Recently, we gathered at the office to celebrate the retirement of long-time caregiver, Susan M. who has been an integral part of our caregiving team for the past 17 years.

Susan brought compassion, patience, and genuine care to every interaction, excelling in building meaningful, long-term connections with her live in clients - including some very high needs clients (and their little dogs)! Her dedication and work ethic has helped shape the supportive environment we value today.

While we will miss Susan's kind nature and quick wit, we are grateful for the memories she leaves behind. Thank you to all that made it to her going away party - for those that couldn't make it, please join us in wishing Susan all the best as she begins this exciting new chapter!

Our management team had the pleasure of attending AxisCare 's first conference in Austin in February, and we were so impressed by the incredibly thorough and thoughtful ex*****on of this event. One of the things we like most about AxisCare is their people power, and the way that they invest in education so that their customers use their product to its fullest potential. This event was purely for that purpose, and helped us gain a better understanding of all the new developments and partnerships that have happened over the past couple years. We came away from this event better and have already implemented several of the things learned to better support our caregivers and clients.
