About Us

Discover what makes us stand out from the rest!

  • We are locally and family owned and operated.
  • Our commitment to delivering the highest quality care means that we’re selective in our hiring process. 
  • We adhere to the “Golden Rule” and treat our clients as we would want to be treated. This is reflected in our “NO contracts, NO deposits, NO minimums” policy.
  • Our licensed caregivers are all employees of our company and not contractors. This means that they are all insured through our business and undergo annual background checks at the local, state, and federal levels. These checks include their medical and personal history, as well as their driving records.
  • By approaching care with a humble heart, caregivers not only deliver the practical assistance required but also nurture an environment of warmth, trust, and respect. 
  • Assigning the minimum number of caregivers required to your case ensures you won’t have to meet a lot of new faces. We make it a priority to formally introduce any new caregivers assigned to you.
