WHAT MAKES US DIFFERENT?

You choose your Caregiver!

We work diligently to find the best matched Caregiver for
your specific needs, then, we allow you to choose!
You determine the amount of time
you need!
Whether it is one hour or 24-hours, no need is too small.
We have no minimum hour requirements!
You decide the service you need!
You are able to work directly with the professional Care-
giver to develop a care plan that works for you or your
loved one. Because we are a referral-based agency, we
do not place restrictions on the Caregivers. It is up to
you and the Caregiver to determine the level of non-
medical services you need.
Consistency in Caregivers.
Having a different caregiver each week is difficult and
frustrating. Once you have chosen a Caregiver, that
person is yours! The agency will not pull them away for
other jobs. But unlike a privately-hired Caregiver, we will
provide you with a substitute if necessary.
We refer Certified Caregivers
We take comfort in knowing the Caregivers we refer are
trained, certified, and experienced in caring for people.
You can feel confident that you or your loved one is in
the hands of a caring, professional caregiver.
