About Us

Two compassionate visionaries embarked on a transformative journey when Dee and Vanessa founded Care Indeed Home Health Care in the heart of the San Francisco Bay Area. Their mission was clear: to revolutionize the way care was delivered to seniors and individuals in need. Beyond home care services, they expanded their reach into medical staffing, bridging the gap between healthcare facilities and skilled professionals. These founders actively listened to pain points, strategically recruited committed candidates, and ensured that compassion remained at the core of their legacy. From pandemic adaptations to virtual reality training, their impact continues to shape the healthcare landscape, creating a better world for elders, families, and their caregivers.
