How We Got Started

In 2009, my vibrant, active grandmother, was diagnosed with a pituitary tumor. Throughout her treatment, she made it clear that she wanted to remain in her home. At the time, I didn’t realize it, but honoring her wish would become my top priority.

On the day I got the call that my grandmother became hospitalized, I immediately booked a one-way flight home and moved in with her. It quickly became clear that she could not remain at home without around-the-clock care, so I became her advocate.

Like so many others, I experienced the strain of family dynamics while being the primary caregiver for almost 6 years until she passed. Unexpectedly, I also found a new career calling.

In short, I became an expert on home care by living through it.

With Changing Tides Home Care, I’m proudly honoring my grandmother’s legacy by using my personal and professional experience to bring a higher level of in-home care to other families in our community.

(more) I founded the company after caring for my grandmother with several states in between us for many years. Therefore, we are utilizing numerous technological features to enhance transparency not just for the family, but also your medical team and even the Community you reside in should that be an ALF, CCRC, or Independent Living. The bottom line is that we empower ALL of OUR CLIENTS with the same tools and transparency to enhance their well-being and quality of care.
