Carly Pickern, Founder & CEO, and Troy Greenway, Client Relations, outside the office in Roseville, CA.
“Exceptional home care doesn't just support one person, it can change the quality of life for an entire family.”
Carly Pickern, on the caregiver who made it possible for her uncle to stay in the home he loved
Read Carly's story →You meet the caregiver first
We introduce the caregiver we propose before the first shift. If the fit is wrong, we introduce someone else. Nobody starts care with a stranger at the door.
Locally owned and reachable in Roseville, CA
Carly does the assessments. Troy handles client relations, and Ginelle coordinates schedules. There is no franchise call center between you and the people responsible for your parent's care.
Caregivers are employees, not contractors
Every caregiver is a W-2 employee and a licensed Home Care Aide with at least two years of in-home care experience, background checked through the California Department of Justice, trained by us and covered by our insurance.

Plans that change with the person
Care needs move. A plan is reviewed after the first visit, at two weeks and whenever something changes. Hours go up or down as needed, without penalties.
Honest about pricing and limits
