Who We AreThe Caring Friends Story

We got our beginnings helping the community of Superior, Nebraska with our Assisted Living Facility, Kingswood Court. In April of 2018 and for many months after, the need for in-home caregivers from a trusted senior care provider grew. We now proudly serve the majority of southern Nebraska’s counties with customized in-home care.

Caring Friends In-Home Care helps seniors and homebound clients stay safe in their home. Our care team understands the challenges many clients face and will help you navigate the road ahead. Whether it’s preparing a meal or individualized in home care, we will be there for you.

Exceptional in-home care is something we never compromise on. With decades of experience, our professional teams will ensure that your safety and well-being come first.
