ABOUT KATJA'S CARE

The Story and Inspiration Behind Our Business

Hello! I'm Katja Loewy, the mastermind behind Katja's Care, where we bring healthcare to you because, let's face it, who really enjoys those waiting room magazines anyway?

My journey started when I realized my true calling was to combine my love for helping people with my aversion to wearing pantsuits. After seeing my family struggle with healthcare logistics, I thought, "Why not make it easier and more comfortable?" So here we are, delivering top-notch care straight to your living room, where you can wear fuzzy slippers and still get the best service.

At Katja's Care, we’re all about making healthcare feel a little less like a chore and a lot more like a friendly visit. Let's make health and happiness happen at home—no pants required!

ABOUT OUR CAREGIVERS

Caregiving is a Calling of Compassion and Trust

We have Licensed Practical Nurses, Home Health Aides, Personal Care Aides and EMRs on staff.

There are many great reasons to be a caregiver. While unconditional kindness and consistent care require hard work, there is great joy when opting to help someone in need. Caregivers provide a fantastic service to families who have been caring for someone they love but need a break to keep up with all the other demands of life. Caregiving is an excellent way to develop new skills, learn to listen, and make a difference in someone's life. The vocation of caregiving requires heart. It’s not a job, caregiving is a calling. Unfortunately, there are a lot of unqualified, neglectful caregivers. The sad truth is without proper training or a compassionate heart, a loved one may be experiencing elderly abuse from a caregiver. Sometimes, this neglectful behavior can continue for months or even years without family members knowing.

Our home care agency provides compassionate care to patients. Not only that, but the way we treat our caregivers is unlike other care providers.

Extensive Caregiver Training

First and foremost, we understand the demands of the job. As a result, we make sure that our caregivers have the support they need to provide excellent care. Each of our caregivers completes our proprietary training program to prepare them for providing excellent at-home care.

Personal Care Plans

Before one of our caregivers even begins to care for a client, we establish an in-depth, personal care for that individual. Plus, I'm on call 24/7 to provide support. Every situation is different, and every old adult has unique needs. We are dedicated to meeting those needs in a personalized way.

Caregiving as a Calling

To us, caregiving isn't just a job, but rather, a calling. It's both challenging and fulfilling. We look for people with exceptional emotional intelligence and refined personal skills. A good caregiver isn’t just someone with a certification or experience as a caregiver. Great caregivers are personally committed to their calling and enjoy caring for elderly adults.

Better Pay, Better Care

We take the time to recruit the best in the profession, and we are proud to pay them accordingly. The fact of the matter is some people are caregivers for the sake of having a job. Most times, caregivers are vastly underpaid for the amazing work they do. At Katja's Care , we pay more to attract the highest quality caregivers around.

Every Caregiver Has a Voice

When our caregivers make creative suggestions, we say "yes" as much as we can. We want to support them in improving the lives of older adults. We nurture team spirit and encourage bonds between our caregivers. That way, they can learn from one another. Sharing knowledge and experience helps to build strong Care Team members.

Make a Real Difference

"I worked as a caregiver for Katja’s Care for approximately 4 years. While there were challenges, the sense of accomplishment I felt knowing I was making a real difference in someone’s life is incredibly fulfilling. I loved the feeling of being able to provide comfort and support to those who need it most even on difficult days. It was a privilege to be a part of a team that cared so much about helping people who otherwise have no one to help them and to be able to provide comfort and support to those who need it most."

I chose to work with Katja’s care because I wanted to help provide quality care to those who need it the most! There is something fulfilling about being able to provide companionship and doing the things for the elderly that they no longer can for themselves. Katja’s care isn’t just a team of caregivers; it’s a family! I couldn’t be more proud to work for such a caring and compassionate company. What I love most about working for Katja’s care, is being a friend to those who need it most! The patients I’ve taken care of have become my family too! There’s no better feeling than knowing you brought that smile to their face and seeing them so excited to see you. I love what I do, and the lives I help change here!
