About Us
Road to Caring Hearts
Caring Hearts was founded in 2005 with the basis of creating a loving home for the founder’s own grandmother. As the primary caregiver of her grandmother, founder Olivia Velasquez followed the journey of many families:Grandmother was living in her own apartment but as her physical abilities declined she became more isolated in her apartment. Attending a local day care program became a way to safely break away from the isolation. Then came the decline of both physical and health care needs and Grandma needed more looking after. Grandma moved from her apartment into a beautiful large assisted living facility where she enjoyed her own apartment, had regular social activities, and the help she needed at the time. Then came the day when Grandma was no longer able to walk the hallways and take the elevator down to the dining hall. She no longer was in line for the daily shuttle to ride around town like she used to. Calls from the assisted living facility started to become more frequent as her safety became more and more of an issue. The time finally came when a smaller environment made more sense. A place that could follow her care more closely, provide the social stimulation, and give her the extra love in her final years.And so began the basis of Caring Hearts. Founder Olivia took her experiences and what she wanted for her Grandma to create a loving home. Grandma lived at Caring Hearts until her passing in 2008 and her legacy continues to serve many families.
