OUR NEW HOME · LEE'S SUMMIT
A 1928 bridge beam holds up the room where we'll train.
Our new training center at 603 SE 3rd St in Lee’s Summit sits on the property of the second client Sherri ever cared for as a private-duty nurse, thirteen years ago.
When the family understood our situation, they encouraged Sherri to buy the house. Inside the workshop the homeowner a retired electrical engineer and finance executive built in 1979, a steel beam salvaged from the original Osage River Bridge still anchors the room. We’re leaving it exposed.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Answers to common questions.
How quickly can you start care?
Typically within 7-10 days of the initial call. For hospital discharges, we can often start within 48-72 hours.
Do you accept VA benefits?
Yes. We are an approved provider for Aid & Attendance, the VA Community Care Network, and the Homemaker / Home Health Aide program. We also help with the application.
What if my parent doesn't like the caregiver we're matched with?
Tell the Family Ambassador. We re-match — there is no penalty, no awkward conversation. Personality fit matters too much to leave to chance.
What's the difference between in-home care and home health?
Home health is medical care (nursing visits, physical therapy, billed through Medicare). In-home care is non-medical caregiving (companionship, ADLs, transportation, meals). Many families need both — we coordinate with home health agencies and they coordinate with us.
Are caregivers W-2 employees?
Yes. Every caregiver is a W-2 employee of Aging in Place LLC. They are insured, bonded, background-checked, and HIPAA-trained. We do not use 1099 contractors.
What's the minimum number of hours per week?
There is no fixed minimum that fits every situation. We design the schedule around the family’s needs — which can be a few hours a week for companion care or 24/7 for late-stage dementia. The free in-home consultation is where we figure this out.
