Agencies rotate caregivers constantly. Your parent meets 5 to 10 strangers a month. No one learns their preferences, their story, or their name. Adjo's Touch is built on the opposite idea.
Same caregiver, every single visit
Adjo IS the business. She learns your parent's routine, preferences, favourite tea, and their grandchildren's names. No strangers.
Never rushed. Care at your parent's pace
Every visit is 3.5+ hours. If bathing takes longer today, that's fine. Real time for real care.
Certified, cleared, and fully accountable
Certified since 2015 with a spotless record, police clearance, and vulnerable sector screening.
All services in one visit, one bill
Personal care, transportation, and companionship from one trusted person. No coordinating between strangers.
The home care industry has serious problems. Adjo's Touch is built to solve every one of them.

What most families deal with
Adjo's Touch
How it should be
A different caregiver shows up every visit. Seniors meet 5 to 10 strangers a month.
Adjo IS the business. Same face, every single visit. She knows your parent's routine, preferences, and personality.
Workers are in and out in 30 minutes, following a checklist. No time for anything real.
Every visit is 3.5+ hours. If bathing takes longer, that's fine. If your parent wants to talk, that's the visit.
Agencies charge $45 to $60/hr but pay their HCAs $19 to $23/hr. You pay premium prices for impersonal service.
No middleman. Adjo keeps 100% of what clients pay. Lower prices for you, better income for her. Everyone wins.
Take whatever time slot is available. Need care at 7am? Too bad, the next slot is 10am.
Hours are built around your parent's life. Mornings, evenings, weekends. Your schedule, not ours.
One company for cleaning, another for personal care, another for transportation. Three bills, three strangers.
One person, all services, one visit. Personal care, companionship, and transportation in a single appointment.
Workers rush through tasks and leave. Many seniors go days without meaningful human interaction.
Companionship is a core service, not an afterthought. Adjo builds real relationships, not just completes tasks.

The words of the families who trusted us with the people they love most.
“After trying two agencies, we finally found Adjo. The difference is night and day. Mom actually looks forward to her visits. She calls Adjo her friend, not her caregiver.”
“What struck me was that Adjo remembered everything about Dad from the very first visit. His favourite tea, his stories, the TV shows he likes. She genuinely cares.”
“I was skeptical about private care but the pricing is actually better than the agency we used before, and the quality is incomparably better. I feel relief every time Adjo comes.”

32 hrs · $31.5/hr effective
