Show Notes:
Patrick Flaherty founded Guided Living after seeing the difficulties of finding trustworthy and reliable in-home care. He wanted to create a company where the quality of care and communication with clients and their families were the unwavering top priorities.

He has incorporated great technology into the company like an online family portal that gives families a real time look into their care. One of his goals is to build trust and show accountability to clients and their families through transparency.

Patrick’s team has set the highest standards for care and each client has a dedicated Registered Nurse that will supervise caregivers, perform regular in home check-ins, and most importantly be available for clients and families to help navigate through tough questions and uncertainties during difficult times.

The Guided Living Team treats clients and their families as their own.

He’s in this business because of his passion for care and it’s Patrick’s #1 priority.
