If you’ve ever hired someone who looked great on paper but drained your time, your budget, or your sanity… you’re not alone. Most business owners struggle because they’re hiring without the right support structure — and it’s costing them more than they realize. Here’s the truth no one talks about.
This year I attended 23 conferences across the home care and healthcare landscape.
I met thousands of incredible leaders who opened their hearts, shared their challenges, and inspired the mission ABS now carries into 2026.
We built partnerships, strengthened our systems, and aligned our team under one heart and one vision
to help build the future of better home care and home health.
Thank you for shaping our year.
We can’t wait to see you stronger in 2026.
If your Home Care agency still feels chaotic today—missed updates, last-minute fires, caregiver issues, and constant overwhelm—nothing will magically change when the calendar hits 2026. Chaos doesn’t disappear on its own. It disappears when systems are strengthened, roles are clarified, and support becomes consistent. If you want next year to feel lighter, smoother, and more predictable, the work has to start now.
We thought we were bringing early Christmas to the children of PREDA, but what they gave us in return was far greater. In their courage, we saw hope. In their dreams, we saw purpose.

PREDA renewed that truth for us. Their strength inspired our mission, deepened our values, and reminded us that the essence of giving is not what we bring, but what we learn from those we serve.

Through intentional strategy sessions, face-to-face collaboration, and values-driven reflection rooted in love, support, and excellence, our team reset with clarity—so we can better support healthcare leaders facing staffing challenges, administrative overload, and rapid growth. This retreat marked a defining moment in how ABS continues to deliver reliable, healthcare-trained virtual assistants and operational solutions built for long-term success in 2026 and beyond.
Before we rush into new goals and plans for 2026, I paused to reflect on one simple question:
Who made 2025 possible?
This year was shaped by people — by support, belief, partnership, and love.
I wrote this as a thank-you to everyone who walked with me through the journey and as a reminder that none of us get here alone.
I hope this reflection encourages you to think about the people who made your year possible too.

Caregiver turnover isn’t a staffing problem — it’s a systems problem.
With turnover nearing 79%, home care agencies are burning out teams and turning down cases.
This blog breaks down why retention fails in the first 100 days and how agencies are fixing it with better onboarding, SOC documentation in the first 2 weeks, and operational support.
If you’re stuck in constant hiring mode, this is your wake-up call.
Caregiver turnover doesn’t happen randomly — and it doesn’t start months into the job. It starts in the first 30 to 90 days, when caregivers are deciding whether an agency feels stable, supportive, and worth committing to. Most caregivers don’t leave because they can’t do the work. They leave because onboarding leaves them confused, unsupported, and unsure of what success looks like. When onboarding is rushed, inconsistent, or dependent on who happens to be available, frustration quietly replaces confidence. And by the time leadership notices, the decision to leave has already been made. Retention isn’t a hiring problem. It’s an onboarding systems problem — and the first 90 days decide everything.
Great teams aren’t an accident. They’re built when leaders stop relying on gut instinct alone and start understanding how people are actually wired to work. At ABS, we believe the future of strong teams isn’t guesswork — it’s science. That’s why we’re investing in Culture Index: to bring clarity, alignment, and sustainability to how teams are built, led, and supported. This is the science behind better teams.
