Care by the Ones Who Know You Best
π Welcome to the BYOC Program
Where Care Feels Like Family
What if your care could come from someone who already knows your story?
Someone who understands your smile, your silence, your routinesβand most of all, your heart.
At Empowered Services, we believe the most powerful care begins with connection. Thatβs why our Bring Your Own Caregiver (BYOC) Program invites you to choose the people you trust mostβfriends, family, or long-time supportersβto be part of your official care team. Because real comfort comes from being surrounded by those who truly see you.
Whether itβs a parent, sibling, cousin, or a close friend, BYOC turns natural supports into paid, professional caregivers, honoring the relationships that already bring you strength.
Weβve made the process easy, fast, and flexibleβbecause when the right person is already in your life, there shouldnβt be any barriers to bringing them on board. With customizable pay options and full support from our team, BYOC makes caregiving feel less like a jobβand more like a calling.
π Ready to bring heart into your care journey?
Letβs make care personal, powerful, and rooted in love.
