Care with a name behind it.
Imperial Home Care is founder-led, Detroit-rooted, and personally accountable — that's what “by Ellice” means.
What “by Ellice” means
Care should come with clear accountability.
Families should be able to ask direct questions, understand the next step, and know who is responsible for following through. That is the standard Imperial is built to provide.
A care conversation starts with listening: who needs support, what daily routines matter, what schedule may work, and where a human decision is still needed. We would rather confirm a detail personally than make a promise the website cannot keep.
Mission, Vision & Values
What we stand for
Our mission: let Detroit seniors and adults with disabilities live safely and with dignity in the homes they love. Our vision: a city where growing older never means leaving home.
Dignity
Every client is treated like royalty — because respect is the foundation of care.
Transparency
Clear rates, written plans, honest answers. Even when the honest answer is 'not yet.'
Reliability
We show up. On time, as promised, with backup plans for our backup plans.
Warmth
Care you can feel — conversation, patience, and genuine affection for this work.
Community
Detroit is home. We hire here, serve here, and answer to our neighbors.
