About A Little Home Help
Welcome to A Little Home Help, where compassionate care meets professional service. Our mission is to enhance the quality of life for our clients by providing exceptional companionship and support.
​
A Little Home Help is a family-owned local business run by husband-and-wife team Chris and Heather. Born out of a passion for helping others, our founder, Christopher Lipscomb, saw a need for dedicated, personalized care for older adults and people with disabilities.
Drawing on his decades of experience in the health care service sector, he wanted to create a companionship service that you can rely on, which puts the choices and dignity of his clients at the forefront and collaborates closely with each person’s support network and care team.
​
Our mission is to provide compassionate, client-centered care that promotes independence, well-being, and a sense of community. We believe in the power of companionship to transform lives.

From emotional support and personal care to medication reminders and exercise assistance, we offer a wide range of services tailored to meet the unique needs of each client.
