About Essential Quality Care
A family-owned home care agency in Portland, Oregon.
Essential Quality Care is dedicated to providing personal, family-focused support, with care conversations shaped around the individual and life at home.
Our story
Why our founders started EQC
The motivation to start Essential Quality Care happened when we cared for our own dear family members and close friends in their final days. Upon realizing the dire need for quality care, specifically for individuals who want to remain in their home while transitioning or trying to get better, we resolved to use our collective backgrounds and expertise to help other families who need trained and professional caregivers, who are passionate about their calling to provide care.
