Business Overview

Essence Care LLC is a certified provider through the Ohio Department of Developmental Disabilities (DODD), committed to delivering high-quality Homemaker/Personal Care (HPC) services, community integration, and non-medicalized transportation. We follow a person-centered approach, ensuring that each individual’s needs, preferences, and goals are at the forefront of care planning and service delivery.

​​

🌟 Our Story: The Essence of Care

Essence Care LLC was founded on a simple, heartfelt belief: every individual—regardless of ability—deserves to live with dignity, independence, and joy. Founded by a dedicated team with years of hands-on experience in direct care and developmental disabilities services, Essence Care was born out of both professional insight and deep personal passion.

​

We saw a gap—too many care agencies were focused on tasks, checklists, and quotas, but not enough on the person. That’s when we realized it was time for something different. Something better.

​

So we asked ourselves:

What if care wasn’t just about what we do, but how we make people feel?

That question became our compass, and Essence Care LLC was created to honor the unique essence of every individual we serve.

​​

👥 Who We Are

Our team is made up of compassionate professionals who bring together diverse backgrounds in:

• Direct support care

• Case coordination

• Compliance and DODD policy

• Community integration programming

• Public health policy and research.

​

Each member of our staff is trained, certified, and most importantly, committed to building real, trusting relationships with clients and families. We are more than caregivers. We are listeners, advocates, encouragers, and partners.

​

🌱 Why We’re Different

At Essence Care, we don’t believe in one-size-fits-all support. We believe in tailored care, built on relationships, empowerment, and empathy.

​

What makes us stand out?

• We treat our clients like family, not case numbers.

• We support both independence and inclusion, encouraging every client to dream, participate, and grow.

• We’re proactive, flexible, and responsive—because every day brings new needs and new possibilities.
