💙 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 routines—and most of all, your heart.
At Empowered Services, we believe the most powerful care begins with connection. That’s why our Bring Your Own Caregiver (BYOC) Program invites you to choose the people you trust most—friends, family, or long-time supporters—to be part of your official care team. Because real comfort comes from being surrounded by those who truly see you.
Whether it’s a parent, sibling, cousin, or a close friend, BYOC turns natural supports into paid, professional caregivers, honoring the relationships that already bring you strength.
We’ve made the process easy, fast, and flexible—because when the right person is already in your life, there shouldn’t 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 job—and more like a calling.
