Pontotoc County
In-home care in Pontotoc, Mississippi
Pontotoc is a short drive west of Tupelo, and we serve families across Pontotoc County.
Hodges Elderly and Disable Services provides non-medical in-home care to elderly and disabled adults in Pontotoc and throughout Pontotoc County.
A lot of families here have someone in the next town over who helps when they can. In-home care fills the days in between, so the person doing the driving is not carrying all of it alone.
We are not a franchise branch. Aaliyah Hodges founded this agency, hires every caregiver personally, and answers the phone when you call. If something is not working with your parent’s care, you are talking to the owner about it.

What we help with in Pontotoc
- Personal care
Bathing, dressing, grooming, and help getting safely in and out of bed. The daily things that get harder to do alone.
- Companion care
Someone in the house. Conversation, a shared meal, a hand of cards, and a person who notices when something is off.
- IDD and mental health support
Aaliyah spent eight years supporting adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities and mental illness before opening her own agency.
- Meals and homemaking
Cooking, laundry, dishes, and keeping the house in the condition they always kept it themselves.
- Errands and transportation
Rides to the doctor, the pharmacy, and the grocery store, with someone who walks in alongside them.
- Home and community supports
Daily help at home plus getting out into the community, for adults who need support to live independently rather than in a facility.
- Supervised living
A staffed home to live in, with someone there around the clock. A small household, not an institution.
- Behavioral supervised living
Supervised living for someone whose behavior needs a staff team trained specifically for it, working to a written plan.
- Behavior support for autistic adults
Working out what a behavior is actually communicating, then building a plan around it and training everyone who needs to follow it.
- In-home respite
If you have been the one doing all of it, this is the service that lets you sleep, work, or leave town without worrying. The caregiver comes to them, so nobody has to be moved.
