It is a commitment to providing seniors with consistent, compassionate support so they can remain safely and comfortably in their own homes for as long as possible. At Lighthouse Home Care, our long-term care services are grounded in over 30 years of hands-on experience in senior care, right here in the Kearney and Northland communities. Unlike large agencies, our family-owned team brings a personal touch and real accountability to every home visit.

We understand the unique needs of families across Clinton, Clay, Platte, and Ray counties, and we are here to offer dependable support you can count on, day after day, year after year.

Trust is the foundation of long-term home care. We know families in the Kearney area are seeking more than a service, they are seeking peace of mind. Lighthouse Home Care stands apart with a three-decade legacy in facility-based and in-home care. Our owner, Maddie Diekmann, was raised in a caregiving family, learning firsthand the meaning of treating every client like family. This heritage translates to lower caregiver turnover, higher reliability, and a genuine commitment that national franchises cannot match. There are no weekly minimums, making it easy to start care even if you only need a few hours a week. Our caregivers are carefully vetted for safety and professionalism, and we use real local staff, not anonymous faces. We serve Kearney, Liberty, Plattsburg, and nearby communities with kindness, consistency, and a promise to honor every senior’s story.

Our long-term care services are designed to be flexible and responsive to each client’s changing needs. We provide help with personal care, bathing, grooming, mobility assistance, and medication reminders. Housekeeping, meal preparation including support for special diets, and companionship are all part of our regular visits. With a three-hour minimum per visit and 24/7 availability, families can arrange care that fits their schedules, whether that means daily check-ins or overnight support. Our team communicates directly with families, updating on changes in condition or needs. We understand that starting long-term care is a big step, so we offer a no-obligation, in-home consultation to answer questions and help you feel confident. Whether your loved one lives near Jesse James Park, in downtown Liberty, or in a quiet neighborhood in Plattsburg, our local caregivers are ready to help.

Choosing long-term care is an act of love. At Lighthouse Home Care, we honor that choice by delivering the same level of attention and respect to your family as we would to our own.
