For many years, researchers have known that the buildup of amyloid plaques in the brain is heavily associated with Alzheimer's Disease. These plaques are abnormal buildups of sticky, toxic proteins between neurons, causing damage to the neurons over time.

Dust, mold, gaseous chemicals, and pathogens circulate throughout our dwellings and compromise our health. It's a concern for everyone, but especially those with compromised immune systems and the elderly.

What Our Clients Are Saying


"I reached out to Adult Home Care because they had taken care of my sister-in-law in her final days, and I only live in Cleveland 6 months of the year. I started out with half day care and later round the clock care. Melva Sherwood, a nurse and owner of Adult Home Care, worked closely with me and her staff to ensure Dawn's needs were always met. I recommend the services of Adult Home Care, which gave me peace of mind that Dawns needs were constantly met up to her passing away."
