Family-Owned Home Care in Kearney, MO

Lighthouse Home Care is built on a simple promise: treat every client like family. After three decades serving seniors in facility settings, the Diekmann family now brings their experience directly to the homes of older adults across Kearney, Holt, Liberty, Excelsior Springs, Lawson, Plattsburg, and Lathrop. Our mission is to help seniors age with dignity, stay connected, and remain independent, without the pressure or rigidity of corporate agencies. Every member of our team is selected for reliability and kindness, ensuring your loved one receives the same level of attention and respect we would give our own parents and grandparents.

More than a home care agency. We are your neighbors.

It is our privilege to care for the people who have made this community such a special place.

Maddie Diekmann’s childhood was spent learning from over 80 'grandparents' in her family’s nursing home. That legacy shapes how Lighthouse Home Care serves Missouri families today. With decades of experience supporting seniors through every stage of aging, we understand the emotional and practical worries that can come with bringing help into the home. Our difference is simple: owner-level accountability, consistent staff, and a genuine commitment to treating clients as part of our extended family. For families facing tough choices, we provide honest guidance, flexible care plans, and the peace of mind that comes from generations of doing the right thing.

Lighthouse Home Care isn’t a faceless franchise. We’re a locally owned business with deep ties to the Kearney and Northland communities. Brad and Maddie Diekmann have spent their lives supporting seniors, not just as a business, but as a calling passed down through generations. We know the roads, neighborhoods, and people of Clay County, Platte County, Clinton County, Ray County, and the surrounding towns. Our services are delivered by familiar faces, not a revolving door of strangers. When you call our office, you reach the Diekmanns directly. That’s how we keep our promise of personal care and accountability.

Choosing in-home care is about trust. While national agencies often focus on volume, Lighthouse Home Care focuses on relationships. We don’t require weekly minimums or long-term contracts, making it easier for families to get just the right amount of help. Every client receives a personalized care plan, whether for a few hours a week or around-the-clock support. Our staff are carefully selected for skill, reliability, and warmth. We’re proud to serve our neighbors in Kearney and the broader Northland region with honesty, respect, and the kind of care that only comes from decades of experience.
