Overview of Patient Hands Home Care

Patient Hands Home Care runs out of Indianapolis, about 10 miles from downtown, and it’s been doing this for 11 years now under owner Carmen Merriweather. Walk Score for the area sits at 63; the area is moderately walkable, with a decent mix of things within reach.

Here’s what actually happens day to day: bathing, dressing, medication reminders, light housekeeping, laundry, the stuff that adds up fast when someone’s managing it alone. Dementia care is a real specialty here, not an afterthought, built specifically for clients living with memory loss. Companion care, respite care, and end-of-life support round out the rest, plus transportation, long-term care support, and temporary care for shorter-term needs. Scheduling flexes around what a given client actually requires.

Medicaid is accepted, which matters for families trying to figure out coverage before committing to anything. Twenty-five full-time staff work under this agency, which is a real team, not a handful of contractors stretched thin.

What Patient Hands offers is a genuine range wrapped in over a decade of operating history: daily personal care, specialized dementia support, and end-of-life care, all through one agency instead of three different providers. For a family navigating a loved one’s changing needs, especially where memory loss is part of the picture, that continuity, one agency across multiple stages of care, is the actual value here.
