## Story

The transition into senior care was a natural one for Joscelyn and Sam. Joscelyn has spent her entire career as a healthcare administrator, working with vulnerable seniors. In college, Sam was a caregiver for a child with spinal muscle atrophy. He transitioned into a financial planning career post-college, helping families prepare for retirement.

“A passion to help others and improve the quality of life of those in our community drives us,” said Sam. “Having worked as a caregiver and more recently with families to prepare for their retirement, I understand the importance of quality senior care. It's our goal to exceed expectations and deliver top-tier care for seniors.”

A Place At Home – Encinitas offers comprehensive services, including in-home care, care coordination, senior living alternatives, and staffing solutions. Beyond providing customizable care plans with these services, Joscelyn and Sam aim to become an impact organization in their community by enhancing seniors’ quality of life and minimizing fall and hospital readmission rates.

“As both my grandmothers face their own health battles and require care assistance, the importance of compassionate and skilled caregiving has never been more personal,” said Joscelyn. “When hiring caregivers, I ask myself if they're someone I would trust with my own grandmother’s care. We’re here not only to serve but to advocate passionately for your loved ones during their most challenging times.”

“We’re thrilled to welcome Joscelyn and Sam into our franchise family,” said Dustin Distefano, CEO and co-founder of A Place At Home. “Their career backgrounds and compassion for seniors will help them provide exceptional services to North County San Diego families.”
