A Place At Home started with two childhood friends and a shared belief: our grandparents — and every senior — deserve better care at home.

After seeing their own families navigate aging, caregiving, and the challenges of finding the right support, co-founders Dustin Distefano and Jerod Evanich knew the system could be more compassionate, more reliable, and more centered on families.

So they built the kind of care they wanted for the people they love most — and created a model focused on helping seniors stay safe, supported, and happy at home.

Today, that mission continues through every family served and every location across the country 💜
