Care that comes
to the home they love.
Good Hands Personal Care helps older adults in Indianapolis keep living at home — with a steady hand for the bath, a real meal on the table, and someone to sit with in the afternoon. Non-medical care, given respectfully, on the schedule that suits your family.

Most families call once they are already worn thin.
That is usually the right time. One conversation, and something eases.
What a family is really asking for is peace of mind.
Around the clock
Care does not keep office hours. Call or text at two in the morning and a real person answers — that is what a 24-hour service should mean.
The owner answers the phone
You are not routed to a call center or a scheduler in another state. Ellis picks up, and Ellis is the one who shows up.
Arranged around your family
Visits are planned with you rather than assigned by a system. Mornings, evenings, a few hours a week, or more when things change.
The everyday things,
handled with good hands.
Most families start with one thing that has gotten hard — the shower, or the stairs, or dinner. Here is the full list. You only ever pay for the parts you need.

More on daily living supportPaying for care
We accept Medicaid — and we do the paperwork with you.
Good Hands Personal Care accepts Medicaid and Medicaid waiver funding for in-home care. If you are not sure whether your family qualifies, that is normal — most people have never had to look into it. Ellis sits down with the forms, explains what is being asked, and helps you get them filled in. Nobody should have to work it out alone.
Families can also pay privately, with no Medicaid or insurance involved — it is the quickest way for care to start.
Seeking care for a loved one
Ask about care for your parent or grandparent.
This form is for families arranging care for someone they love. Tell us what has become difficult and Ellis will call you back — usually the same day.
If it is easier to say out loud, call or text (317) 995-1802 at any hour.
More about requesting careGetting started is
three short steps.
No long intake packet, no sales visit. Just a conversation, a cup of coffee at the table, and a plan you agree with.
How it works, in more detail- 01
You call and tell us what is happening
A short conversation is usually enough. What has gotten hard, what the family is worried about, and what a good week would look like.

We meet at the kitchen table
Ellis comes to the house, meets the person you are caring for, and walks through the routines. No paperwork to sign before you understand the plan.
- 03
Care starts at your pace
Maybe a few mornings a week. Maybe just the bathing. You add more when it is needed, and you say so when it is not.
About the owner
Ellis Walker,
the person you deal with.
Good Hands Personal Care is Ellis Walker’s company. Not a franchise, not a branch office. When you call, you reach him, and when you have a question about what happened during a visit, you ask him.
The standard he holds the work to is simple enough to say: slowly, with the door closed and the person covered during a bath, with the same face turning up each week so nobody has to explain themselves twice.
We accept Medicaid waiver and private pay, and care is arranged around your family’s schedule — hours that suit you, a plan you agree with, and a phone that gets answered.
Now hiring
We are hiring direct care staff.
Patient, dependable people who are good company for an hour. Experience welcome, not required — Ellis trains the right person. Applications go straight to him.
Where we come to you
Based in Indianapolis and caring for families across the city and the communities around it. If you are not sure whether your address is in range, call and ask — that is a thirty second question.
