Serving Newburyport, Amesbury, Salisbury, Newbury, West Newbury, Rowley, and surrounding North Shore towns.
Newburyport, Massachusetts
Staying in the home you love shouldn't mean going it alone. Howe to Help Home Healthcare provides compassionate, dependable in-home care for seniors and adults across Newburyport — from a few hours of companionship each week to overnight and around-the-clock support. Whether your family lives in the South End, up on High Street, out on Plum Island, or near Atkinson Common, we bring care to your door.
Newburyport is a city people don't want to leave. The walk down to Market Square, the boardwalk along the Merrimack, decades of neighbors on the same street — those things matter, and they are a real part of staying well. Our job is to make staying home safe and sustainable, for as long as that is the right choice.
We are a small, personal home care company by design. Founded in 2017 and serving Massachusetts since 2022, we have supported clients from ages 25 to 98 through a wide range of conditions and life stages. That scale is the point: families work with people they actually know, care plans get adjusted when needs change, and nobody gets handed off to a call center.
For many Newburyport families, the conversation starts after something changes — a fall, a hospital stay, a diagnosis, or the slow realization that a parent living alone near Joppa or Belleville isn't managing quite the way they used to. Wherever you are in that process, you can call and talk it through with us. There is no cost to ask questions.
How we can help in Newburyport
Every care plan is built around the individual — their routines, their preferences, and what they still want to do for themselves.
Hands-on help with bathing, dressing, grooming, hygiene, toileting and incontinence care, mobility assistance, transfers, and fall prevention. We support activities of daily living without taking away independence — helping where help is needed and stepping back where it isn't.
Isolation is one of the most underestimated health risks for older adults, especially through a North Shore winter when ice makes leaving the house genuinely risky. We provide real company: conversation, cards, a walk on the Clipper City Rail Trail when the weather allows, and help with video calls to family.
Patient, structured support for clients living with Alzheimer's, dementia, and other forms of memory loss. Familiar surroundings matter enormously with memory conditions, and consistent routines in a familiar Newburyport home often do more for orientation and calm than any change of setting could.
If you are the adult child driving up Route 1 or over the Gillis Bridge every day — or the spouse who hasn't had an afternoon off in months — respite care gives you room to breathe. A few hours a week, a standing weekly block, or coverage while you travel.
The days after a discharge from Anna Jaques Hospital or a rehab stay are when readmissions happen. We help bridge that gap with medication reminders, prescription pickup, meal preparation, mobility support, wellness and safety checks, and getting to follow-up appointments on time.
Rides to medical appointments, the pharmacy, the grocery store, the Newburyport Senior Community Center on High Street, church, or the library. We also handle grocery shopping and prescription pickup when getting out isn't practical. Giving up driving is hard; losing your independence doesn't have to come with it.
Nights are often the hardest part. We provide overnight care, wellness checks, and extended or around-the-clock coverage for clients who are not safe alone after dark, who wander, or who are recovering from surgery or illness.
When care shifts toward comfort, we work alongside your hospice team to support both the client and the family — presence, dignity, practical help, and relief at a time when families need it most.

Home care covers non-medical support — personal care, companionship, meals, transportation, and help with daily living. Home health generally refers to skilled clinical services ordered by a physician. Call us and we'll tell you plainly which one your situation calls for, even if that means pointing you somewhere else.
Yes. We provide overnight coverage and extended or around-the-clock care depending on caregiver availability and the client's needs.
