Asheville Elder Angel Collective
In-home elder care in Asheville, with grace, dignity, and joy
Committed to helping Asheville elders safely age in place, in the comfort of their own homes, including those living with dementia, cancer and other serious illnesses.
Caregiving is my passion, not just a job.
Home is how we all want to spend the last chapter of our lives. I go beyond meeting basic needs: I help enrich the lives of the elders I care for, in the ways they loved earlier in life.
Every family gets to meet me in person before care begins, so you know exactly who will be with your loved one.
Elder care services
Care shaped around each person, through every stage of life at home.
Specialized care
Dementia, cancer & serious illness care
My most important work is caring for elders living with Alzheimer's and other dementias, Lewy body dementia, cancer and other serious illnesses, from the beginning stages through the late stages, including palliative care.
I stay with your loved one as their needs change, so they keep the comfort of a familiar face and a familiar home.

Hi, I'm Jody
I started the Asheville Elder Angel Collective because I believe the last chapter of life should be lived at home, with grace, dignity, and joy.
To me, caregiving is a calling. I care about the whole person, not just a checklist of tasks, and I work directly with families rather than through an agency or registry. That means no escrows and no agency fees: your money goes directly to care.
- Strong & healthy
- Available day and night
- A reliable car
- $1 million liability insurance
- Clear background check and excellent references
