About Pallas Care
Pallas Care is a new business serving Los Angeles County. We provide tailored in-home care services that help our clients maintain their independence and age with dignity.

We recruit, train, and retain the best talent in the home care industry.
We’re focused on providing the best care experience possible. That means we’re responding to each client's needs, not offering a one-size-fits-all service. This requires us to be nimble, adapting rapidly to changing conditions. We’re constantly asking, “how can we do better?”
