Led by Kiley Cobb

Compassionate Help for Everyday Life

Kiley’s care is grounded in her Certified Nurse Aide (CNA) licensing and registration, along with BCLS (Basic Cardiac Life Support) and AED training. She pursued these credentials to bring informed, attentive support to people at home. She leads HandiCare’s non-medical care services — medication reminders and organization, companion visits, cleaning and everyday assistance — with a focus on comfort, dignity and safety within her authorized scope.

Training with purpose

Credentials that shape Kiley’s care

Kiley pursued her CNA licensing and registration, together with BCLS (Basic Cardiac Life Support) and AED training, to bring a stronger foundation of safety awareness and attentive personal support to her work. These qualifications are an important part of how she serves families — with respect for each person’s needs and clear professional boundaries.

CNA credentials and life-support training do not, on their own, authorize nursing services or oral or IV medication administration. HandiCare offers medication reminders and organization following the prescriber’s written plan, not dispensing, administration, IV bag setup, or decisions about doses or intake requirements. Any additional clinical service would require verification of the specific credentials, legal authorization and applicable North Carolina requirements before it could be offered.

How her training shows up in a visit

What does Kiley's CNA training add to her care?

Her CNA licensing and registration mean she has been trained and tested in the fundamentals of personal support — safe moving and handling, hygiene assistance, keeping a clean and hazard-free home, noticing changes in how someone is doing, and writing down what she sees. That training shapes how she works; it does not turn a caregiver visit into nursing care.

Why does BCLS and AED training matter at home?

If someone collapses or stops breathing, Kiley can act immediately — call 911, begin CPR and use an AED until emergency responders arrive. It is emergency response training, not a clinical service she provides during ordinary visits.

Does her training allow her to give medication or perform clinical tasks?

No. Medication reminders and organization are the limit. Kiley does not dispense or administer medication, set or change doses, or provide nursing, wound-care or IV services — those stay with you, your family or a licensed clinician.

How does all of this help my family?

You get help from someone trained to keep you safe, alert to the small changes that often come first, and honest about her limits. When something needs a clinician's attention, Kiley records it and tells your prescriber or care team right away.

In practice

What a visit actually looks like

Four shapes a visit can take, from a 30-minute evening check-in to a half-day of help. Names and times are illustrative — every plan is built around you.

A morning pillbox visit

Daily or nightly · about 45 minutes

Ruth, 82, lives alone and wants to stay that way. Kiley’s morning visit keeps her medicines straight and her morning from feeling empty.

  1. 9:00Kiley lets herself in and spends a minute just checking how Ruth is doing
  2. 9:05She fills the week’s pillbox from the bottles her pharmacy sent, following the list the prescriber wrote
  3. 9:15Ruth opens her own bottles and takes her own doses while Kiley keeps the boxes and notes what was taken
  4. 9:25Coffee and conversation; Kiley writes down the sore ankle Ruth mentions
  5. 9:40A message to Ruth’s daughter: morning went well, and here is the thing to ask the doctor about

Reminders and organization only — Ruth handles her own medication.

  • Caregiver & Companion Services

A cleaning and laundry visit

Weekly · two to three hours

Glen’s house stays the way he likes it, but the work has become too much. Kiley works around his afternoon nap, not the other way round.

  1. 1:00Kitchen first — dishes, counters, the stove he can no longer reach comfortably
  2. 1:45A load of laundry started, then the bathroom while it runs
  3. 2:30Bed linens changed and cushions straightened, nothing moved without asking
  4. 3:15Laundry folded and put away, recycling to the curb, a note left on the counter

All-natural to traditional cleaners — you choose what she uses.

  • Cleaning Services
  • Household Help

Errands and an appointment ride

As needed · a couple of hours

Margaret’s daughter lives two states away. On the days she cannot drive, Kiley covers the list and gets her home again.

  1. 10:00Prescription picked up at the pharmacy and the receipt kept for the family
  2. 10:20Groceries from the list on the fridge, nothing substituted
  3. 11:00Dropped at the clinic, then Kiley waits in the lobby
  4. 12:15Home again, bags put in the cupboard, and a message to the family with the next appointment date

Kiley drives and waits; the appointment itself stays between you and your prescriber.

  • Errands & Everyday Assistance

An evening check-in and pet care visit

Nightly · 30 minutes

Eddie is in a hospital rehab stay, and his dog cannot be left. Kiley’s nightly visit covers the animal and the house.

  1. 7:30Walk, fresh water, food, and the litter box cleaned out
  2. 7:50Porch light checked and the hallway rug flattened — the trip hazards she watches for
  3. 8:00Stove confirmed off, doors locked, and a short message to Eddie: all is well

Dogs, cats, horses and other animals — daily, nightly or weekly.

  • Home & Lifestyle Support
  • Caregiver & Companion Services

Kiley is a licensed, registered Certified Nurse Aide (CNA) with BCLS and AED training.

First visit guide

What to expect on a first visit

A plain look at how a first non-medical support visit goes — before Kiley arrives, while she is there, and after she leaves.

  1. 1

    Before

    Before the first visit

    We start with a conversation, not a clipboard. Tell us who needs help and what a normal day looks like.

    • A short call or message to learn the routine, the home and what matters most to you
    • You tell us what to watch for — mobility, memory, likes, dislikes and who to contact
    • We agree on days, length of visit and the exact kind of support, in plain words
    • Medication reminders and organization are set up from the plan your prescriber writes
  2. 2

    During

    While Kiley is there

    The first visit is deliberately unhurried so you can see how she works before anything becomes routine.

    • She arrives, introduces herself and listens before taking over any part of the day
    • She follows your routine and your home, not a checklist written somewhere else
    • Support stays in scope: reminders, organization, companionship, household help and errands
    • She keeps a simple record of what she saw and anything worth passing to your care team
  3. 3

    After

    After she leaves

    You should never be left wondering how the visit went. The plan stays flexible as things change.

    • A short update after each visit — what was done, how it went, anything to note
    • We adjust hours, tasks or frequency as needs change, up or down
    • If needs grow beyond what she can provide, you hear it early and she helps with next steps
    • One point of contact for questions, changes and scheduling — no runaround

Every visit stays within Kiley’s non-medical scope. She does not dispense or administer medication, set or change doses, diagnose conditions, or provide nursing or IV services.

Notes

Anything else Kiley should know before she arrives.

This list is for non-medical support. Kiley does not dispense or administer medication, set or change doses, diagnose conditions, or provide nursing or IV services — she works from the plan your prescriber writes and keeps to her Certified Nurse Aide scope.

If plans change

Cancellations & rescheduling

Plans change — illnesses, family, weather, a doctor’s appointment that runs long. Here is exactly what happens when they do, so nobody is left wondering about a charge or an awkward phone call.

  • A day’s notice is all we ask
  • No charge for a cancelled visit
  • Missed visits can be made up

Give a day’s notice when you can

Tell us a day ahead and we move the visit at no charge — same week, same time, or whenever suits you better.

Same-day changes

Call or text as soon as you know. We will try to move the visit or make it up later in the week, and you are not billed for a visit that did not happen.

If Kiley is running late

You will hear from her before the visit is due to start, with a new arrival time. If the wait is too long, you choose: wait, reschedule, or cancel at no charge.

Sickness, weather and emergencies

Both sides understand. Visits lost to illness, bad roads or a family emergency are rescheduled, not charged.

Pausing a regular visit

Recurring visits can be paused and restarted any time — a month away with family, a hospital stay, a busy season. Just say the word and we pick it back up.

Stepping back

If care stops being the right fit, or needs grow past what Kiley can provide, tell us plainly. We will help you plan the next step, including bringing in a nurse or agency.

Tell us the way that is easiest — a call, a text or an email is all fine. If you cannot get through, leave your name and a good time to call and you will hear back the same day.

Care inquiry

Request Medication Reminders or Organization

Tell us a little about your loved one and what would help. Kiley will follow up personally.

Care inquiry: medication reminders and organization

Please note: this form is for non-medical support only — medication reminders and organization that help your loved one follow the plan their prescriber writes. Kiley does not dispense or administer medication (by mouth or IV), prescribe or change doses, diagnose conditions, or provide nursing or other clinical services.

Care page FAQs

Common questions about what Kiley can and can't do

Plain answers about the non-medical support she offers and where the line sits.

What kind of help does Kiley provide?

Non-medical personal assistance: companion and check-in visits, senior and everyday household help, cleaning and laundry, errands and rides, pet care, and medication reminders and organization that help you follow the plan your prescriber writes.

Can Kiley give me my medication?

No. She can remind you, keep doses organized and clearly labelled, and help you stay on schedule — but she does not dispense or administer medication, by mouth or by IV. That has to come from you, your family or a licensed clinician.

Can she tell me what dose to take, or whether a medication is working?

No. Dose and treatment decisions belong to your prescriber, and Kiley won't adjust, interpret or give opinions on them. She is glad to write down what you're noticing and pass it along to your prescriber or care team.

Does she do wound care, injections or nursing tasks?

No. Kiley is a licensed, registered Certified Nurse Aide (CNA) with BCLS and AED training — not a nurse. Wound care, injections, IV services, nursing assessments and diagnosis sit outside her scope.

What happens if my needs grow beyond what she can do?

You'll hear it from her honestly and early. She works alongside your care team and can help you and your family plan the next step, including bringing in a nurse or agency when the situation calls for one.

Is she insured, and what areas does she cover?

HandiCare Home Solutions is licensed, certified, registered and insured, and Kiley's CNA licensing and registration are current. She serves Franklin, North Carolina and the surrounding Western North Carolina communities.
