Working at DereKare: About the Client Our Team Our Values

The Workplace

A comfortable private home, not a facility.

DereKare is not a facility. It’s a team, and its workplace is the client’s estate: a spacious, modern-looking home on acres of peaceful, wooded land at the city’s edge. The vibe is minimally medical and great for caregivers.

Staff have their own bathroom and kitchen, along with a rest area and guest bedroom for some late-shift overnights.
