Home Care That Knows Portland
Jacob and Zac were born and raised in Portland, so caring for Portland families is personal. Whether your mom needs a companion a few afternoons a week in Laurelhurst, your dad needs help bathing after a stay at OHSU, or you need overnight care so you can finally sleep, we build a plan around your loved one and match a caregiver who fits their routine and their neighborhood.
Portland's neighborhoods mix flat eastside grids with hilly westside streets, and local reporting on aging in place notes that some Portland homes sit on hills, lack sidewalks, or are hard to adapt inside for accessibility. That makes help with stairs, bathing and getting to appointments a common need for families. About 14.2% of Portland residents are 65 or older, according to U.S. Census Bureau QuickFacts.

Two Brothers. One Promise to Portland Families.
Jacob and Zac Schmerber were born and raised in Portland, and they started Providential so every senior in their community does more than age in place; they thrive in it. You won't be routed through a national call center: you'll talk with the people who run the company, and they'll stay involved in your loved one's care.
Every plan starts with a conversation about the person (their routines, their history, and what a good day looks like), and we match caregivers to fit.
