Personalized, professional in-home care for aging parents and adults recovering at home — delivered by caregivers matched to your family, with calm, experienced hands.
Born of a promise — and a mountain we grew up beside.
Mt Hood Gentle Care was founded on a simple belief: your loved one deserves to age with dignity, in the home they know, supported by people who feel like family.
We are a small, Oregon-owned agency — which means every match, every care plan, and every check-in passes through our hands. No call centers. No corporate rotations. Just steady, familiar faces.

They didn't just care for Mom — they learned her. Her songs, her stories, the way she likes her tea. It felt like we'd gained family.
— Rachel K., Gresham · Daughter of a client
Four steps to steady hands.
We move at your family's pace. Most clients are matched with a caregiver within 72 hours of a consultation — some the same week.
01
Reach out
A short call to understand what's happening and what you're hoping for. No pressure, no cost.
02
Home visit
We visit in person to meet your loved one, learn their rhythms, and understand the home.
03
Careful match
We pair them with a caregiver whose temperament, skill set, and schedule fit — not whoever's free.
04
Steady care
Ongoing check-ins from our team and a direct line for family — for as long as care is needed.
The Mt Hood promise
The caregiver at your door is someone we'd send to our own parents.
Every caregiver on our team is background-checked, thoroughly interviewed, and personally known to us. We don't use staffing pools or gig apps — the person who shows up Tuesday is the person who shows up Friday.
01
Thorough vetting
Background check, reference calls, and in-person interviews — every caregiver, no exceptions.
02
Consistent faces
The same 1–2 caregivers, week in and week out. Familiarity is part of the care.
03
Family-accessible
Direct line to our owners, not a call center. Answered by someone who knows your loved one's name.
04
No long contracts
Pay week-to-week. Adjust hours as needs change. Pause anytime.
