This is the power of heart.

My caregiver, Marselena, identified this morning that a loved one’s mobility was declining pretty quickly since we last saw her.

It was so bad she advised me she’s labeling her a ‘fall risk’.

I reached out to the family, they not only don’t have access to a walker, they are currently heading to Hawaii on vacation.

What next? I rallied and found another loved one with an extra walker on hand.

Now the evening caregiver, Claudia, will pick it up to start her shift.

This is how and why we serve.

Taking care of someone with dementia is a full-time job, but you don't have to do it alone.

Our respite care services give you the time to rest while the person living with dementia enjoys engaging activities in a safe environment.

She’s the reason we care this way…

The beautiful woman on the cover of When The Strong Get Tired is the grandmother of our founder, Nikki K. Lopez.

Her love, her dignity, and her journey through aging and care are the heartbeat behind Caring Haven and this new book.

This book is a tribute to every caregiver who shows up day after day, even when they are exhausted, overwhelmed, or unsure if they are doing it right.

At Caring Haven, we believe caregiving is sacred. It is powerful, emotional, and often isolating. That is why When The Strong Get Tired exists. It is full of real stories, real emotions, and real support for the people doing the hardest work behind closed doors.

Whether you are a professional caregiver or caring for someone you love, we hope you find yourself in these pages.

Available now on Amazon to start.
