About Us
The Executive Home Care experience is steeped in understanding of aging, and it comes from a place of genuine compassion for our fellow human being. With every interaction we have with our clients, we express our desire to improve their lives however we can.
We are guided by a unified mission and set of three core values. These principles are communicated throughout our organization, from our home office throughout our network of local caregivers.
The Executive Home Care Mission
We work in a unique industry with unique opportunities to provide meaningful improvement in seniors’ lives. We also realize that this comes with great responsibility.
At Executive Home Care, our mission is to improve quality of life for our clients and their families while focusing on service excellence.
By ‘service excellence’ we don’t just mean showing up every day and meeting client needs. With every client visit, we bring our humanity with us. We view our clients as extensions of our family, and we treat them as if they were part of our own circle of friends.
…because that’s how we would want to be treated.
Service excellence also means delivering a memorable, exceptional experience not just for the senior, but for their family—the ones who think of them often and who want them to live their best life every day.
Our Team
Kenneth J. Austin, MBA
Executive Director of Finance & Operations
Kenneth J. Austin is a strategic financial leader with over 10 years of managerial expertise in accounting, budgeting, and data analytics. As a key member of the management team at Executive Home Care, Kenneth serves as the architect of the organization’s financial integrity, ensuring that operational excellence is matched by fiscal precision.
An MBA holder with a sharp analytical mind, Kenneth specializes in reconciling large, complex data sets to identify operational deficiencies and implement strategic corrective action plans. His expertise in forecasting and financial modeling allows Executive Home Care to remain agile in a shifting healthcare landscape, while his commitment to transparency ensures total compliance and accurate reporting across all departments.
Kenneth’s professional rigor is driven by a deeply personal “care-first” philosophy. Having spent a significant portion of his childhood as a primary caregiver for his grandfather, who was paralyzed from the neck down, Kenneth developed a firsthand understanding of the physical and emotional demands of home-based care. These early experiences—assisting with daily tasks and providing comfort through touch and presence—ignited a lifelong passion for caregiving that now informs his executive decision-making.
By combining the data-driven discipline of an MBA with the empathy of a lifelong caregiver, Kenneth ensures that every financial decision made at the executive level ultimately serves to enhance the quality of life and dignity of the patients and families his organization serves.

What our customers are saying
Our Values
Executive Home Care operates with guidance from three main values: Commitment, Compassion, and Quality of Care.
Our Commitment
Is, firstly, to the safety of our clients. Secondly, we are committed to their comfort and independence as much as is reasonably possible considering their condition and situation.
The Compassion
of our caregivers is what we look for when we hire them. We screen for people who are genuinely driven by a desire to connect with and support others, and it’s this compassion that shines through in their service to our clients.
Quality of Care
Refers to the technical nature of how our caregivers attend to our clients. This is where training and experience matter most. Providing a high quality of care ensures that our clients can relax more, breathe easier, and simply enjoy more of life.
