Float CareGiver - Steer Care, Shape Lives

Our Story

Aaron and Paul both wanted a business that made a difference. Aaron watched his grandparents move into nursing homes and lose something because they weren’t in their familiar environment anymore. He believes keeping seniors at home for as long as possible is the way to go. Paul’s father was a client with Home Instead and because of that was able to stay home as long as possible. Both wanted to be able to help seniors as well caregivers looking to help others and make a difference.
