Santa Clarita Family Begins New Chapter for Established North Los Angeles Caregiving Company

The company is now led by the Ehrhardt family, including Chip and his sons Jake and Jaden. In recent years, the Ehrhardts have been exposed to the caregiving industry through Jaden’s professional experience with another agency, where he quickly connected with those he served and eventually became a lead care coordinator. Now equipped with industry knowledge and community connections from their deep roots in Santa Clarita, the Ehrhardt family is motivated to provide meaningful care to the families they have come to know and love.

Headquartered at 25101 The Old Road, Suite 205 in Santa Clarita, the company will continue to provide residents throughout Santa Clarita and the surrounding communities in north Los Angeles County with a wide variety of non-medical, in-home care services, from companion care to personal care and respite care.

The established SYNERGY HomeCare in Santa Clarita staff has witnessed the growing demand for these services, particularly among Baby Boomers. U.S. Census statistics show that 10,000 Baby Boomers are turning 65 every day and that by 2030, there will be more than 70 million people over 65. According to the AARP, over 80% of this demographic report wanting to remain in their own homes for as long as possible.

Jaden’s interest in home care began unexpectedly when a family friend inquired whether he’d be interested in working as a caregiver at his new agency. Jaden agreed and quickly discovered that he had found his passion. Growing up, Jaden was a naturally compassionate and nurturing person, and those qualities allowed him to build strong relationships with his clients, many of whom came to view Jaden as an extension of their own families.

His natural aptitude for his new job helped him quickly advance to lead caregiver, and then lead care coordinator, where he oversaw scheduling and operations – the same role he will now fill alongside his father and brother.

“Home care wasn’t something our family set out to get into, but Jaden’s experience changed something for us,” said Chip. “Watching him excel so quickly as a caregiver and seeing how deeply his clients came to rely on him made us discover truly how valuable caregiving agencies are. Caregiving companies aren’t just service providers; they actively change people’s lives every day and fill a special role for families from all walks of life.”

Jake will leverage his athletic and leadership background to help his brother oversee day-to-day operations. While attending the University of Southern California, Jake was an All-American multiple times, a recognition he achieved in Men’s Water Polo while pursuing a degree in psychology. His competitive excellence eventually earned him a spot on the Team USA Men’s Water Polo program, and more recently, he coached the water polo program at Brown University.

Chip, who comes from a background in broadcasting, will guide his two sons in leadership, and together, the Ehrhardt family will leverage their unique strengths to create a holistic care experience for every client they serve.

“As soon as I came to Santa Clarita, I immediately knew this was home,” said Chip. “Our family has genuinely enjoyed getting to meet every prospective client and learn the ins and outs of their families. Home care is incredibly personal, and that means something to us. We want the families we serve to know that they have people they can call, people who will listen, and people who will treat their loved ones with the same care, patience, and respect we would want for our own family. That’s really what this business means to us.”

Los Angeles County is home to some of the most reputable care providers in the country. Though several of these facilities are located nearby, many older adults stand to benefit from care plans that can be offered in the comfort of their own homes. Many of these residents require assistance with cooking, shopping, running errands, doing light housekeeping, or going for walks. Some even require personal care, such as help with bathing, dressing, or using the toilet.
