Our services
Support for every kind of independence
Everyone's version of "living well" looks different. These are the ways we help people get there — at home, in our homes, and out in the community.
In-Home Care
Help at home with the things that make independent living possible — personal care, meals, housekeeping, companionship, and more. A few hours a week or up to 24/7.
Residential Living
Community-based residential homes across the Fox Cities — including Appleton — with caring staff and support matched to each person.
Community Employment
Community Employment Services (CES) helps people with disabilities find real work in their community — and keep it.
Caregiver Training
State-approved classes through the Clarity Care Training Institute, including CNA certification — training caregivers since 1988.
Day Services & Respite
Day programs, youth services (CLTS), and respite care that gives families a break while their person is in good hands.
Family & Friends Program
Family members and friends can become paid caregivers for someone they already love — with Clarity Care handling training and support.
Funding is usually easier than people expect
We regularly work with IRIS, Managed Care Organizations, private pay, and other funding sources — and we'll help you sort out which path fits your situation before care starts.
Getting started
How care starts in four steps
- 1
Reach out
Call, text, or send the form below. Tell us who needs care and what a good week looks like for them — that's all we need to start.
- 2
We talk it through
A real conversation about needs, routines, and goals — what help is wanted, what's not, and how independent your person wants to stay.
- 3
Funding gets sorted
We work with IRIS, Managed Care Organizations, private pay, and more. We help you figure out which path fits before anything is signed.
- 4
Care begins
A care plan built around the person, caregivers matched to them, and support that can grow — from a few hours to 24/7.
Choosing care
Choosing care for someone you love
It's one of the harder decisions a family makes. A few honest things we've learned helping families through it since 1972:
Start with the person
Before services and schedules, picture a good week: where they live, what they do, who they see. The right care is whatever protects that.
You can start small
Care doesn't have to mean a big change. A few hours of help at home, day services, or respite for a family caregiver are all real starting points.
Know the funding paths
Most care here runs through IRIS, Managed Care Organizations, or private pay — not out-of-pocket sticker shock. Ask before you assume it's out of reach.
Family can be the caregiver
Through the Family & Friends program, people already close to your loved one can become their paid caregiver — with training and support behind them.
Ask who shows up
Care is only as good as the backup plan. With 550+ trained team members, coverage when someone's sick or a schedule shifts is part of the design.
Visit before you decide
For residential living, see the homes and meet the staff. Openings change often — ask what's available in the Fox Cities right now.
