"Kindred Home Care provides home support services; that is, we provide support to individuals and families in the areas of personal care, activities of daily living, and home management. We work mainly with seniors, veterans, adults with disabilities and adults recovering from illness or injury. Further, we provide respite which allows partners and families a break from constant care. Home care also enables early release from hospital and delays the need for nursing homes.
Kindred Home Care also provides, to the Department of Social Development, family support services which aim to promote, maintain, strengthen and restore the well being of individuals and families."
