Who We Are
Golden Lakes Home Help LLC is a Vermont-based home care company dedicated to helping seniors and their families navigate the challenges of aging with dignity, independence, and peace of mind. Founded on the principle that everyone deserves to age comfortably in their own home, we provide professional, compassionate care services that bridge the gap between independence and the need for support.
Our Mission: Keeping Families Together
At Golden Lakes Home Help, we believe that home is where the heart is. Our mission is simple yet profound: to provide exceptional non-medical home care services that enable seniors to remain safely and comfortably in their own homes while maintaining their independence and quality of life.
We understand that the decision to seek home care is often difficult for families. That's why we've built our entire approach around preserving family bonds, respecting individual dignity, and providing the support needed to keep loved ones where they belong – at home, surrounded by the memories, comfort, and familiarity that make life meaningful.
What We Stand For
Dignity and Respect
Every client we serve is treated with the utmost dignity and respect. We recognize that each person has a unique life story, personal preferences, and individual needs. Our caregivers are trained to honor these differences while providing personalized care that respects each client's autonomy and choices.
Family-Centered Care
We believe that families are the cornerstone of quality care. Our approach involves families in every aspect of the care process, from initial assessment to ongoing service delivery. We serve not just our clients, but their entire family system, providing support, communication, and peace of mind to everyone involved.
Professional Excellence
Our commitment to professional excellence sets us apart. We employ only Licensed Nursing Assistants (LNAs) who bring medical training, expertise, and professional standards to every interaction. This ensures that our clients receive the highest quality care from qualified professionals who understand the complexities of aging and health management.
Compassionate Service
Compassion is at the heart of everything we do. We understand that aging can bring challenges, fears, and uncertainties. Our caregivers provide not just practical assistance, but emotional support, companionship, and genuine care that makes a real difference in our clients' daily lives.
Community Connection
As a Vermont-based company, we're deeply connected to our local community. We understand the unique challenges that Vermont families face, from harsh winters to rural geography, and we've tailored our services to meet these specific needs. We're not just a care provider – we're neighbors helping neighbors.
