In Home Care That Feels Like Loving Family
Templar’s Hearth is more than a care provider: we’re a place where compassion lives, and where people are treated with the dignity they deserve.
Rooted in Missoula, Montana, we specialize in personalized in-home care that adapts to each client’s unique needs. Whether offering a steady hand with daily routines or navigating complex medical circumstances, our mission remains the same: to enrich lives, foster independence, and bring comfort and calm into every home we enter.
Above all, we strive to create something rare in this world — a space where people feel safe, respected, and genuinely valued.

A Note from the Founder:
It’s funny - the difference between care that’s adequate and care that’s extraordinary is rarely about technical skill. It’s about noticing.
Noticing when someone’s tired but won’t say so.
Noticing that the little dog by their side is their lifeline.
Noticing that the human spirit, even at 92, doesn’t want to be managed, it wants to be respected.
I spent 17 years working in insurance, helping client’s plan for the future, but when my mother needed care, none of that prepared me for the reality of what good care looks like. Or, more accurately, what it should look like.
Templar’s Hearth exists because too much of modern caregiving feels like a checklist. What people really need is attentiveness with intention - a presence that makes them feel safe, seen, and still very much themselves.
That’s why we don’t cut corners, and why we don’t treat caregiving like a commodity. We’re not the largest service - and frankly, we shouldn’t be. Because peace of mind, trust, and continuity of care aren’t items you can just shop for online. They're earned. In person.
Templar’s Hearth is here to earn that trust, day after day. Not with huge advertising budgets, but with care you can feel.
With gratitude,

Why We Started
Templar’s Hearth was born from personal experience. When my mother needed care after surgery, I witnessed how inconsistent and impersonal that care could be — how often she was left feeling dismissed, overlooked, or just another task on someone’s list.
That experience shaped everything. It’s a daily reminder of what care should be: attentive, respectful, and deeply human. I founded Templar’s Hearth to create something better — a service built on trust, where clients are seen for who they truly are and treated with the dignity they deserve.
