Core Values
Our Story
At Guide2Care, our story begins with a simple truth: too many people get lost in a healthcare system that treats everyone the same, often ignoring their unique needs, wishes, and voices. That’s why care navigation matters. We focus on dignity, respect, and collaboration, walking beside individuals and families to make informed choices together. Our role is to provide compassionate advocacy so no one has to face life’s challenges alone. For us, care is more than treatments or protocols. It’s about seeing the whole person and offering family-centered support that ensures dignity and respect at every step. At Guide2Care, we believe true care is human care.
Why We Do This Work
When COVID-19 hit, there was a sense of shared support and collaboration. But when people started to experience adverse events from this vaccine, that support vanished. Many were left without medical care, emotional guidance, and financial help. Their communities disappeared, and they were dismissed and often gaslighted and told it was “all in their head” or labeled as "anti-vaxxers". Witnessing this isolation and injustice, the only option for meaningful support was to start independent advocacy.
This is what life can look like after a severe work injury. Falling 20 feet and shattering a bone isn’t just a moment; instead, it’s months and years of surgeries, nerve damage, cramping, and panic attacks that make even simple tasks overwhelming. On top of the physical challenges comes the maze of paperwork, medical documentation, and SSDI processes that can feel impossible to navigate alone. Without support, many are left isolated, struggling to regain stability and dignity.
Turning Barriers into Support: The Guide2Care™ Vision
“After more than 15 years in healthcare and social services, I’ve seen countless individuals and families get lost in a maze of forms, endless service plans, benefit recertifications, housing deadlines, and multiple case managers couldn’t provide real answers or meaningful support when clients were falling behind on rent, facing housing court, or struggling to navigate critical systems on their own. These aren’t just administrative hurdles; rather, they’re barriers that leave people feeling invisible, unsupported, and overwhelmed.
This inspired the creation of Guide2Care™: a vision for truly personalized, compassionate support that honors the whole person, not just their challenges. We believe care is more than checklists and forms; instead, it’s about taking the time to sit down, listen, and provide guidance and answers without the limits of strict schedules, time constraints, or the pressure to “close a case.”
At Guide2Care™, care isn’t measured by numbers, efficiency, or outcomes; instead, it’s measured by understanding, support, and truly being present for the person in front of us.”
