People Centered Policy
We built our business to be friendly to people with humane policies, plain language and readable print We are leading the way in transparency about our business and home care industry practices. If you have a question we haven't answered on our website please call us and we are happy to help find the answer 250-658-6508- Monthly Billing so your services and payments are easy to understand and keep track of.
- Most providers are invoicing 2-3 times a month, making it harder to understand the cost of care and more time consuming to keep up with payments.
- Our simple annual receipt with all payments for the year provides all the information needed to claim the Attendant Care tax credits.
- Cancelling with 24 hours notice before visit start is no charge.
- Cancellations with less than 24-hour notice before the visit start are half-charge on the full visit.
- Many providers charge short notice cancellations at the full cost of the visit for a portion or all of it.
- Pay only for what you use - Our minimum visits are 1 hour long with no weekly minimums and no subscription fees.
- Some providers require a minimum number of hours each week to be a client.
- Some providers charge a monthly subscription fee - even if you aren’t using their services.
- Discounts for using bank debit or credit card for pre-authorized payments
- Automated payment methods help us to manage cash flow and maintain an efficient operation
- More than 90% of our clients use an automated payment method to take advantage of our discounts
- We use AI administratively to help us organize and manipulate data. We do not use AI to write our material.
- Any AI use in images or other material is credited as such. There are good reasons to use AI in some cases for images that would breach privacy.
- We are against people having a depersonalized experience that doesn’t solve the reason they engaged with us. It will be some time before AI improves enough for us to use it for public facing functionality.
- Home care scheduling is very complex. Predictive analytics and “AI” will improve service dramatically in the future. However, we are currently a long ways away from a system that does that effectively and humanely.

Pro-tip: We also pay caregivers at a premium, without added charge to clients, for annual events where caregiver shortages are frequent like Halloween Eve and Christmas Eve. Our service is built for stability.
