Interview Q&A
How long have you been in business?
Daughters & Company has been in business since 1995, is locally owned and operated.
What is your primary product or service?
We provide care management, companionship, transportation and respite care to seniors and the disabled.
How did you first become interested in your line of business? (if owner) - What is your background? (If owner or store manager)
I worked with the founder of Daughters & Company for five years prior to buying the business in 2005. My background is accounting and financial services work, but like most of the staff I employ, there is a passion for working with and assisting Seniors and the disabled.
How do you differentiate yourself from other businesses in your category and area?
We are more specialized with our care management and transportation services. We typically work with clients for one hour to four hours at a time. One hour is the minimum of our engagement versus the two to four hours that others in this industry require. We hire caregivers with more life experience and try to match them up one-on-one with our clients. They truly become a daughter/son/peer to the clients they serve. We are about quality of life in whatever living environment we assist our clients.
How many locations do you have and do you have plans to expand?
We have one administative office with four administrative staff, but serve the Kansas City metropolitan area with staff located all over the map. No plans to expand beyond the immediate area right now.
Provide detailed directions to your location
South of 95th street on Antioch you can turn in front of the Quik Trip coming from either direction - it is on the East side of Antioch. Go to the access road behind Quik Trip, turn right and go to the second brown brick building on the left. Our building is directly behind the municipal pool that sets on the East side of Antioch.
What type of payments do you accept?
Check and cash. Almost all clients pay by check.
Which areas do you service?
All areas of the metro, but predominantly Johnson County and the western portion of Jackson County.
Who owns your company or runs daily operations?
Gary Hamilton is President/Owner.
Laurie Emerson is Client Services Director.
Murray Rubin is Staffing Coordinator.
Pat Becker is Office Manager.
What are your hours of operation?
The office is open from 9:00a.m. to 5:00 p.m. but our staff are available to their clients potentially twenty-four hours a day.
What is the best compliment anyone can give you?
You gave us such piece of mind working with our mom. It was like mom had another daughter to keep an eye on her, to assist her where needed and to be an advocate when necessary.
