Touching Hearts at Home – Fayette is locally owned and operated, combining the experience of owner Dianna Anderson with the resources of a national home care franchise that has been providing non-medical companionship, caregiving, transportation and homemaking services to seniors, adults with disabilities, and families battling illness since 1996.

We are committed to training our caregivers and providing the best in care to those affected by Alzheimer’s Disease and all forms of Dementia.

People deserve physical, emotional, and spiritual support and they will find that through Touching Hearts at Home.
