The roots of DAAR Home Care run deep in personal experience and a lifelong commitment to compassionate care. For our founder, Asha, the journey began in childhood, watching her mother and family provide devoted care to her aunt, who lived with cerebral palsy and paraplegia. These early experiences shaped her understanding of both the challenges and beauty of providing dedicated care to loved ones with special needs.
“I witnessed firsthand the overwhelming love and dedication required to provide quality care,” Asha recalls. “But I also saw the struggles caregivers face and the critical importance of maintaining dignity in care relationships.”
Asha’s path to founding DAAR Home Care was further shaped by her experience as a caregiver for her father, who battled Parkinson’s disease for many years. She was an integral part of his care team, an experience that would become the cornerstone of DAAR’s philosophy.
“My father’s journey showed me the profound difference between care given with genuine love and respect versus care lacking empathy and compassion,” Asha shares. “Through proper nutrition, exercise, and most importantly, care that preserved his dignity and independence, we were able to help him maintain his quality of life until the end.”
Our care philosophy is built on several key principles that set us apart:
Our profound understanding of dementia and memory-related conditions shapes every aspect of our care approach. This firsthand experience enables us to provide specialized support that addresses the unique challenges faced by individuals with dementia and their families, combining clinical expertise with deep empathy and practical knowledge of daily care needs.
We go beyond traditional care by incorporating complete wellness practices. Our comprehensive approach includes personalized nutritional guidance, adaptive exercise programs, and mindfulness practices like meditation and yoga, ensuring we nurture both body and spirit.
Every aspect of our care is designed to preserve and enhance our clients’ independence and dignity. From personal care to end-of-life support, we maintain the highest standards of respectful, compassionate service that honors each individual’s journey.
Drawing from personal experience, we understand that care extends beyond the individual to encompass the entire family unit. We provide guidance, support, and resources to help families navigate their caregiving journey with confidence.
We serve as strong advocates for our clients, ensuring they receive the attention, respect, and quality of care they deserve. Our team actively coordinates with healthcare providers and community resources to create a comprehensive support network.
Our commitment to exceptional care is backed by professional expertise and specialized training:
As a Medicaid provider, we help clients navigate complex benefits systems to secure the maximum covered services they’re entitled to. Our team serves as a liaison between clients and insurance providers to optimize policy benefits for comprehensive care.
Asha holds a Certified Comprehensive Dementia Care Provider certification from Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine and is pursuing additional certifications inEnd-of-Life Doula care (University of Vermont ) and Food Matters Nutrition (Gaia Network).
These credentials reflect our commitment to evidence-based, holistic care approaches that address the complex needs of our clients. When you choose DAAR Home Care, you’re partnering with professionals who understand both the practical and administrative sides of home care.
As we continue to grow, our mission remains steadfast: to provide the kind of care that we would want for our own family members – care that is professional, compassionate, and deeply respectful of each individual’s dignity and independence.
“Every individual deserves care that not only meets their physical needs but also nourishes their spirit and preserves their dignity. This is the foundation of everything we do at DAAR.”
