Our Balanced Care Method™ emphasizes a healthy mind, body, and spirit. This holistic approach focuses on nutrition, mental health, and overall wellness — which enhances quality of life.

The method originated by studying the elders of Okinawa, Japan, where residents routinely live to be over 100 years old, enjoying good health and purpose. Inspired by this, we’ve made it our mission to inspire joy every day.
Behind every professional caregiver is our full-time Care Team of experts, providing ongoing guidance to our caregivers — and support to you and your family.

We take the time to select just the right caregiver for your needs. If you’re not satisfied with them for any reason, we’ll select someone else — because we know a personal connection matters.

Navigating the Home Care Discussion
Talking-to-parents-about-home-care-guide.png

Starting the conversation with a loved one about home care can be challenging. Our checklist will help you approach the topic in an effective, empathetic way.

What’s the best home care?
The best home care is provided by reliable, professional caregivers who are trained and backed by a home care agency that’s insured, providing oversight, care guidance, and back-up caregivers as needed.
How do I find the best caregiver for my loved one?
The best caregiver is an experienced professional who has the training and skills to support your loved one’s care needs.

It’s also important to find a caregiver who’s extremely reliable, —has back-up if necessary, —and is a good fit in terms of personality and shared interests.
Is home care better than moving to assisted living?
Nine out of ten older adults would prefer to live independently in the home they know and love rather than moving to a facility or assisted living community.

With the right level of support, most people can continue to live safely and comfortably at home even as they age with a progressive illness or condition.
How much does home care cost?
Home care is typically billed by the hour, so the cost depends on the number of care hours per week and can vary slightly by region. Most families pay out-of-pocket for their care or use long-term care insurance.
Is a home care agency better than hiring a private caregiver?
If you value safety, security, and reliability, yes. A quality home care agency is insured and also manages the performance and scheduling of its caregivers, handles billing and payroll, and has back-up caregivers to fill in when needed.

With a private hire caregiver, you’re responsible for setting up payroll and withholding taxes, caregiver vetting and background checks, and purchasing sufficient liability insurance to cover any accidents or injuries in the home.
