About Arcadia Home Care & Staffing

Arcadia Home Care & Staffing provides home care including personal care and assisted living at-home services as well as medical staffing and is a member of the Addus Family of Companies. For over 40 years, Addus HomeCare has been one of the nation’s top providers of personal home care and support services and is committed to providing high-quality, cost-effective care that gives people the freedom to remain in their homes.

The impact of illness or aging may present challenges to staying independent at home with the very basics of daily living: cooking, cleaning, shopping, doing laundry, toileting, bathing, dressing, walking, and driving. Without in home care and support, our loved ones may be at increased risk for falls, medication mismanagement, poor nutrition, and isolation which often result in overall decline in health and well being. However, with proper in home care, individuals may continue to thrive in the comfort of their own homes. At Arcadia, we believe people prefer care at home to other options when they need elder care, are ill, or are recuperating from surgery or hospitalization.

At no obligation or cost to you, Arcadia will verify your eligibility for home care benefits and help you design a care plan that is within your budget to meet your care needs.

Arcadia is proud of its long tradition of providing community based home care and health care staffing services with excellent caregivers and superior customer service.
