I have worked with over 125 families in the last six years, and they all have a story about caring for a loved one who could no longer care for themselves. This is mine.
My amazing Mom was diagnosed with lung cancer and lived several years with the disease. She became bedridden in November of 2014. We were fortunate that the family had resources and could afford 24x7 home care. We hired from professional agencies and private nursing companies. At the time, I had opened a small business with a partner and was working many hours trying to get it off the ground. At least three times a week I would get a call from the caregiver and had to go home because either my mom needed her meds, she wanted to get up or she had fallen. I would frequently come home late and go over to see her, only to find a caregiver head down on the kitchen table sound asleep.
One night, I went by to say goodnight to my mother, and I overheard her asking the caregiver to get her something off a table in her room. The caregiver refused to do it, telling my then bedridden mother to get it herself and that she was giving her too much trouble. I tapped her on the shoulder and needless to say she was very surprised to see me! This was the third agency my family hired...and the last. I left my business and went home to take care of my mother myself. About a month before she passed, we found a very small group of caregivers who were managed by a woman in her 70's named Jane Edwards. Jane had this vision for smaller care homes, and I decided after Jane was diagnosed with dementia that I was going to continue on with this work. Since then, I have learned so much about this industry and the caregivers. My life is forever changed.
Our mission is simple. We strive to provide a comfortable, safe and dignified home care experience and as many “moments of joy” as possible, with experienced, skilled, and compassionate caregivers. We offer our clients an affordable rate and our caregivers a living wage. In addition, we envision integrating our small care homes into beautiful neighborhoods where caregivers and loved ones can live as a community and share a sense of belonging.
Our dedicated team of 35 professionals work closely to address both straightforward and complex care needs with expertise and compassion. All of our caregivers are fully insured and possess a minimum of two years of experience, with the majority bringing over a decade of expertise in private care, care facilities, or hospital settings. Unlike traditional agencies, we embrace a distinctive approach that prioritizes fair compensation, ensuring our caregivers earn a living wage. We offer a comprehensive range of services, including daycare, overnight care, respite care for those in need of a caregiving break, and compassionate end-of-life care.
Our care management philosophy is rooted in alleviating the family of the burden of care, enabling your loved one to embrace as many joyful moments as possible for as long as possible. We engage them in enriching community or outdoor activities, such as yoga, meditation, or museum visits. For those unable to participate in such outings, we ensure they receive attentive, high-quality care and heartfelt support every day from home. Through our secure portal, we provide daily updates to family and friends, keeping everyone connected. We also nourish them with wholesome and delicious meals, all delivered with an abundance of warmth, care, and—most importantly—hugs.
Discussing the complexities of end-of-life care, along with the accompanying fears and anxieties, can be deeply challenging. Our certified Doula team is here to provide compassionate support for both significant and smaller tasks. Whether it’s creating meaningful legacy moments or keepsakes for loved ones, coordinating final arrangements, ensuring your wishes are honored, tailoring services to your preferences, or navigating sensitive family conversations, we are committed to assisting you every step of the way. Most importantly, we strive to help you live each day to the fullest, embracing as many joyful moments as possible
