I founded our Evergreen® company, Assistance Home Care, to provide families comfort in what for many is a very vulnerable time. Opening your door to home health care professionals and trusting strangers to step into your home and provide assistance can be difficult, but it’s an essential service for those who require in-home care.

My wife, Sally, was her mom’s caregiver for five years while raising our three small children, and we saw how vital in-home care was for my mother-in-law. My father-in-law, who was in his eighties at the time, would have struggled to care for his wife without Sally’s help. As a very proud and private man, it also would have been very difficult for him to open his door to a stranger to provide the assistance he needed.
