The Menu

What I take off your plate

Every visit is shaped around your home and your routine — you choose what the day looks like.

Meal Preparation

Home-cooked meals planned, shopped for, and prepared in your own kitchen — dishes you actually like, made the way you like them.

Grocery Shopping & Errands

Groceries, pharmacy runs, post office, dry cleaning — the loop of stops, handled and put away.

Laundry & Linens

Wash, dry, fold, and put away — clothes, bedding, and towels handled with care, fresh for the week ahead.

Kitchen Reset

Dishes done, counters cleared, and the kitchen left the way a good kitchen should be — ready for the next meal.

Light Household Care

Tidying, organizing, plant care, and a light refresh of the rooms you live in — the little things that keep a house feeling like itself.

Companionship & Outings

A fun hang, a card game, a shared lunch or a walk together — genuine company, on purpose, visit after visit.

A gentle note, up front

Home Plate Care is a non-medical service. What I offer — cooking, household care, errands, and companionship — is not medical care, not a substitute for medical care, and not professional healthcare of any kind. "Professional" describes only the quality and consideration I bring to every visit. If you or a loved one needs medical support, medication administration, or any kind of clinical care, please look into a certified medical provider.

About

The person behind the plate

My name is Teresa Fogarty. I'm the eldest child of a large Italian household in New England, where caring for the home and the people in it was simply part of growing up — and I've been helping homes run with love ever since, for my children, my grandchildren, my parents as they began needing assistance, and many friends and neighbors. Much of my 30 years as a realtor was spent helping clients organize their homes, clear out clutter, and restore their spaces to look new again. Helping people is my passion. And cooking is my love language — as a young woman I was brought to Italy to train as a cook in a youth ministry in the countryside, an adventure that sharpened my skills and deepened my love of gathering people around a table, and the kitchen has been the heart of every home I've cared for ever since. Beyond the kitchen, I'm an avid painter, a quilter, and an artist at heart who loves taking on new creative projects — and nothing delights me more than hearing the life stories of the people I spend my days with.
