We Are Different
We work with our compassionate caregivers to create a supportive environment where both clients and caregivers thrive. Clients can experience loneliness, helplessness and boredom and this can get in the way of care. We value getting to know our clients deeply and care is centered on their individual needs and goals. We believe that meaningful relationships are built from matching caregivers with clients that have common interests.
Empowering You with Technology; No More Paperwork!
Our technology allows you to have information at your fingertips and eliminate extra paperwork. We know your time is important. You will be able to use our caregiver app to manage your shift and provide feedback to the office. The information you capture while in the home, directly impacts the clients progress of care and their well-being.
Supporting You
Our training provides you the skills you need to be successful. When an emergency happens, you can respond confidently because of training you have received ahead of time.
We work together so everyone feels involved, connected and engaged.
You Talk. We Listen.
You are the heart of the company — the eyes and ears in the homes of our clients. Without you, we wouldn’t have a business. What you see and hear helps inform our clients’ experience and well-being.
Flexibility
You have a life; we get it. We work with you to create flexible schedules that honor work-life balance. Whether you want consistent, full time hours or a few shifts a week, we strive to meet your needs.
