our MISSION

To ensure clients are provided a personalized care experience AT HOME where independence and quality of life are the foundation under which we provide care.

our VISION

Providing supportive services, clients can remain at home, never having to move to an Assisted Living Facility or Nursing Home.

a new kind of CARE

We believe in care that serves and supports the whole human person as well as their immediate community. We believe that thoughtful, personalized care has the power to not only maintain but also enrich anyone’s quality of life, no matter what changes they’re facing.

And we believe that care is a two-way street. Our caregivers are true professionals, called to serve others in ways that aren’t traditionally honored or praised by the world as we know it. We recognize their gifts and we support their potential with world-class training and career opportunities.

our CARE team

David Kafora

owner

View Bio

David has lived in Phoenix since 1996 and loves staying active. If he isn’t working out at the gym daily, he is spending time with his dogs, two 3-year-old German Shepard mixes. David feels so lucky to have his dream career. Children usually aspire to be astronauts, firefighters, teachers, doctors, no one grows up saying they want to take care of ‘old people’. But once in a while a special person learns about caring for seniors and wouldn’t dream of doing anything else. Those that care for seniors each have a crucible moment or a special story that tugs at their deepest emotions. Ask me!

With over 35 years of healthcare experience, David is passionate about caring for others, especially seniors. For over 20 years, he has been directly involved in caring for seniors with a concentration in skilled nursing, rehab, long-term care, assisted living and independent living. As a retired United States Airforce Medical Service Corps Officer, David holds high standards for himself and others. David is also a successful businessman as an area developer and owner of seven OrangeTheory Fitness studios in the Phoenix area. David joined the Air Force to serve his country but also a means to obtain his education. He holds an MBA with a concentration in Human Resources, a Bachelor’s Degree in Business Administration and an Associate in Applied Science in Health Care Administration.
