Claudia R. Massey

Claudia stepped into the homecare field more than ten years ago as a home-health aide. Looking for a way to provide for her family, she quickly became everything her clients’ families needed as well. After taking a sabbatical after her client of five years passed from cancer, her phone never stopped ringing. Everyone wanted Claudia to care for their loved one. Naturally, with such a nurturing spirit, she adopted three special needs children out of foster care. With excellent communication and organizational skills, coupled with the ability to relate to others, developmentally through her professional experiences with the US Postal Services and her education in psychology, she is considered the “heart of the business.” As Co-Founder, she manages client and corporate relationships.
