Call Us 📞 (562) 438-5336 Eight years ago in a skilled nursing facility not so far away, our current team of Geriatric Care Managers (GCMs) began working together to serve the seniors in our community. Sharing a similar passion for enhancing the quality of life for aging adults and restoring balance and peace of mind to their families, we started Keen Home Care in 2005 with the mission of helping even more families in ever more profound ways. It was an ambitious goal, but thanks to our more than 75 years of combined experience in assisting seniors and their families, and our comprehensive clinical backgrounds in nursing, therapy and social work, we feel we have made a positive, lasting difference in hundreds of people’s lives. We also believe that with every new success story, we gain new insights into the challenges aging presents to not only the senior, but their entire family. Being seen as “one of the family” to so many of our clients, we empathize with them and understand the incredible stress imposed by the tough and new choices they have to make, and that’s exactly why we founded Keen Home Care in the first place – we love to help. Now, over eight years later, as a seasoned team we are superbly equipped to deal with any situation, whether it’s a chronic condition, assisting with physical therapy or problematic behaviors related to Alzheimer’s or other dementias. Our diversity and experience also allows us to tailor our care to each client’s needs and budgets, which was our goal from the start. Keen Home Care has built the model of senior care we envisioned those many years ago, one built on helping families with compassion, integrity and accountability. We’re proud of what we do and you will be too.

We are proud to celebrate Robert Capan as our Keen Blue Star Employee of the Month!

Born and raised in the Philippines, Robert moved to the United States in 2024 and joined the Keen Home Long Beach team in January 2025 as a valued Direct Care Staff Member.

Before beginning his journey in caregiving, Robert built a distinguished career as a site engineer and project manager, contributing to major land development projects including vertical and horizontal construction, wet utilities, roads and bridges, subdivisions, buildings, reservoirs, and sewer treatment plants. His work required a high level of expertise in cost control, quality assurance, and schedule management, skills he continues to bring to his role with us every day.

Robert is also the proud father of three sons. He loves spending quality time with his family, playing video games, and hanging out with his kids. He enjoys traveling, exploring new destinations, and has a natural curiosity for discovering new cuisines.

Robert is being recognized this month because he embodies the very best of Keen Home’s values–reliable, trustworthy, kind, and compassionate, always going above and beyond for our residents and supporting his fellow team members with positivity and goodwill.

Thank you, Robert, for your extraordinary contributions. We are grateful to have you on our team!

Navigating the aging journey can be overwhelming for both seniors and their families. From healthcare coordination to emotional support, the needs that arise with age are as complex as they are deeply personal.

That’s where geriatric care management comes in.

When a loved one is diagnosed with Alzheimer’s disease, it can feel overwhelming. One of the most powerful sources of support during this time is a strong, caring community.

Assisted living facilities can play an essential role in providing Alzheimer’s patients with a sense of belonging, structure, engagement, and the companionship they need to thrive.

Here are five key reasons why community is so important in Alzheimer’s care:

• Emotional Well-Being— Assisted living communities foster belonging and connection through friendships, shared activities, and supportive social interactions.

• Cognitive Stimulation— Regular social engagement and structured activities in assisted living help slow cognitive decline and keep residents mentally and socially active. >>>

• Meaningful Relationships— Assisted living communities nurture mental and emotional well-being by fostering friendships, shared experiences, and a strong sense of belonging.

• Eases Burden on Family— Families can find relief from daily caregiving knowing their loved ones are well cared for and supported within the compassionate environment of an assisted living community.

• Structured Environments— Individuals with Alzheimer’s experience a higher quality of life, less confusion, and reduced anxiety when supported by the structured, familiar environment of an assisted living community.
