rowing up, everyone has a dream to become a super hero and help humanity. Heroes come in all shapes and sizes and people seem to forget that the elderly need attention; they need proper care and most importantly, love from family and friends.
Shaista Kazmi, the owner of Apna Ghar LLC, wanted to help improve caregiving within the elderly community after her own father needed proper attention and had a tough time. Kazmi was frustrated by the subpar services her dad received through local caregiving agencies. She felt like there was a language barrier, the staff was not prepared, there were different caregivers each week, they lacked proper training and they were unnecessarily expensive. Therefore, her idea for a company that provided comfortable caregiving was established.
