Our Help in the Home Story

In 2008, Rayetta Michael and Stacy Derrick recognized a missing piece in the care of residents in group homes and psychiatric rehabilitation programs. Families were outsourcing parts of their loved ones care to agencies without mental health expertise and not providing the level of support people deserved. Finding a solution started it all!

The timing could not have been more perfect. Rayetta always wanted to own her own business, and Stacy enjoyed solving problems. There was a need to be met, and together, they created Help in the Home, LLC in November of 2008 to build a dedicated team of caring professionals unlike any other agency in the region.

We began with two houses, four clients and five staff. Vilma, our Client Service Administrator, has been with us from the very first day. She was praying for us before we even started! We are so thankful for Vilma and our staff who are like family and grow with us throughout the years. For example, Walter Alvarado, our Supervisor for SLC Managers, joined us as a volunteer in 2016 and has been with us for over two years. And Maura Kelly who started with us four years ago and has worked through the ranks as a part-time overnight staff, full-time care coordinator, and now as our Care Coordinator Supervisor.
