Keeping the people we love at home, longer.
This past week’s Westside Referral Builders member highlight is Jane Ripberger, owner of Home Instead – West Side Cincinnati.
Jane is a lifelong West Sider, a former nurse, and has spent more than 40 years caring for aging adults. This isn’t just a business for her — it’s work she genuinely has a heart for.
Home Instead helps older adults stay safe, comfortable and independent in their own homes, while also giving family caregivers some much-needed support.
Their Care Pros can help with things like:
• Bathing and personal care
• Light housekeeping and meal preparation
• Transportation and errands
• Companionship
• Dementia and memory support
• Respite care so family caregivers can take a break
And here’s something many families may not know: through Medicare’s GUIDE Model, some people living with dementia may qualify for up to $2,500 per year in respite services, depending on eligibility.
Sometimes staying at home doesn’t mean doing everything alone. It just means having the right help.
We’re proud to have Jane and Home Instead as part of Westside Referral Builders.
