The Problem – When Families Become Nurses, Everyone Suffers
For so many families, the journey into caregiving begins with love—and quickly turns into exhaustion. It is a family quietly battling an invisible struggle. It doesn’t show up in lab results or on insurance forms. It’s the tear-streaked face of a daughter administering meds at 3 a.m. because the nurse couldn’t come. It’s the son who leaves work early—again—to catheterize his father because no one else can. It’s the daughters/sons who are now the schedulers. It’s spouses who are now caregivers. It’s the grandmother who feels like a burden because her family has become her care team.

The home, once a sanctuary, becomes a mini hospital. It’s exhausting. It’s overwhelming. And most painfully—it’s isolating. Families are desperate for help, but they’re afraid: afraid to lose control, afraid of impersonal care, afraid no one will love their person the way they do.

Health systems are overwhelmed. County case managers are juggling caseloads that would break most of us. Discharges are happening faster, but the support at home hasn’t caught up. Gaps appear. Clients fall. Readmissions climb. Families burn out. Everyone loses. County case managers watch this cycle repeat every day.

Dr. Charles Manakpalah and Emmanuel Miantona, RN knew these stories very well. They had seen it every day in health facilities, on home visits, during calls from overwhelmed families. And they knew: something had to change.

The Desire to Change – “There’s Got to Be a Better Way”

These were the same silent cries with a consistent theme: “We need help—but we want to stay a family.”
These cries turned into the mission that founded BetterHealth LLC to provide the solutions to two questions:

  1. What if families didn’t have to choose between love and care?
  2. What if healing at home could be dignified, personal, and empowering—not just for the patient, but for their entire circle of support?

The Solution – A Home Care Agency That Understands the Human Side of Health

And so BetterHealth LLC was born—not just to “provide services,” but to transform the lives of patients and their families.

  • We empower families to be family again. Not caregivers. Not case managers. Just moms and dads. Sons and daughters.
  • We support patients with compassionate, delegated nursing care tailored to their lives, not just their conditions. Our care plans are built to foster independence, not dependency.
  • We partner with providers to build seamless, doctor-approved care plans that reduce the risk of hospital readmissions.
  • Case managers refer a complex patient to BetterHealth and know care will be continuous, safe, compliant, and compassionate.


We do it with heart. We do it with dignity. We do it because we believe no one should lose themselves in the process of helping someone they love.

Visualize the Change – Imagine a World Where the System Works Together

Imagine this:
A patient is discharged with complex medical needs. The hospital calls us before the family even arrives.
By the time the client walks through their front door:

  • Our nurse is waiting within 24 hours
  • Medications? Sorted.
  • Vitals? Monitored.
  • Ventilator? Working.
  • Wound? Dressed.
  • Family? Relaxing—because they trust us.


Instead of crying themselves to sleep, they smile again. They cook dinner. They hold hands—not because they must, but because they want to.

The hospital? Relieved—because they know this patient won’t be back in 48 hours.
The case manager? Empowered—because they didn’t just check a box; they changed a life.

This is not a fantasy. This is happening every day because BetterHealth LLC is closing the gap between “discharged” and “recovered.”

We are helping hospitals free up beds, lowering hospital-acquired infection rates, reducing readmissions, and giving families their lives back—all while helping clients heal at home with dignity.
