Our story

Care is a calling. We answered.

Anointed Professional Helpers was born out of a family’s hardest moment. Since 2012 we’ve built a team of W-2 employed helpers who treat in-home care the way it deserves to be treated — as a profession.

How it works

Family-owned · Worcester, MA · Since 2012

How we started

A stroke. Four strangers. A better idea.

In 2011, our founder's mother had a stroke in Worcester. The family turned to a local agency for help. Over the next two weeks, four different helpers came through the door — none of them the same person twice.

That experience made one thing clear: in-home care wasn't broken because of bad intentions. It was broken because the industry treated helpers as interchangeable and families as transactions. Anointed Professional Helpers was founded in 2012 to do it differently — starting with the belief that a consistent, well-trained, properly compensated helper is the single most important thing you can give a family in need.

We are still family-owned. We have never taken outside investment. Every decision we make is made with a single question in mind: would we want this for our own mother?

Our team

84 helpers. Every one an employee.

We employ every helper on our team as a W-2 employee. Not contractors. Not gig workers. Employees — with full benefits, paid training, and a career ladder that goes somewhere.

W-2 employment, not 1099

Our helpers pay into social security, earn unemployment protection, and are covered by workers’ comp. That stability shows up in how they work.

Full benefits from day 30

Medical, dental, vision, and a 401(k) with a 4% match. We cover 70% of the premium so helpers can actually use the coverage.

80 hours of paid training

Every helper completes 80 hours of training before entering a client home. ADLs, dementia care, fall prevention, family communication — all of it, paid.

Average tenure of 6.2 years

The industry average is under 18 months. When you treat helpers well, they stay. When they stay, care improves.

Our values

The things we won't compromise on.

Values at most companies are wall art. Ours show up in how we hire, how we train, how we schedule, and how we handle the hard conversations with families.

Dignity first

Every client is someone’s parent, grandparent, or partner. We train our helpers to lead with dignity — not just task completion — on every single shift.

Continuity of care

Rotating strangers through a home is disruptive and unsafe. We match one primary helper to each client and keep that relationship intact.

Transparency

Families can reach a coordinator by phone any day of the week. No voicemail mazes. No unanswered emails. Care plans are shared and updated in real time.

Community

We live and work in the same communities as our clients. That’s not a tagline — it shapes how we hire, how we train, and how we show up.

I started this company because of my mother. Every decision I make, I make thinking about families exactly like ours — people who need real help, not a revolving door. That hasn't changed in thirteen years, and it won't.
