Asking for help is not easy. Havilah Cottage helps your loved one with bathing, dressing, and everyday activities at home, so daily life feels steadier. We care like family, and it starts with a conversation, whenever you are ready.
Care Built Around What Matters Most.
Our approach to care is guided by five core values: dignity, compassion, reliability, integrity, and excellence. We focus on understanding each person's needs, honoring their choices, and providing thoughtful support for individuals and families.
We honor every client as an individual.
We care like family.
We show up on time, every time.
Honest. Transparent.
Continuously train and improve.
Havilah Cottage caregivers provide respectful, hands-on assistance while protecting each person's privacy, dignity, and routines.
What this includes
Moving from room to room, standing up from a chair, getting to the table for a meal: these are the moments where a hand makes the day easier. Havilah Cottage caregivers give that help when it is wanted, and step back when it is not.
It is hands-on help, offered with the same respect for privacy, dignity, and routine that guides all of our personal care.
What this includes
No two households run the same way, so no two care plans should. Before care begins we sit down with you and your loved one to understand their needs, preferences, routines, and goals, then build the plan around what we hear and review it with you.
Needs change, and the plan changes with them. We stay connected with your family, review the care provided, and adjust as things move on.
What this includes
Needs are not constant. Some stretches ask more of a household than others, and the help that was enough before may not be enough now. Havilah Cottage caregivers can take on more of the everyday tasks while that lasts, and ease back as things settle.
The care plan moves with it. We review the care provided with your family and adjust, so the support matches where your loved one actually is rather than where they were.
What this includes
You call 210-277-8888 or send a care request, and we listen to what your family needs.
We meet with you and your loved one to understand their needs, preferences, routines, and goals.
We create a personalized care plan based on the individual's needs and review it with the family before care begins.
We match your loved one with a caregiver based on their needs, preferences, and care requirements.
We stay connected with your family, review the care provided, and make adjustments as needs change.
Personal care rarely begins with a crisis. More often it begins with a quiet difficulty that has been building for a while. These are the situations families bring to Havilah Cottage most often.
| Challenge | What it looks like | How Havilah Cottage helps |
|---|---|---|
| Accepting help | Bathing and dressing are private. Many people would rather manage alone than ask, long after it has become difficult. | Caregivers work at your loved one's pace, with respect for privacy, dignity, and routines. |
| Family at a distance | An adult child lives too far away to call in each day, and a phone call only tells part of the story. | We stay connected with your family, review the care provided, and welcome your input as things change. |
| Changing needs | A stretch arrives where the usual help is no longer enough, and a routine that worked stops fitting. | Caregivers take on more of the everyday tasks while that lasts, and the care plan is reviewed and adjusted. |
| Caregiver fatigue | The family member doing the caring is tired, with little room left for their own responsibilities. | Respite care gives family caregivers time to rest, manage personal responsibilities, or simply recharge. |
| Which kind of care | Families are not always sure whether they need hands-on personal care or companionship, and the two are often described in the same breath. | Personal care is hands-on help with bathing, dressing, and moving about. Companion care is conversation, activities, and outings. We talk it through before any plan is written. |
