HSU Teams with Food Pantry to Help During COVID-19 Pandemic
Home Services Unlimited (HSU) is rapidly mobilizing to meet the needs of its community. Over several weeks, HSU has combined forces with Pike Medical Consultants, Team Rehab, and Fay Biccard Glick Neighborhood Center to improve health in Pike Township.
We have mobilized our resources to address the role of hunger in health status. Home Services Unlimited is pleased to support the Indy Hunger Network food pantry sponsored by Fay Biccard Glick Center in the delivery of food to our most vulnerable and homebound senior community neighbors. HSU has organized a Collection Food Drive for the Indy Hunger Network. We are also donating staff to assist in deliveries to the homebound recognizing the extreme hardship vulnerable individuals face resulting from limited or no access to vital support.
On behalf of the Indy Hunger Network and Fay Biccard Glick Center, HSU is accepting donations of canned and packaged food and personal items…
(items of greatest need marked with *):
- Dish Soap*

Please feel free to drop off any donated items to the HSU office located at 7750 N. Michigan Road during business hours (8 am – 5 pm). Please join us in this important project. All business donors will be acknowledged.
We would also be delighted to add any homebound seniors to our roster.

As a practicing Registered Nurse, Etelka was keenly aware of a void in quality patient care that could be provided in the home. She embarked upon a journey to develop a home health care agency that would exceed all expectations and become a trusted partner to physicians and patients.
A Distinguished Career From Nurse to Director of Nursing to President of Home Services Unlimited
Etelka’s distinguished career followed a logical progression to her position as President of Home Services Unlimited. She graduated as a nurse practitioner with a Bachelor of Nursing (RN) in 1972 from Meshgorya University in the Ukraine, close to where she lived with her family. She married her husband Phil in 1973 and decided in 1977 that they would relocate to the United States to be closer to family and to come to this land of opportunity. With an eagerness to continue her budding career, Etelka sat for and passed her Boards in the U.S. in 1979.
A Love and Talent for Working with the Elderly
Etelka began her nursing career in the U.S. at Colonial Crest, now part of Golden Living, where she was the In-service Coordinator, the Director of Training and Education and Director of Nursing, a position she occupied for several years.
With a group of partners, she co-founded Adept Corporation, which operated group homes for the mentally challenged. The business was successful and in 1996, Etelka sold her share to return to her roots, caring for the elderly.
In January of 1997, Etelka opened Home Services Unlimited as a fully licensed business to provide home health care. In her quest to learn to do better for her patients, she had already obtained a Masters in Healthcare Administration (MHA) in May of 1990 from the College of St. Francis. As President of Home Services Unlimited, Inc., Etelka guides the trusted, experienced care model Home Services Unlimited uses to continue providing excellent home health care.
Giving Back to the Community of Indianapolis
Volunteering for community services is a high priority for Etelka. Her memberships include the Indiana Association of Rehabilitation Facilities, Executive Women in Health Care and the Indiana Association for Home and Hospice Care, where she is a member of the Board of Directors.
Etelka has also served on the Board of Directors with Hooverwood Home, a highly regarded geriatric facility, since 1997 and as the President for 2005-2006. Through her community work, she has received several awards and accolades, including the Nora McFarland award in 2002, from the Indiana Association of Home and Hospice Care.
