The location’s owners, a local couple, aim to bring compassion & comprehensive senior care to North San Diego

ENCINITAS, California—A Place At Home, a senior-focused homecare provider franchise, announced the opening of its fourth California location, A Place At Home Encinitas. Local couple Joscelyn Perez-Van Valzah and Sam Van Valzah opened the location, through which they intend to serve North County San Diego.

“We’re thrilled to welcome Joscelyn and Sam into our franchise family,” said Dustin Distefano, CEO and co-founder of A Place At Home. “Their career backgrounds and compassion for seniors will help them provide exceptional services to North County San Diego families. We can’t wait to watch their business grow.”  

Joscelyn has experience in health care administration and senior care, while Sam has a background in caregiving and retirement financial planning.

“A passion to help others and improve the quality of life of those in our community drives us,” said Sam. “Having worked as a caregiver and more recently with families to prepare for their retirement, I understand the importance of quality senior care. It's our goal to exceed expectations and deliver top-tier care for seniors.”

The Encinitas location intends to offer comprehensive services to seniors, such as in-home care, care coordination, senior living alternatives and staffing. Beyond providing customizable care plans with these services, the Van Valzah’s aim to enhance seniors’ quality of life, as well as minimize falls and hospital readmission rates.

“As both my grandmothers face their own health battles and require care assistance, the importance of compassionate and skilled caregiving has never been more personal,” Joscelyn said. “When hiring caregivers, I ask myself if they're someone I would trust with my own grandmother’s care. We’re here not only to serve, but to advocate passionately for your loved ones during their most challenging times.” 

The new location will serve Encinitas, Del Mar, Solana Beach, Rancho Santa Fe, Rancho Bernardo and the surrounding California communities. More information about the Encinitas location is available here.
