Get to know us
Hi, we’re Stephanee and Daphanee! We started our journey in the residential care industry in 2018, opening our very first ARF facility in California. At the time, we were both working in mortgage, and the idea of moving into residential care seemed like a big leap.
Through dedication, a lot of legwork, focus, resilience, and with the right coach and persistence, we built thriving ARF facilities in California — and have since expanded into HCS group homes in Texas.
Now, we’re excited to share what we’ve learned and help you take the next step toward opening your own successful group home. You could be next.
The Heart Behind What We Do
You might be wondering — why do we do what we do?
Because we’ve seen too many passionate, aspiring service providers start with big hearts and a vision to serve their communities — yet get stuck in the maze of red tape, regulations, politics, and state agency requirements. Only left feeling like you're constantly getting the run-around.
Many already have their homes, got their certifications, and plans in place but end up feeling lost, overwhelmed, and alone. Some even pour their life savings, and time into opening a home, only to find themselves at a standstill.
We’ve been there — and that’s exactly why we’re here.
Our heart is to provide guidance, support, and the tools you need to not only open your home but become in demand.
