I believe the best place for seniors – and anyone needing recuperative care – is wherever they call home and sometimes that means accepting a little help. I’m Brandy Broadbent, the local owner of Home Helpers Home Care of Rochester, and I’d like to provide that help to keep people living independently by providing services like light housework, companionship, nutrition planning, walks, trips to see doctors, wellness calls and more.
Home Helpers Home Care is unique because of our comprehensive approach to care. Our system is
called Cared-4 SM , which provides the four necessary components to living independently. This
includes Personal Care and Companionship, Nutrition and Meal Planning, 24/7 Emergency
Monitoring, and Wellness Calls to help ensure medications and hydration are maintained.
I grew up in Oklahoma and decided to attend the Air Force Academy out of a desire to serve our incredible nation. After graduating from the Academy, I spent ten years flying helicopters, which included multiple deployments to Iraq and Afghanistan flying combat search and rescue missions.
Following my career in the Air Force, I looked for ways to give back to my community. First as a teacher, substituting in all grade levels and subjects in Nevada and Florida. Upon moving to Michigan, I earned my PhD in biomedical engineering from Wayne State University which prepared me to teach biochemistry at Oakland University before transitioning to becoming a commercial application scientist.
I’ve lived in Rochester for more than a decade and I decided I wanted to serve my community closer to home. My parents, who live in Cincinnati, are getting older and our family is dispersed all over the country. I know my parents want to age in place and, to do that, they will eventually need some kind of in-home care. That helped me realize that I could offer those kinds of services here in my own community.
Families looking for dependable, in-home care by employees who are fully trained, background checked, and insured can call Home Helpers for a free in-home consultation and safety assessment to help determine the right care for their loved ones. We also use a special process to match caregivers and clients once a care plan has been created.
Outside of work, I enjoy spending time with my two girls, Mikayla and Elise. I love watching them grow and discover their own dreams and passions. I am also a huge proponent of fitness and regularly attend CrossFit classes and go rock climbing.
Home Helpers is committed to providing excellent service to our clients while supporting our caregivers in a way that’s second to none. We work with clients in Oakland Township, Rochester, Rochester Hills, Shelby Township and the surrounding areas. I look forward to meeting you and your family!

Where do I start. I placed a phone call after hours in noticing this company with ratings which seemed very genuine in the reviews given. Our family was in need of services with in Home help for our Step Father. He has dementia. I left a message after hours with their answering service. To my amazement I recvd a return call back from Jennifer at Home Helpers. Jennifer coordinates care as a team with the Owner Debbie and is with you from start to finish. I knew immediately the company was a good fit. The office is available- answers the phone- returns calls- walks you thru in educating you of the process- provides solutions - seeks information- does their very best to provide the experienced fit for your loved one. The company provides training- incentives and finds ways ti make their days special. Most important the company knows their staff providing deep respect and care as well. Home Helpers company Owner Debbie went to the rehab facility to meet with my mom (she broke her femur) to see if indeed this could work together as a team for care. I came from another state to be here for my mom and realized it was more care that was ever imaginable. The company as a whole reassured us they would find a caring- experienced - compassionate and reliable caregiver. Well they did!!! A peace of mind has set in & comfort level began. A remarkable company in 2 locations that sets standards for their team- care givers and includes the home family to be part of all of it. May everyone experience a sense of calm even though there may be some storms during the process on this journey. He is a World War ll Veteran and he deserves the experience and quality of care this company has brought to their home. We now can focus on memories- moments and miracles moving forward. With Gratitude and so much more... Debbie Holzendorf
Read MoreI had the pleasure of working for Home Helpers of Clearwater, and I can’t say enough good things about this company. They truly care about both their employees and their clients. The office staff was always kind, supportive, and understanding. They were flexible with my schedule and worked with me whenever I needed adjustments, which made balancing work and family much easier. One of the things I appreciated most was being matched with wonderful clients. It was clear that Home Helpers takes the time to pair caregivers with clients where they can build meaningful relationships. I always felt respected, valued, and supported. If you’re looking for employment or care for your loved ones in Pinellas County I would 10/10 recommend them!

Read MoreMy aunt is 88 yrs young, had been diagnosed with dementia several years ago. There were a few adjustments she had to deal with once the diagnosis was made by her doctor, like having someone to drive her wherever she needed (after having her driver’s license revoked) but, she was still a very independent person, very engaging and she enjoyed her life. A few days after being discharged home from the hospital after having surgery for a bowel obstruction things took a rapid downturn. Although physically, she was recuperating just fine, her mentation took a nose dive. She needed constant supervision, to ensure she did things like grooming and dressing herself, reminding her to do things, simple things. This proved to be such a dramatic change and burdensome for just one person to do. As well as dishearten, caring for a loved one who was once very vibrant, to suddenly needing constant supervision, like that of a child. Home Helpers Home care was there to give assistance. Their (caregivers) proved to be trained and very professional handling the situation. They helped with my aunts’ care, her hygienic needs, ensured her medication regimen was adhered to. Importantly, the caregivers helped to engage her, stimulated her mentally, played children’s video games involving recognition of shapes and colors, numbers and words. It seemed to relieve some of the anxiety my aunt was displaying in other ways. They made us feel (family) feel comfortable and confident in their skills. We really made the right choice by choosing them to assist us in caring for my aunt. I would recommend them highly to anyone in this situation.
