Muckleshoot Elders In-Home Support Services (MEIHSS) strives to provide excellent culturally relevant in-home healthcare and community based social services to individuals and families of the Muckleshoot Indian Tribe and community.  We are a tribally owned and operated in-home healthcare service.  An elder is qualified for services based on an interdisciplinary team assessment and may receive assistance with personal care, hygiene, cooking, cleaning, laundry, grocery shopping, mobility, transportation, nursing services and social services.

MEIHSS provides the highest quality support for elders of the Muckleshoot Tribe.  The purpose of the Muckleshoot Elders In-Home Support Services program is to allow elders who qualify for services under the program guidelines to remain safely in their homes by assisting with activities of daily living (ADLs) and providing culturally appropriate care in a setting that is familiar, comfortable, and surrounded by family and community.  When this option is not available, we provide bridge services within the community to ensure elders are supported when transitioning back to their homes as safely as possible.  We are the largest tribally-owned and operated in-home care agency of its kind in Washington, and perhaps the nation.  We believe this program is a model for indigenous elder care on a reservation.  MEIHSS works closely with Muckleshoot Adult Protective Services to protect, advocate, and safely provide care to our elders in their homes.  We encourage healing and recognize the importance of maintaining family connections.
