“Caring is a labor of love and requires a special person”
Vision
I Care Best (ICB) has a revolutionary way of thinking about patients and elders. At ICB, we consider the whole family as our client. We provide a level of care that satisfies your loved ones while offering relief for your family as well. We believe in holistic care because the best care should serve clients, family members, and care providers, as well as our community. With our holistic home care, we will help you minimize your hospital visits significantly and use your time and budget effectively. We are continually learning and refining our research-based care to make sure your needs are met.
ICB believes that seniors and people with medical issues are valuable members of society who should be free to live full, meaningful and enjoyable lives no matter their age and health conditions. Our vision is to improve our clients’ lives, to protect them from isolation, and to help them to engage and flourish in our community. We help them live their lives with dignity.
Our goal is to move beyond peoples’ physical needs and address all the intangible aspects of their wellness, meeting each client’s needs as a whole person and enhancing their quality of life. We also strive to focus on our clients’ strengths instead of their physical and mental decline. By hiring skilled, professional, considerate, and caring people and pursuing ongoing learning and improvement based on literature, we work together to bring our vision to life.
