Our story

Built on genuine compassion

We built EriphillCare around one belief — that every person deserves dignified, compassionate care delivered by people who genuinely care. Founded by a family driven by a passion for elevating the standard of in-home support, with deep hands-on experience caring for seniors.

Our caregivers are carefully screened, trained, and matched to your loved one's personality and needs. As a KDHE-licensed agency, we meet the highest standards of care in Kansas — providing help with daily activities, companionship, and light household tasks. Based in Lawrence, we proudly serve families across Douglas, Johnson, Wyandotte, and Shawnee Counties.

The little things matter most

A shared hobby, a good conversation, a laugh over coffee — this is what care looks like with EriphillCare.

Our standards

How we select our caregivers

We don't just hire caregivers — we choose people who see this work as a calling, not just a job.

Background Checks

Every caregiver undergoes comprehensive criminal background screening before they ever meet a client.

Reference Verification

We personally verify references and speak with past employers about work ethic and character.

Ongoing Training

Our caregivers receive continuous education to stay sharp, skilled, and up to date with best practices.

Compassion First

We hire for heart. Skills can be taught — genuine care for people is something you either have or you don't.

Smart Matching

We match based on personality, interests, and care needs — so your loved one feels genuinely comfortable.

Supervised & Supported

We stay in regular contact with both caregivers and families to ensure everything is going as it should.
