About Us
Serving clients through the EEOICPA White Card Program is our greatest joy.
It's personal for us
We started Trusted Ally to carry on the legacy of my great-grandfather Johney by helping other former workers like him. Trusted Ally is more than a business to us, providing outstanding care is personal.
Candace Honeywell
CEO & Co-Founder
Fighting for the rights of himself and his fellow workers, Johney was among the first to file a class-action lawsuit against the Department of Energy, leading to the creation of the EEOICPA White Card Program.
Our Inspiration
After witnessing the positive impact that personalized home care had on Johney's quality of life, Trusted Ally was founded in 2011 with the mission to enrich the lives of all former nuclear and uranium workers by ensuring they receive the proper care and EEOICPA benefits they are entitled to by law.
Our Mission and Vision
It is the mission of Trusted Ally Home Care to respectfully and compassionately meet the needs of our clients and their families, by listening, planning, educating, and delivering the highest quality of personalized home care.
Our vision is to create and sustain a superior home healthcare agency that supports individuals to live as independently as possible in the comfort of their own homes. We personalize our services to meet your situation respectfully, efficiently and compassionately by fostering independence, preserving dignity, and improving quality of life.
