What Our Community is Saying
I have had an amazing experience with Interim.
They are always there to help out, answer any questions when you need them.
I've always been mega impressed with Interim. They have provided us with quality caregivers that are professional, proactive and efficient.
I am an administrator for a nursing home in the Salt Lake Area. We have been using interim for quite some time and they have been excellent partners.
I have worked with Interim Healthcare for almost 2 years. I can't imagine wanting to work for another company. The owner, Mike Hawkins, is always trying to do what is right for his staff and supports us in any way he possibly can.
Honestly, being a healthcare student and an employee of interim has been the best combination for me and my wife. This company offers competitive pay, resume building experience/ references, very flexible hours and undeniably friendly and respectful employers.
I cannot thank Mike and all of his sweet employees enough!!! It was last minute the weekend before Christmas and we needed a sitter through the night to make sure my 87 yo mom with dementia did not get out of bed after a partial hip replacement. She was in a rehab facility and they were able to come in and help keep eyes on her.
They will be the first people I call when my 81 year old mother needs assistance because it is her dream to remain in her own home for the rest of her life
I was impressed with interim from the first day. They have qualified staff that works well with my employees and our residents.
Mike and his team are Amazing! With the Help of Interim Health care and the other caregivers my grandmother has made an amazing turn in her health and is doing so much better. She is caring for herself and getting stronger each day.
What’s Happening
11 Hospitalizations in One Year… And No One Told Us How I’d Be Safe at Home
Mar. 12
If you’ve ever felt overwhelmed trying to keep someone you love safe at home, I understand more than you might think. A few years ago I was fighting brain cancer. During that year I was hospitalized 11 times. Some of those stays lasted weeks, so every time I was discharged my only goal was simple: Get back home.
But being home came with a new problem.
My balance was terrible.
My right arm and leg were weak.
Stairs.
Shower.
Toilet.
I wasn’t safe to be alone--everything was a threat.
Natalie was trying to do everything; run our business, manage our home, and make sure I didn’t fall when she wasn’t there. She was exhausted.
What still surprises me today is this:
Not once during those hospital visits did any of the professionals around us explain how we were supposed to keep me safe once I got home. No one talked about it.
Looking back, it’s amazing how many families face these situations without realizing that support at home is even an option.
Today Natalie and I run Interim Home Care here in Salt Lake City, Utah. One thing we try to do is simply make sure families know their options before things become overwhelming. That’s why we created a free Senior Care Decision Guide for families here in Utah. Inside we explain the six care paths families usually face, including a couple options hospitals rarely explain clearly.
Whether we ever work together or not, I believe the guide will help you think more clearly about what might make the most sense for your family. At the very least, you’ll understand the care options most families eventually face — before things become overwhelming.

We Guarantee to Make Your Life 93% Better in 6 Weeks
Mar. 11
When families in Salt Lake City, UT first begin looking for home care, they are often overwhelmed. They’ve likely spent weeks researching options, talking with friends, reading reviews, and worrying about whether they can truly trust someone to care for their parent.
We understand that hesitation.
Choosing home care is not just a service decision—it’s a deeply personal one. You are trusting someone to help care for the person who once cared for you.
That’s why at Interim Home Care Utah, we do something very few home care agencies are willing to do.
We offer a simple, straightforward guarantee:
If your life is not at least 93% better within the first six weeks of starting care, we will provide the 7th week completely free — no questions asked — so you have time to explore other solutions.
Why would we make a promise like that?
Because we believe great home care should make a dramatic difference in a family’s life.
When care is done right, families in Salt Lake City, UT often tell us the change is immediate.
The stress of trying to do everything yourself begins to fade.
You no longer worry constantly about whether your loved one is safe at home.
You’re able to return to being a daughter or son again instead of a full-time caregiver.
Professional home care should restore balance to your life—not add more worry.
Our team focuses on what matters most to families in Salt Lake City:
• Dependable caregivers who actually show up
• Immediate support when care is needed quickly
• Experienced caregivers trained to support dementia and neurological conditions
• A large caregiver roster so we can find the right match for your family
We also believe trust must be earned, not demanded.
That’s why we never require long-term contracts and why we stand behind our care with the 93% Better Guarantee.
If after six weeks you feel your life has not improved dramatically, the 7th week of care is on us — no questions asked — giving you time to explore other options while your loved one continues receiving support.
Families across Salt Lake City, UT deserve home care they can feel confident about. And confidence begins with knowing the agency you choose is willing to stand behind their promise.
If you are currently exploring home care options in Salt Lake City, we would be honored to talk with you and learn more about your situation. Sometimes a short conversation is all it takes to help a family see a clear path forward.

Mar. 10
Our Mission and Core Values: Why Families in Salt Lake City Trust Interim Home Care
At Interim Home Care Utah, our mission is simple:
Help families in Salt Lake City, UT keep the people they love safely at home.
Most seniors don’t want to move into a facility.
They want to remain in the home they know, surrounded by the memories, routines, neighbors, and community that make life meaningful.
But for many families in Salt Lake City, there comes a moment when doing everything alone becomes overwhelming.
A parent may begin falling. Dementia may begin affecting safety.
A hospital stay may leave someone too weak to manage daily life without help. That’s where our mission comes in.
We exist to help families bridge the gap between independence and safety—so aging loved ones can remain at home with dignity while families regain peace of mind.
But a mission statement alone means nothing unless it is backed by strong core values.
At Interim Home Care Utah, every decision we make is guided by a few simple principles.
Dependability
Families in Salt Lake City, UT call us during some of the most stressful moments of their lives.
When someone promises to help, they must follow through. We believe reliability is the foundation of trust.
Professionalism
Our caregivers represent not only our company, but the values of the families we serve.
We hold ourselves to high standards in training, background screening, and professional conduct.
Compassion

Our goal is to support independence so seniors in Salt Lake City can continue living life on their terms for as long as possible.

A Veteran Serving Veterans
Mar. 9
For many veterans in Salt Lake City, UT, accepting help later in life can be surprisingly difficult.
After a lifetime of service, independence, and self-reliance, asking for support often feels uncomfortable—even when that support has been earned through years of sacrifice.
At Interim Home Care Utah, we understand this deeply because our company was founded by a veteran who has personally experienced what it means to need help after a life of independence.
Our founder served four combat deployments and later faced a life-changing diagnosis of brain cancer that left lasting physical challenges. Adjusting to needing assistance after a lifetime of strength and service was not easy. That experience created a deep respect for the emotional journey many veterans face when health begins to change.
That is why veteran home care is not just another service we offer—it is a mission.
Many veterans in Salt Lake City, UT are eligible for home care benefits through the Department of Veterans Affairs but never receive them. In fact, a large percentage of veterans who qualify for VA home care services never apply simply because they are unaware the support exists.
Our team is proud to help veterans and their families navigate those benefits and access the care they have earned.
Home care can help veterans remain safely in the homes they fought to protect while receiving assistance with daily activities such as mobility support, meal preparation, personal care, companionship, and supervision for conditions such as dementia or Parkinson’s disease.
For many veterans in Salt Lake City, this support makes it possible to maintain independence while easing the burden placed on spouses and family members.
At Interim Home Care Utah, serving veterans means honoring their service not just with words, but with dependable care delivered with respect, professionalism, and gratitude.
It is one veteran helping ensure other veterans receive the dignity and support they deserve.

Need help now?
Mar. 2
Sometimes families don’t have weeks to plan.
A fall, a sudden illness, or a hospital discharge can leave families in Salt Lake City, UT scrambling to figure out how their loved one will safely manage at home.
In those moments, the most common question we hear is simple:
“Can someone help us right away?”
Unfortunately, many home care agencies first need to recruit caregivers before care can begin. That can create delays when families need support the most.
At Interim Home Care Utah, we operate differently.
Because of our background in healthcare staffing, we have built strong recruiting systems and maintain a large roster of caregivers ready to work. This allows us to respond quickly when families suddenly need help.
In many situations, we can dispatch a registered nurse for an assessment quickly and begin arranging care immediately.
Just as important, having a larger caregiver pool allows us to focus on finding the right match, which leads to more stable, long-term caregiver relationships.

24/7/365 Home Care Support

Dementia and Alzheimer’s Care
Feb. 16
Watching a loved one struggle with dementia or Alzheimer’s disease is one of the most difficult experiences a family can face.
For many families in Salt Lake City, UT, the early stages begin with small changes—forgetfulness, confusion, or difficulty completing familiar tasks.
Over time, those challenges can grow into safety concerns such as wandering, nighttime confusion, medication mistakes, or increased fall risk.
Families often find themselves trying to balance full-time work, raising children, and caring for a parent whose needs are becoming more complex.
At Interim Home Care Utah, we specialize in helping families manage these challenges while allowing seniors to remain in the comfort of their own home.
Our caregivers are trained to support individuals living with dementia, Alzheimer’s disease, and other neurological conditions, providing supervision, structured daily routines, mobility support, companionship, and personal care.
Just as important, our team understands that dementia affects the entire family, not just the individual experiencing the disease.
Professional home care can help restore balance by providing consistent support while giving family members the ability to return to their role as a son or daughter instead of a full-time caregiver.

Transition Home Care: Mom Discharges in 2 Days
Feb. 9
One of the most stressful moments for families in Salt Lake City, UT often happens when a hospital or rehabilitation center calls with discharge plans.
“Your mom is doing better. We plan to discharge her in two days.”
While that news is encouraging, it can also raise immediate concerns.
Will she be safe at home?
Who will help with meals, mobility, medications, or personal care?
What happens if she falls again?
The transition from hospital or rehab back to home is one of the most vulnerable periods in a senior’s recovery.
At Interim Home Care Utah, we help families manage this transition safely by providing short-term transition home care services.
Caregivers can assist with mobility, bathing, meal preparation, medication reminders, transportation to follow-up appointments, and general supervision while recovery continues.
Having professional support during the first days and weeks after discharge often reduces stress for families and helps seniors regain confidence and independence more quickly.
For many families in Salt Lake City, this short-term support becomes the bridge that allows their loved one to recover safely at home.

Respite Care: When Family Caregivers Need a Break
Feb. 2
Many families in Salt Lake City, UT quietly take on the responsibility of caring for an aging parent.
At first it may seem manageable—helping with groceries, checking in daily, or assisting with appointments. But over time, the responsibility often grows. Personal care needs increase, safety concerns appear, and the emotional weight of caregiving becomes harder to carry alone.
Many adult children begin to feel exhausted but hesitate to ask for help because they feel it is their responsibility to manage everything themselves.
This is where respite care can make a meaningful difference.
Respite care provides temporary in-home support that allows family caregivers to rest, travel, focus on work, or simply take time to recharge while knowing their loved one is safe and supported.
For families in Salt Lake City, respite care often restores balance. Instead of feeling overwhelmed by constant responsibility, family members can return to being sons, daughters, and spouses rather than full-time caregivers.
Even a few hours of professional support each week can significantly reduce stress while helping seniors remain comfortably at home.

96% of Seniors Want to Stay in Their Own Homes
Jan. 26
Nearly every senior has the same wish.
They want to remain in the home they know and love.
In fact, studies consistently show that about 96% of seniors prefer to stay in their own homes as they age rather than move to a facility.
For families in Salt Lake City, UT, this desire is easy to understand. Home represents independence, familiar routines, neighbors, pets, and the memories built over a lifetime.
However, as health challenges develop, many families begin to wonder whether remaining at home is still safe.
Mobility issues, memory loss, fall risks, or difficulty managing daily tasks can create real concerns.
Home care helps bridge that gap.
Professional caregivers can assist with daily activities such as meal preparation, bathing, mobility support, companionship, and supervision while allowing seniors to continue living in the environment that feels most comfortable.
For many families in Salt Lake City, home care provides a solution that protects both safety and independence.
It allows aging parents to remain where they feel happiest while giving family members peace of mind that someone dependable is there to help.

How Families in Salt Lake City Pay for Home Care
Jan. 19
One of the first questions families in Salt Lake City, UT ask when exploring senior care is simple:
“How do people usually pay for this?”
Many families assume that insurance will cover senior care services. Unfortunately, that is rarely the case. Most long-term senior care—whether it’s home care, assisted living, or nursing care—is not covered by traditional health insurance or Medicare.
Because of this, many seniors believe they only have one option: sell their home, move into a facility, and slowly deplete the equity they worked their entire lives to build.
For many older adults, that idea is incredibly discouraging. Their home often represents not just independence, but also the ability to leave something meaningful behind for their family.
The good news is that this is not the only option available.
Over the years, we’ve worked with many families in Salt Lake City, UT who discovered there are several ways seniors can remain in their homes while still accessing the care they need.
Some families use long-term care insurance, which is specifically designed to help cover in-home care services. Veterans may qualify for home care benefits through the Department of Veterans Affairs, which many families are surprised to learn can help pay for care at home.
Other families explore financial options that allow seniors to access home equity without selling their house, creating a monthly income stream that can help pay for care while allowing them to remain in the home they love.
Every family’s situation is different, but many are relieved to discover there are more options than they initially realized.
At Interim Home Care Utah, we frequently help families in Salt Lake City understand the resources that may be available to them so they can make thoughtful decisions about care, independence, and financial security.

Falls Are Deadly… and Most Are Preventable
Jan. 12
For seniors in Salt Lake City, UT, a fall can change everything.
Falls are one of the leading causes of serious injury among older adults. What begins as a simple slip can quickly turn into a broken hip, a hospital stay, or the loss of independence that many seniors fear most.
What many families don’t realize is that most falls are not random accidents. In many cases, they happen because of a few underlying issues that are often surprisingly simple to address.
One of the most common causes is a home environment filled with small hazards. Loose rugs, cluttered walkways, poor lighting, or difficult bathroom setups can quickly become dangerous obstacles for someone whose balance or strength has changed.
Another major factor is medication mismanagement. Many seniors take multiple prescriptions, and when medications are taken incorrectly or interact poorly, they can cause dizziness, confusion, or weakness that increases fall risk.
Dehydration and poor nutrition also contribute to falls more than many people realize. When seniors are not eating or drinking enough, their strength, energy, and mental clarity can decline rapidly.
Finally, many falls happen simply because someone tries to move without assistance—getting out of bed, walking to the bathroom, or navigating stairs without support.
This is where one-on-one home care can make a significant difference. A professional caregiver can help maintain a safe home environment, assist with medication reminders, ensure seniors are eating and drinking regularly, and most importantly provide steady support during movement when balance may be uncertain.
Perhaps the most important thing families should understand is this:
If a fall has already happened once, the chances of another fall increase dramatically.
The next fall could be far more serious.
For many families in Salt Lake City, bringing in a caregiver is not about taking away independence—it is about protecting it by reducing risks before a devastating injury occurs.

Falls are one of the leading causes of serious injury among older adults. What begins as a simple slip can quickly turn into a broken hip, a hospital stay, or the loss of independence that many seniors fear most.
What many families don’t realize is that most falls are not random accidents. In many cases, they happen because of a few underlying issues that are often surprisingly simple to address.
One of the most common causes is a home environment filled with small hazards. Loose rugs, cluttered walkways, poor lighting, or difficult bathroom setups can quickly become dangerous obstacles for someone whose balance or strength has changed.
Another major factor is medication mismanagement. Many seniors take multiple prescriptions, and when medications are taken incorrectly or interact poorly, they can cause dizziness, confusion, or weakness that increases fall risk.

Loneliness Is One of the Biggest Health Risks for Seniors
Jan. 5
Loneliness is one of the most overlooked challenges facing seniors in Salt Lake City, UT.
As people age, social circles naturally become smaller. Friends move away, health limitations make travel difficult, and family members often live busy lives balancing work and children. Over time, many seniors begin spending long periods of the day completely alone.
This isolation can have serious consequences. Studies have shown that chronic loneliness among seniors is strongly linked to depression, anxiety, cognitive decline, and declining physical health. Many seniors in Salt Lake City don’t necessarily need medical care. What they truly need is consistent human connection.
Companion care focuses on providing that connection.
A caregiver can spend time talking, sharing meals, helping with light household tasks, going for walks, attending appointments, or simply being present during the day. These small moments of companionship can have a powerful impact on emotional well-being.
Just as important, having someone regularly present provides an added layer of safety and reassurance for both seniors and their families. For many families in Salt Lake City, UT, companion care helps restore something that aging can slowly take away—daily connection and meaningful conversation.

Why Some Families Choose Home Care Instead of Assisted Living
Dec. 29
When families in Salt Lake City, UT begin exploring senior care options, they often assume the next step is moving into an assisted living facility.
But for many seniors, remaining at home is the option they want most.
Home care allows seniors to continue living in the place where their routines, memories, and independence already exist. They see the same neighbors, follow the same daily habits, and remain connected to the life they’ve built over decades.
This continuity can have a powerful impact on emotional well-being.
Moving to assisted living, on the other hand, can be a major life disruption. New surroundings, unfamiliar people, and an entirely different daily routine can make it difficult for many seniors to adjust.
Another important difference is how care is delivered.
With home care, seniors receive one-on-one support from a caregiver dedicated to them.
In assisted living communities, caregivers often support 12 to 50 residents at the same time, and staffing can become even thinner overnight. Because of this, falls and unattended incidents in facilities are unfortunately common.
Home care also allows families to try support without making a permanent life decision. Care can start with just a few hours per week and increase gradually as needs change.
For many families in Salt Lake City, this makes home care the least disruptive and most flexible way to provide support while protecting independence.

Will I Get the Same Caregiver?
Dec. 22
One of the first questions families in Salt Lake City, UT ask when exploring home care is:
“Will we have the same caregiver each time?”
Consistency matters. When seniors see the same caregiver regularly, trust builds naturally and daily routines become smoother and more comfortable.
The reality is that many home care agencies recruit caregivers only after they gain a new client. This can create delays in starting care and sometimes makes it difficult to respond when scheduling changes occur or a caregiver becomes unavailable.
At Interim Home Care Utah, we take a different approach.
We are always actively recruiting caregivers, which means we maintain a larger roster of available professionals. This allows us to respond quickly when families need care and gives us more flexibility if schedules need to change.
Having more caregivers also increases the chances of finding the right personality and schedule match for each client.
We work very hard to create consistent assignments whenever possible. However, caregiving is also a job, and caregivers must be able to work enough hours to support their own families.
The closer a client’s care schedule aligns with the number of hours a caregiver is looking for, the more likely that caregiver will stay long-term.
Our goal is always to create stable, dependable relationships between caregivers and the families we serve.
