A Place At Home

09/23/2026

"The real work happens in homes." 🏡💚

That simple statement from our CEO, Mike Boyer, says a lot about how he leads.

In his recent Franchise Update Magazine profile, Mike shares why his role starts with supporting the people closest to the care experience — our franchise owners, caregivers, local teams, clients, and families. 👥

For A Place At Home, people-first leadership means listening, removing obstacles, providing the right resources, and creating an environment where local teams can focus on what matters most: serving seniors and families with dependable, compassionate care. 💜

We're proud to see Mike's leadership philosophy featured in Franchise Update Magazine. 🌟

Today we pause to remember. 🕊️

On September 11th, we honor the lives lost, the heroes who ran toward danger, and the resilience of a nation that came together in its darkest hour.

Among those we remember are the veteran seniors and first responders who carry the weight of that day — and so many others — in their hearts and bodies.

We are grateful for all who serve. We remember all who sacrificed. 🇺🇸

Happy Labor Day! 🇺🇸

On a day that honors the American worker, we want to take a moment to recognize the people who never clock out — our caregivers.

Home care workers show up every single day — holidays included — to make sure seniors are safe, comfortable, and cared for. They are among the most essential workers in our communities, and they deserve our deepest respect and gratitude.

To every caregiver at A Place At Home: today and every day, your work matters. Thank you. 💚

Caring for someone with dementia is one of the hardest jobs there is — and most families are doing it without any real backup.

That's what the GUIDE Program is changing. Through our partnership with PocketRN, eligible families get 24/7 virtual nursing support and up to 72 hours of in-home respite care each year — at no cost.

It means a nurse to call at 2am. It means a break to actually rest. It means not doing this alone.

If your family is navigating a dementia diagnosis, reach out to your local A Place At Home to see if you qualify.

Most families think dementia care means help with the basics. Bathing, meals, medication. And yes — that matters.

But A Place At Home - Encinitas went further.

Franchise owner Sam Van Valzah took one of his clients on a classic car ride, dinner on the water, and floor seats to a live basketball game — and every detail was intentional.

The car was a 1967 Buick Skylark, because he spent his career working on engines at a Buick plant. The waterfront dinner was for a man who's always loved the ocean. The game was for someone who's never stopped loving sports. And his family was there to share all of it.

This is what personalized dementia care looks like. Not just getting through the day — building moments that connect a person to who they are.

That's what we believe care should be.
