By using gentle communication, personalized care approaches, and dignity-centered support, we help clients feel secure while giving families peace of mind.

Our Caregivers Become Family
At Leva’s, we know that inviting a caregiver into your home is personal. That’s why our team focuses on building meaningful, trusting relationships with every client and their loved ones. Over time, our caregivers become more than helpers — they become familiar faces, steady support, and an extension of your family. By truly getting to know each person’s routines, preferences, and personality, we create a caring environment where clients feel understood, valued, and genuinely cared for every day.

2nd Annual Homeless Veteran Food & Clothing Drive
Veterans: Support, Strength, Community
Each night in America, more than 33,000 veterans are without a home—facing hunger, cold, and overwhelming uncertainty. This year, in addition to collecting essential items, we are raising awareness for Veteran Suicide Prevention. Too many of our heroes struggle in silence after their service, and through this effort, we aim to support both their physical and emotional well-being. It is our way of showing compassion and gratitude to those who have sacrificed for our freedom.
Our mission is simple: to bring warmth, nourishment, and hope to the veterans in our community. Every donation—no matter the size—makes a meaningful difference in a veteran’s life.

About Leva’s
We are a family-owned, locally operated, and veteran-owned home care agency grounded in decades of compassion and service. We proudly serve our community with integrity, dedication, and heartfelt care — values that define who we are and how we support every client.
Our caregivers provide personalized, non-medical assistance that helps older adults and individuals with disabilities live safely, comfortably, and independently at home. From personal care and companionship to homemaking and respite services, every care plan is tailored to meet each client’s unique needs.
Leva is the heart and inspiration behind our agency — a powerful legacy of love, strength, and service that continues to guide everything we do. She is the reason Erica created this agency, honoring her grandmother’s lifelong dedication to caring for others. Today, Erica — nurse, owner and Leva’s granddaughter — carries forward that legacy with a strong family-centered vision.
Several members of our family proudly work alongside us, and each of them has been a caregiver for more than 50 years — just as Leva was. Their lifetime of experience, compassion, and commitment is woven into the foundation of this agency and the quality of care we deliver every day.
At Leva’s, we believe in treating every person like family, offering dependable, heartfelt, and professional care you can trust.
