Our non-medical care is designed to promote independence, safety, and quality of life — while giving families peace of mind.
🌿 Why Non-Medical Care is So Important for Karenni Families
For many Karenni families, caring for loved ones at home is a way of honoring tradition.
However, caring for someone full-time can become overwhelming, especially when balancing household activities, work, and family life.
Rainbow Home Health Care offers a solution: providing non-medical help that feels like an extension of your family.
Our Karenni home health care services respect the language, customs, foods, and spiritual values important to Karenni elders and families.
We believe:
Language matters: We can connect you with caregivers who speak Karenni or understand cultural traditions.
Home is best: We help clients stay in their primary residence, surrounded by family and community.
Family caregivers deserve support: Our respite care and daily help lighten the load for those providing care at home.
