Moments of Joy — Monthly Caregiver Spotlight

Our Mission Isn't a Tagline. It's a Practice.

Every month, our caregivers share real moments of purpose, meaning, and joy they brought back to their clients' lives. These are your neighbors who entrusted us with their care and received support guided by our values.

“Bringing Purpose, Meaning and Joy is not a promise. It's a practice.”— Maggie Drag, Founder

How the Spotlight Works

A monthly contest that keeps our caregivers inspired and our clients thriving.

Caregivers Share a Moment

Each month, our caregivers submit a photo of a meaningful activity they did with their client — something that brought back a part of who that person truly was.

You Vote for Your Favorites

Our community of clients and caregivers votes on Facebook. First, second, and third place winners are chosen.

Everyone Wins

The three winners receive a bonus. Clients experience a laugh, a memory, or a moment of joy they didn't know was still possible. That is the real prize.

This Month's Joy Moments

The moments our families voted for this month — and the caregivers behind them.

Yvonne

Activity: Poster Making

A client spent the afternoon making a colorful poster filled with cheerful notes like "Keep Smiling" and "Joy." The project gave her fine-motor practice, creative focus, and a chance to express herself.

“Her presence was warm and comforting to all. She is compassionate, kind, intelligent, devoted, responsible and utterly reliable.”

Mariia

Activity: Watching Golf in Person

A client relaxes on a sunny patio, enjoying a peaceful morning watching golfers on the course just beyond the yard. Fresh air, a front-row view of the green, and attentive companionship made for a calm, restful start to the day.

“We couldn't have kept him home as long had it not been for you. I'm grateful from the bottom of my heart.”

Lidia

Activity: Planting

A client enjoys a sunny afternoon outdoors, proudly holding the houseplant she's about to pot. Gardening gives her sensory engagement, gentle movement, and a real connection to nature. With the support of her companion caregiver, a simple day outside became one full of purpose and pride.

Why It Matters

Why We Run This Contest Every Single Month

When a family looks for home care, they are not only looking for someone to complete a list of tasks. They are looking for someone who can see who their loved one once was — and who they still are.

Our clients were homemakers. Gardeners. Cooks. Musicians. Dancers. Teachers. Storytellers. Age and illness may have made those things harder. But they have not erased who they once were.

Our mission is for our clients to feel that they still matter by experiencing a laugh, a memory, a moment of joy they didn't know was still possible.

Getting Started Is Simple

A Clear, Guided Process from Initial Call to Caregiver Match

  1. Reach out by phone or by filling out our online form, and THREE things come back to you. A FREE foundational Plan of Care tailored to you and your loved one, along with potential caregiver(s) profile(s) near you, and a list of questions to ask home care agencies.

  2. Our goal is to create the most effective Plan of Care for your loved one. One of our Client Managers will reach out to schedule an in-home visit. This allows us to get to know you and your loved one personally, understand their needs, and assess the home for safety. We'll note any existing adaptive equipment and flag any adjustments that could better support their independence at home.

  3. Based on everything we have learned about your loved one, we will send you a couple of pre-selected caregiver profiles that we believe are a good match for your loved one's needs, preferences, hobbies, personality, etc. Once you have chosen a caregiver you feel good about, you have the option to meet them before services begin.

  4. On the first day of services, our Field Supervisor will be on-site to ensure the Plan of Care is fully understood and followed. Clients are encouraged to ask questions, and we will be there to ease the transition every step of the way. From there, our Field Supervisor will continue with monthly in-home visits to ensure quality care is maintained.

Why You Need a Plan of Care for Your Loved One?

A Plan of Care tells you exactly what level of support your loved one needs without committing to anything. We put it together because every family making this decision deserves clarity before they commit.

Fill out one plan of care. Walk away with caregiver profiles, the right questions to ask homecare providers and caregivers, and a roadmap because every family deserves clarity before they commit to anything.
