Personalized Connected Care

Welcome to Homewatch CareGivers of Boise, a cornerstone in caregiving services across the Southwest Idaho region since our establishment in 2009. Our dedication to enhancing the lives within our community by providing exceptional care is what sets us apart. At the heart of our mission lies a deep commitment to the individuals and families we serve, ensuring they receive the utmost care and support through every stage of their journey.

Our Founding Story

The inception of Homewatch CareGivers in Boise was inspired by the vision of Eric Wallentine, a former engineer with a rich background in problem-solving and innovation. After transitioning from a corporate environment that lacked personal fulfillment, Eric was driven by the desire to make a tangible difference in the lives of others. This led him to the caregiving industry, where he has been applying his extensive experience and compassion to improve the quality of life for seniors in the Treasure Valley. Eric, a certified senior advisor (CSA), alongside his family, has been at the forefront of our operations, embodying the values of care and integrity that we stand for.

Joining Eric in this journey is Nate Benjamin, a seasoned professional with extensive international business experience. Moved by personal experiences and a resolve to contribute more meaningfully to the community, Nate became a co-founder of our Boise location. His dedication to the welfare of the elderly, especially those battling Alzheimer’s disease, is a testament to the depth of our team’s empathy and commitment.

Our Philosophy

What truly differentiates Homewatch CareGivers Boise is not just our extensive services, but the philosophy that guides our actions: a belief in the value of each individual and the importance of community. Eric and Nate’s partnership thrives on a shared vision of delivering care that is knowledgeable, compassionate, and tailored to meet the unique needs of each person we serve.
