Tale Circle Care: care at home, with a licensed nurse arranged when you need one. Talk with Circle, our helper, to find the right care.
Hi! I'm Circle.
Circle is an AI helper and can get things wrong. Please don't share medical details here.
Rather read it all yourself?
Everything Circle knows is written out here: who we are, the help we give, what we don't do and how to get started.
A note from Taly
I run Tale Circle Care so that older adults, and anyone who needs a hand with daily life, can keep living at home. Around their own things, on their own routines and with their dignity intact.
Our caregivers help with the practical parts of the day: washing and dressing, meals, the house, errands and some company. When care calls for a nurse, I can arrange a licensed one. And I'd rather be upfront than overpromise, so there's a section further down on what our caregivers don't do.
Before the first visit we sit down with you and your family, write the care plan together and agree on how you want to hear from us. If you're not sure we're the right fit, give me a call and we'll talk it through.

Getting started
Every client gets a care plan based on their own needs, preferences and abilities. This is roughly how we put it together.
- 1
Assessment
We start with an initial look at daily living needs, mobility and any safety issues around the home.
- 2
Your routines and preferences
We write down how the client likes their day to go, meal preferences, any dietary instructions and whether medication reminders are needed.
- 3
The written plan
The plan lists the tasks we'll do and the ones we won't, how often we visit and for how long, emergency contacts and who to call when, and how the family wants to hear from us.
- 4
Reviews
When needs change we review the plan together and update it.
What we don't do
These are the lines our caregivers don't cross, and we'd rather you know them before the first visit than find out during one. When care needs a nurse, we arrange a licensed one.
Clinical work goes to a nurse
Our caregivers don't insert catheters or do other clinical procedures. When care needs that, we arrange a licensed nurse, with the right authorization.
Reminders, not administration
We remind clients when it's time for their medication and help them get to the containers. We don't give medication, choose doses or change prescriptions.
Observation, not diagnosis
We notice and report changes. We don't diagnose, read clinical results, adjust treatment or offer medical monitoring.
Only safe lifts and transfers
Caregivers won't attempt a lift or transfer that's beyond their training, the equipment in the home or what they can safely do.
Company, not counseling
Companionship helps with social well-being. It isn't a substitute for mental health treatment.
Money and medical decisions stay with you
Caregivers don't make medical decisions or handle finances beyond small tasks you've clearly authorized.
Questions people ask us
If yours isn't here, call and ask. There's no such thing as a silly question about the care of someone you love.
