At Ease Home Care

200 E Campus View Blvd Ste 200, Columbus, OH 43235
Overview of At Ease Home Care

At Ease Home Care operates out of Columbus, Ohio, providing home care and respite care, run day-to-day by co-founder and Financial Administrator Sara Jenkins. Walk Score for the area sits at 35, somewhat walkable, but this is a neighborhood where most errands mean getting in a car.

Everything here happens in the client’s own home. Live-in care covers the full-time end of things for people who need someone there consistently. Personal hygiene assistance and companion care sit on the lighter end, helping with the daily stuff, plus someone to actually talk to. Mobility and transfer assistance matter for getting safely from a bed to a chair, which is not a small thing when it’s hard to do alone. Homemaking services round out the household side, and there’s a specific veterans’ care offering for clients with a military background.

What this agency isn’t: a facility, a building, anything clinical in the traditional sense. It’s non-medical, in-home support, full stop. That’s actually the whole value proposition for a lot of families: the option to keep someone in their own home instead of moving them somewhere else entirely.

At Ease Home Care reads as a straightforward in-home care agency built around flexibility: scale up to live-in care when needed, scale down to companion visits when that’s enough. For a client whose needs shift over time, that range is the practical thing that matters most.
