A Message From Our Founder, Michael Lu

I grew up with my grandmother in the 1970s in Shanghai, China. I was the last of nine grandchildren she helped raise, and some of my dearest memories come from the time we spent together, just the two of us. We talked, laughed, and cherished the little moments of life. For over ten years, she was my protector, and I was her joy. She passed away a year before I started university, which I know would have meant a great deal to her if she had known.

My grandmother’s love, presence, and care left a lasting mark on me. When I faced a career transition in 2012, it was her memory that inspired me to start a home care company. Through her, I found a passion: to build a care model that not only helps people live safely at home, but also brings them joy, dignity, and human connection along the way.

At CareHop, we aim to make life a little easier, not just for those in need of care but also for their families and the caregivers who support them. Let us bring peace of mind, and most importantly, a little sunshine into your home.

Why We Started

Home is sacred.

It’s where people feel safe, connected, and whole, whether they’re growing up, healing, or aging. It’s no surprise that 90% of adults over 65 want to stay in their homes as they age¹, and children with complex medical needs experience better emotional outcomes and fewer hospitalizations when they receive care in the comfort of a familiar home environment².

Yet too often, families are forced to choose: get the care they need, or stay in the home they love. It doesn’t have to be that way.

CareHop was founded in 2012 to close this gap, so no one has to choose between care and comfort. We bring sunshine to your home, helping people of all ages live fully, joyfully, and with dignity in the place they belong: home.
