Support For Home, Inc.

Specialties

You may be a physician, a home health professional, a family member or associate, a senior, a new mother or someone needing a little bit of help with activities of daily living (ADLs). Support For Home® helps our clients maintain independence in the comfort of their home instead of having to move elsewhere.

History

Established in 2007.

We are a family owned in-​home care agency in the greater Sacramento area. In our own lives, we have seen family members provide care to others then, in turn, need support themselves. This is a cycle nearly every family experiences. Too often, there are simply not enough family caregivers available to provide the required support.

The challenges encountered by the person needing care are tough ones, physically and emotionally. The same is true for caregivers, either within the family or professionals. As a family, ourselves, we are committed to helping with those challenges, in every way we can. We want our caregivers and our agency to treat our clients how we would want our own parents treated — with love, patience and care.

Meet the Business Owner

Bert C.

Business Owner

I am very fortunate that both of my parents successfully lived at home until they both died this year. There are services that they needed, but thankfully they are surrounded by my sisters and a large family that cared for them, plus some additional professional home care.

Pursuing first an academic then a corporate career, I have not often had the opportunity to live near them. The realities of day-​to-​day life too often interfere with good intentions. In changing careers again, I focused on an opportunity to help people more than I have been able to in the past. I am still 750 miles from where my parents lived, but there are many people in the greater Sacramento area who I can help, through our in-​home care agency.

I have a BA and an MA, and did some doctoral work in history, but, as Siew Pheng mentioned, my educational focus is now on Gerontology. I currently serve on the Conference Planning Committee for the National Private Duty Association (NPDA).
