Kennedy Care

Kennedy Care was established in 2003 in response to the need for a higher level quality in the home care field in Southeast Michigan. Our agency was founded by a desire to meet and exceed the needs of the elderly, disabled, and chronically ill individuals in the area who wish to remain in their homes, but cannot continue to stay in the home environment without assistance. In 2014 Kennedy Care expanded to offer in-home child care in addition to the existing senior care. From humble beginnings, Kennedy Care has emerged as one of the most trusted names in home care in Michigan. Our dedication, accessibility, and focus on caring for our clients, their families, and our staff have been the reason for our success today. Kennedy Care is committed to promoting you or your loved one’s strength and independence – spiritually, emotionally, physically, and mentally. We offer companionship, assistance with personal care, and provide motivation with a desire to serve your family in the comfort and security of your home.
