Meet the people behind the care
Care Starts With Trust
SILK is owned by Ehren and Susan Lowers. Families are not handed off to a distant sales office. When you call, the conversation starts with real people who understand that home care decisions are emotional, urgent, and personal.
The goal is simple: help older adults remain safe, respected, and supported in the home they love while giving families a clear, dependable path forward.
Questions Families Ask Before Starting Home Care
These are the questions families usually need answered before they feel ready to call or schedule care.
What kind of care does SILK provide?
SILK provides non-medical in-home care, including personal care, homemaker support, companion care, respite care, dementia support, post-surgery support, and overnight or extended care when available.
Do you accept Medicaid or PASSPORT?
Yes. SILK accepts Medicaid/PASSPORT for eligible clients in approved service areas. Families can call to discuss location, eligibility status, current needs, and next steps.
Do you also accept private pay?
Yes. SILK works with private pay families as well. Private pay can be helpful when a family needs care quickly, needs extra hours, or does not qualify for Medicaid-covered care.
Can we talk with an owner before deciding?
Yes. That is one of SILK's main differences. Families can speak directly with Ehren or Susan before making a decision.
How fast can care start?
Start time depends on location, care needs, schedule, authorization status, and caregiver availability. The first step is a short conversation so SILK can understand what is needed.
What areas do you serve?
SILK serves families across Southern Ohio, with a strong focus on Gallia, Jackson, Vinton, and Pike Counties. Private pay availability may extend into additional nearby communities depending on the situation.
