WHAT IF THERE WAS A WAY…
to bring counseling and care to clients, right in the comfort of their homes?
After 15 years in the social work sector, Emily Loos felt a distinct pull toward a new way of providing care.
About
LET’S ELIMINATE OFFICE VISITS.
What if a counselor could come to a patient’s home, settle in across from them on the couch, and conduct the session right there?
LET’S EMPOWER CAREGIVERS.
What if there was a way to connect caregivers with an empathetic and knowledgeable professional who could walk them through the paperwork required for their loved one to receive Medicaid or VA benefits, step by step?
LET’S FIND ALTERNATIVES.
What if there was a resource who could assist caregivers in bringing all the needed aspects of care right to their loved one’s home, rather than defaulting to assisted living or a nursing home for care?
