CHICAGO—Help at Home, a provider of in-home personal care services, announced it has been named by Newsweek as one of America's Greatest Workplaces for Mental Well-Being 2025. The company said this recognition underscores its 50-year commitment to "caring for its care workforce" culture.
The company said it recognizes the importance of cultivating positive workplace environments. Creating safe spaces where employees can bring their whole selves to work provides a sense of belonging and personal well-being. Over five decades of supporting caregivers and clients, Help at Home's culture of caring philosophy reinforces the importance of prioritization of work-life balance.
According to Newsweek, research shows that organizations prioritizing mental well-being see higher engagement, lower turnover and improved productivity.
With 60,000 caregivers delivering 85 million hours of in-home care annually, Help at Home's meaningful support begins with the company's caregiver-first approach, which has led to impact, including higher-than-average caregiver retention and an average caregiver-client relationship tenure of four years—driving high satisfaction and improved quality of care outcomes.
"We view it as our responsibility—and our privilege—to support and equip our teams so they can do their best work," said Help at Home's Chief Human Resources Officer Michelle Bonfilio. "The servant-leader mindset drives every decision we make. When our teams feel cared for—their mental, physical and emotional health alike—they're able to deliver on our mission authentically and compassionately. We put ourselves in the shoes of our care workforce teams acknowledging their physical and psychological needs supporting mental health and well-being."
Help at Home's commitment to mental well-being is rooted in active listening and continuous improvement. For example, the company's Caregiver Committee was created to elevate the voices of caregivers and ensure they remain central to the company's decisions. Additionally, another example of support is The Help at Home Community Foundation which offers tax-free grants to caregivers facing personal hardships.

"It's always something new, always something different. Every day, it's always just something good. There's never a bad day working here," she said about Help at Home.
