How will we stay connected? (Communication & HIPAA Portals)
We believe communication is the foundation of trust. You should never have to wonder about your loved one’s day. We are currently rolling out HIPAA-compliant family portals that will allow you to receive real-time wellness updates and coordinate directly with our care team from your phone.
How secure is the residence? (Safety & Monitoring)
Safety is our priority. Our home features 24/7 awake staff and unobtrusive wellness monitoring. The residence is fully secure, utilizing modern technology that respects privacy while ensuring help is never more than a moment away.
When can I visit? (Visiting Hours & Open Door Policy)
This is your loved one’s home, which means our door is always open for you. We maintain a Boutique Open-Door Policy; whether you want to drop by for morning coffee or join us for a shared Sunday dinner, you are always welcome.
How do you compare to a traditional nursing facility?
Most large facilities have a ratio of 15+ residents to one caregiver. At Love & Care, we maintain a strict 1:4 staff-to-resident ratio. We replace long, clinical hallways and rotating staff with a consistent, familiar team and a living room where neighbors become friends.
How do I talk to my parent about moving?
Moving is emotional. We recommend framing the conversation around "safety" and "lifestyle" rather than "help". Focus on the burdens they can let go of — like cooking and home maintenance — rather than the independence they fear losing.
What is included in the cost? (Transparent Pricing)
Our all-inclusive pricing model means no surprise bills. Your single monthly fee covers your private suite, 24/7 care, chef-prepared dining, laundry, and all utilities. We provide the transparency you need to plan your family’s future with confidence.
Meet the Founders.
Love & Care was born from a simple belief: healing happens best in a home, not a hallway. Our founders designed this residence to be a "dignified alternative" to institutional care — blending the professional safety net of a large facility with the warmth and privacy of a boutique guest house.
Samson Getinet Co-Founder & Operations Director
Samson founded Love & Care with a deep-seated commitment to patient-centered care and a vision for a more dignified recovery experience. With over a decade of leadership in high-level rehabilitation hospitals, Samson recognized that the path to regaining independence is most effective when clinical expertise is delivered within the comfort of a home, not a hallway.
Previously serving as a Senior Lead Therapy Assistant at Encompass Health Rehabilitation Hospital, Samson led teams in executing complex therapeutic treatments and specialized mobility training. His extensive background as a Restorative Nursing Aide at Lifecare Hospital of Plano and Plano Specialty Hospital gave him a unique perspective on the intersection of nursing and therapy, specifically in managing activities of daily living (ADLs) and maintaining clinical safety while promoting resident independence.
At Love & Care, Samson ensures that our "safety net" is built on a foundation of professional excellence. He oversees our residential recovery programs, specializing in helping residents regain strength and mobility after surgery or hospitalization. By maintaining a high 1:4 staff-to-resident ratio, Samson ensures that the clinical sterilization, vital monitoring, and personalized exercise plans found in large hospitals are delivered with the quiet, personal touch of a boutique sanctuary.
