You have the freedom to select your caregiver.

We will never “randomly” assign a caregiver to your family. We diligently work to carefully match each client and caregiver and encourage your participation in this selection process. We understand that a true companion must share similar interests with your elderly parent and understand their physical and emotional needs. We make our caregiver recommendations based on the customized care plan we develop together, as well as the individual skills and strengths of our caregivers. Certainly, the final decision is always yours; if for whatever reason your family isn’t satisfied with your caregiver, we will assign another until you are completely satisfied. We pride ourselves on the ability to provide an individual caregiver for each senior client. Your loved one will enjoy the benefit of a trusting relationship and continuity of care.

Excellent communication is vital to a satisfying and beneficial relationship.

We begin our in-home care services by establishing a clearly defined pattern of communication.  And even after our in-home caregiver has been placed in the home, our management team provides personalized attention and support.

We only employ caregivers who we would entrust with our own parents.

We understand how difficult it is to entrust someone with the health, safety, and happiness of your loved one. It is our responsibility to provide your family with an experienced, responsible, and trustworthy caregiver. Each caregiver is handpicked for their varied talents, compassion, and dedication to helping make a positive difference in the lives of others. Our caregiver team is experienced, professional, and meets our highest expectations of care. Our caregivers love what they do and it shows in the quality of care our clients receive. We take great pride in our caregivers and management team.
