Caregiving is more than an occupation. It is a lifestyle I entered into when I began working as a caregiver for my grandmother at age seventeen. Eighteen months later I took over the home care of my father, who had cancer and Alzheimer's disease. After his passing, I pursued other occupations for a brief time before returning to caregiving. I realized providing personal care for our elders was a deep calling in my life, which I’ve now been following for nearly twenty-five years.
While large caregiving agencies have their benefits, in working for such companies I’ve always felt a need for personal relationships was left unmet through the quick turnover of staff and clients. I began my company with the explicit goal of meeting the need for a personal affiliation and deep relationship with each client. In the fifteen years I’ve been providing independent home caregiving, I’ve always worked personally with each of my clients to insure this goal is met.
As your loved one ages and begins to have increasing difficulty performing activities of daily living, you may begin to feel unable to continue to meet their needs. The non-medical, home-health care Elizabeth provides will enable you to keep your loved one happily at home while giving you the extra help and expertise needed to meet their ever-changing needs.

“Elizabeth has extreme passion when it comes to taking care of the elderly. There is nothing more important then treating them with respect and making sure their needs are thoroughly met. Elizabeth is one of the strongest advocates for the elderly that I have ever encountered.” - Maggie Amos, Social Services Director at a Skilled Nursing Facility and longtime friend
“We kept a detailed daily record book with medications, meals, moods, and any information a person would need to know for Dad’s care. I never worried about Dad when she was on the job. She even kept track of supplies and groceries, spending her own money to stop at the store and pick up anything she felt would make him more comfortable.” - Dyna Kuehnle, Elizabeth cared for her father, Eugene, from October 2008 to his passing in June 2009.
“The combination of humor, affection, and straightforward competence [Elizabeth] brings is what makes her so capable of connecting with people. Dad loved her from the start, and they developed a rapport I had never seen him have with anyone.” - Dyna Kuehnle
