Meet Our Team

Home Helpers of Santa Clara Valley is locally owned and Operated by Ketan Shah & Dr. Zarna Joshi. Both Ketan and Zarna are from families made up of doctors and healthcare providers. They both are gratified by the experience of helping people live independently for as long as safely possible.

Together they have over thirty years of health care and business experience.

Zarna believes in the ideology that prevention is better than a cure. As a doctor, she loves educating her patients about their medical conditions and how to effectively manage them, and she works with her patients to identify ways to keep fit and healthy. Zarna’s philosophy is to provide personal centered care and to address the physical, emotional and spiritual needs of her patients and their loved ones. Zarna’s experience as a doctor is a great benefit to the Home Helpers business. Her spirit of compassion is evident in the service she and Ketan provide to their Home Helpers clients.

Ketan realized the importance of getting quality home care after his grandma was diagnosed with a long-term illness and was bed ridden for over five years. The care provider his family hired made a huge difference in the overall quality of life for both his grandma and the family who loved her. Ketan thrives on providing the same extra ordinary service to his clients that he would expect to receive for his own family and loved ones.
