At Home Caregivers

"Your Caregivers did a great job! They made a very awful and difficult time much easier by being compassionate, helpful, and friendly. Thank you!”

While reading this thoughtful note from one of the families At Home Caregivers served, Peter Rubens could not help but go back to when he was in Manhattan during the 9/11 attack. This experience etched a deep mark in Rubens’ mind, who was then an aspiring wine industry executive, surfacing a deeply buried social service ethos. Witnessing the tragic event, he changed his outlook from a profit-oriented wine aficionado to an empathetic leader focused on doing something meaningful for the people around him.

The next three years witnessed Rubens working tirelessly to build a team of experienced and thoughtful Caregivers to cater to the rapidly growing senior population in California’s Sonoma and Marin counties. This laid the foundation for At Home Caregivers, marking the beginning of a longstanding legacy that has transformed the face of Home Healthcare.

“We live and breathe our mantra—service to others—and maintain a human-centric approach in delivering comprehensive and personalized home care services for the distinctive needs of our Clients and their families. From companionship to hospice care and everything in between, we do it all,” says Rubens, owner, At Home Caregivers.
