home.
Dependable in-home support for older adults who want to stay safe, comfortable, and independent at home. From the historic streets off Far Hills Avenue to the newer neighborhoods across Washington Township, our Centerville home care is built around each family’s daily routines, personal needs, and changing levels of support.
When a Centerville Loved One Needs More Support at Home
Many Centerville families begin exploring home care when everyday routines start to feel harder for an aging parent to manage alone.
In-home support is often the first step when an older adult needs more help but not facility-based care. It covers personal care, meals, mobility, supervision, and the daily routines that are getting harder to handle alone.
For many Centerville families, that support starts with a few weekly visits and grows as needs change, expanding into overnight or 24-hour care if safety concerns deepen.
Home care is often helpful when:
- Daily routines like bathing, dressing, or meal preparation become difficult
- Balance changes increase fall risk, especially on the steps and uneven thresholds common in Centerville’s older homes
- Memory loss creates safety concerns or confusion
- A loved one is living alone and needs regular check-ins
- Overnight supervision is needed for reassurance and stability
“The service is outstanding from the owner to the caregivers on the ground.” -Rich V.

In-Home Care Services That Support Daily Life
Home care is a flexible form of support that can begin with just a few weekly visits and grow as daily routines become harder to manage alone. Some families start with help around meals, housekeeping, or companionship, then add personal care, overnight support, or 24-hour care as needs become more complex.

Why Centerville Families Choose Lavender Home Care
Lavender Home Care Solutions has cared for Dayton-area families since 2009, with more than 1,000 clients served and 15+ years of local experience. We are not a national franchise running a Centerville zip code from a call center. Our office is a short drive up Far Hills Avenue through Oakwood, and the caregivers who serve Centerville also support neighbors in Kettering and Washington Township. The people overseeing your loved one’s care are the ones you reach by name.
Here is what sets our Centerville care apart:
- Owner-led assessments. Founder Bernard Dalichau, who started Lavender after caring for his own grandfather, often handles the first in-home assessment himself and returns family calls after hours.
- The same caregivers, shift after shift. Every caregiver clears background checks, drug screening, and work-history verification, plus added training at no cost to you. Low turnover means a loved one near Uptown Centerville or Stubbs Park sees familiar faces, not strangers.
- Named people coordinating care. Scheduler Kelli Ruth matches caregivers to clients and Olivia Callicoat handles new-client assessments, so you always know who to call.
- Matched to personality, not just availability. We learn the small details, like how your loved one takes their coffee, so the match feels like family.
- Care that fits Centerville homes. We know the stone steps, narrow doorways, and uneven thresholds found in the older and historic homes across Centerville and neighboringBellbrook, and help longtime residents keep the routines that make this an Open Space Community.

What Home Care Includes and What It Does Not
Understanding this difference can help families compare home care with home health, assisted living, or nursing homes and choose the level of support that fits their situation best.
Non-medical home care focuses on practical, day-to-day support that helps seniors remain safe and independent at home.
In-home care may include:
- Personal care and hygiene support
- Mobility assistance and fall prevention
- Meal preparation
- Light housekeeping
- Companionship and supervision
- Medication reminders
This kind of support does not include:
- Skilled nursing or injections
- Wound care
- Physical, occupational, or speech therapy
These medical services are typically provided by licensed home health or medical providers. In many situations, non-medical home care works alongside medical teams to support daily routines and safety.
How Lavender Keeps Care Consistent and Accountable
Dependable scheduling and clear communication matter most for families coordinating care while juggling work, children, or responsibilities from another household. Beyond screening and matching the right caregiver, families need to know support stays coordinated and responsive when needs shift.
Lavender backs every care plan with:
- A care coordinator who checks in regularly and adjusts the plan as needs evolve
- Backup coverage to reduce the risk of missed visits
- Proactive communication whenever schedules, care plans, or caregiver assignments change
The result is in-home support that feels organized, responsive, and easy for families to rely on.

Questions Families Ask Before Bringing Care Into the Home
Care is billed hourly, and the rate depends on how many hours you need and the level of support involved. We walk through real numbers during your free assessment, so there are no surprises.
Medicare rarely covers long-term non-medical care, but many Ohio families use the PASSPORT Medicaid waiver, VA Aid and Attendance, or long-term care insurance. We can point you toward what you may qualify for.
Yes. We often step in after a discharge from one of the hospitals in nearby Kettering to handle daily routines, mobility, and safety while your loved one recovers at home.
We do. Along with Centerville, our caregivers support families in Kettering, Bellbrook, Springboro, and Washington Township.
