## Story

“This isn’t just a business for me; it’s a personal mission influenced by my upbringing and friends’ experiences,” said Jerry Shin, owner of A Place At Home - Northwest Valley. “We’re here to make sure all seniors and their families feel valued and supported.”

Personal experiences for Shin highlighted the need for quality senior care. Raised by his grandmother and helping his father after an accident on a ladder, Shin understands the critical role of supportive care. He’s also watched his friends struggle to find quality care for their parents.

“I’ve seen firsthand how fast the aging journey can take a turn for the worse, and I’m dedicated to providing the kind of compassionate care that seniors need,” said Shin. “I aim to do more than just schedule caregivers; I hope to be a part of our clients’ families and make sure they receive the personalized care they deserve.”

Shin and his team of compassionate caregivers offer a comprehensive range of senior-focused care services. The services include in-home care, care coordination, senior living alternatives, and staffing solutions and are all designed to offer personalized guidance throughout the aging journey. A Place At Home is committed to providing the highest level of care and ensuring that every client’s unique needs are met.

“We’re thrilled to welcome Jerry into our franchise family,” says Dustin Distefano, CEO and co-founder of APlace At Home. “His passion for serving seniors makes him an ideal advocate for our mission. We can’t wait to watch his business grow and for more San Fernando Valley seniors to receive the compassionate and comprehensive care A Place At Home offers.
