About Loving Home Care
Compassionate Non-Medical Home Care in Vermont
Loving Home Care is a Vermont-based non-medical home care agency dedicated to helping seniors and individuals with disabilities remain safe, comfortable, and supported at home. Based in Chittenden County, we proudly provide personalized in-home care services for families throughout Vermont with a focus on compassion, dignity, companionship, and dependable support.
Our caregivers work closely with clients and families to create individualized care plans tailored to each person’s unique needs, routines, and level of independence.
Our Mission
We created Loving Home Care to provide our clients with the type of care that we would want for ourselves and our loved ones. Our goal is to improve quality of life by delivering compassionate, client-directed, and innovative non-medical home care services designed around each individual's needs.
We collaborate closely with clients' families, physicians, discharge planners, social workers, hospice providers, and local visiting nurse agencies to create a culture of caring that is both accessible and cost-effective. Through personalized home care, hospice support, and respite care services, we help families throughout Vermont feel supported every step of the way.
Built on Compassion, Family & Purpose
Loving Home Care was founded with a deeply personal purpose. After serving as his father's primary caregiver, founder Dr. Abijah Manga recognized the importance of compassionate, relationship-driven care that truly prioritizes the needs and dignity of each individual.
Rather than creating just another home care agency, he envisioned a care organization built around empathy, reliability, and treating clients like family. That vision continues to guide everything we do today.

Care Rooted in Love & Experience
Many members of our team previously worked within larger healthcare organizations where they felt limited in the level of personalized attention and compassion they could provide. Loving Home Care was created to offer a more relationship-driven approach to non-medical home care in Vermont — one that treats every client with the same dignity, patience, and respect we would want for our own loved ones.
We believe meaningful care goes beyond completing daily tasks. Our services are guided by each client's individual needs, preferences, routines, and personal goals — helping seniors feel comfortable, supported, and genuinely cared for at home.
Caregiver Training & Professional Standards
At Loving Home Care, we believe exceptional care starts with proper training, education, and ongoing support. Our caregivers receive training designed to help them provide safe, compassionate, and dependable assistance across a wide range of care needs.
Personal Care Assistance
Our caregivers are trained to assist with bathing, dressing, grooming, mobility support, and maintaining personal hygiene while prioritizing dignity and comfort.
Alzheimer's & Dementia Care
We provide caregiver training focused on supporting individuals living with Alzheimer's disease and other forms of dementia through patience, communication, safety awareness, and compassionate engagement.
Bloodborne Pathogens & Safety Protocols
Our staff is trained in personal protective equipment (PPE), sanitation practices, infection prevention, and proper handling of potentially hazardous materials.
HIPAA & Client Privacy
Protecting client privacy is a priority at Loving Home Care. All team members are trained in HIPAA compliance and confidentiality best practices to help ensure respectful, secure care.
