Our Story

Eight years ago, Andrea Miller, our direc­tor of nurs­ing, wished to cre­ate a home care agency that met her earnest desire to pro­vide out­stand­ing home care in the Mid-Michigan region. Ms. Miller has been involved in the home care indus­try for over 20 years and believes that a home care agency should con­sis­tently deliver first-rate care by hav­ing expe­ri­enced med­ical pro­fes­sion­als assist­ing and direct­ing care. Sim­ply stated, this is her pas­sion after being a local RN BSN for more than 20 years.

Ms. Miller approached her sis­ter, Dr. Sue Mau­rer, for finan­cial guid­ance. Doc Sue decided that the Lans­ing region cer­tainly could use a private-duty home care agency well man­aged by expe­ri­enced med­ical per­son­nel. Thus, Care Con­nec­tions was estab­lished in the spring of 2004 and sub­se­quently won the Lans­ing Cham­ber of Com­merce 2007 ATHENA Busi­ness Award! It is truly a fam­ily run busi­ness as Dolores Mau­rer, Andrea and Sue’s mom, gives a senior view­point of how to edu­cate the pub­lic about Care Connections.

The result is a family-owned busi­ness that rises above many other home care agen­cies by sup­ply­ing first rate in-home client care with nurs­ing cov­er­age 24/7. This cov­er­age struc­ture ensures that the client’s phys­i­cal and men­tal well-being is main­tained in a safe, secure environment.
