🌙 Our Story
Rooted in Care, Glowing with Support
At Oak & Ember Lifestyle Support Services, we believe that home is more than just four walls — it’s where memories are made, comfort lives, and dignity should always remain intact. Our story began with a simple but powerful vision: to create a trusted alternative for families who want to keep their loved ones safe, comfortable, and independent at home, without rushing into nursing care before it’s truly needed.
The name Oak & Ember reflects the foundation of our mission:
- Oak represents strength, reliability, and resilience — the qualities we bring into every family relationship.
- Ember symbolizes warmth, compassion, and the glowing support that keeps life at home bright and meaningful.
Oak & Ember was founded out of a deep understanding of the challenges families face. Too often, we’ve seen loved ones move into facilities simply because there wasn’t enough support at home. Families stretched thin with work, children, and other commitments felt they had no other choice. We knew there had to be another way — one that kept families together and allowed seniors to remain in the place they love most: home.
That’s why Oak & Ember was born. Our services go beyond just completing tasks. Yes, we help with meals, errands, and light housekeeping, but what truly matters is the connection we bring. Companionship, laughter, conversation, and reassurance are at the heart of what we do. We know that little things — sharing coffee, playing a game, helping with technology, or walking a pet — can make a big difference in someone’s day.
We also recognize that caring for loved ones isn’t just about the individual — it’s about the entire family. That’s why Oak & Ember is equally committed to providing peace of mind for families. When you trust us with your loved one’s care, you can breathe easier knowing they are safe, respected, and supported.
Our story is still being written every day in the homes of the clients we serve. Each visit, each ride to an appointment, each wellness check-in is a reflection of our belief that independence and dignity matter.
Oak & Ember is more than a service — it’s a promise. A promise that families don’t have to choose between overwhelming themselves or giving up on home life. A promise that every client will be treated with compassion and respect. A promise to stand beside families as a trusted partner in care, rooted in strength and glowing with support.
📍 We are proud to serve Moline, Davenport, and the entire Quad Cities region, helping families feel supported and loved ones remain at home — right where they belong.
