Inspired

By Grandma

Due to health issues, Grandma Chizek lived with her daughter Diane's family for a number of years. When she could no longer be left alone, the family began searching for options. They were surprised to find that there was not an agency nearby that could provide the non-medical in home care they needed. Recognizing Diane's and her daughter Sonja's heart for others, and the wider scope of the need, a family member suggested that they start an agency of their own. And so, in 1998, TLC was born!
