About
Happy at Home
While going to college in San Luis Obispo and working as a waitress Kaliahna applied for a kitchen staff job at a local retirement home. Turns out the kitchen didn’t need help, but the caregiving department did, and she found herself in an interview that changed the course of her life.

This job is where her simple passion for serving seniors began. She quickly learned the ropes of the 90 bed facility and was promoted to medication technician within her first year. As corny as it may sound, she simply learned that she really loved old people. Kaliahna fell in love with the stories and history they had to share and the way helping them forced her to slow down. After spending several years at this facility she moved onto an in home care position for the flexibility of schedule it provided.After moving to Chico to complete her Bachelor’s degree in Communication Studies, Kaliahna knew she wanted to continue providing care for seniors, but from the caregiver’s perspective. Many agencies and facilities are operated by those who have never themselves provided care for others and Kaliahna saw a need to change that.
People directly providing care know how to connect with and meet the needs of their clients while also needing a place to work where they feel valued and appreciated. Happy at Home has been a workplace for hundreds over the years and is always working to improve and connect with caregivers and their needs when serving seniors.
The Cutler family has been multi-generational entrepreneurs/business owners, so starting something from nothing was not a new idea for them. This spirit combined with hearts for helping and serving others is what convinced Don and Vickie Cutler to take a leap of faith on their daughter’s idea to start an in-home care agency in 2013. After considering franchise options, the three ultimately decided to start their own brand and build Happy at Home.
Our mission has always been simple, to love and serve others through exceptional in-home care. Every. Single. Day.
Your Loved Ones Deserve the Best. Let Us Provide It.
At Happy at Home, we’ve made it our mission to provide the kind of in-home care we’d want for our own family members. From daily assistance to specialized memory care, every service is designed to enhance your loved one’s quality of life.
We’ve proudly served seniors in Northern California since 2013, bringing a combination of experience, empathy, and excellence to every client.

Scheduling Manager
Hi there everyone! My name is Koby and I’ve been a Scheduling Manager at Happy at Home for over four years now. I enjoy working closely with the elders in our community and being able to provide them the care-staff that they need. I am a graduate of Chico State with a degree in Business Management. The tools I’ve learned in school have gone a long way in being able to provide exceptional service to our clients.
In my spare time I enjoy lifting weights, fishing, snowboarding, and backpacking.
Happy at Home is a great place to work and I’ve made so many great connections to the community during my time here. Looking forward to more great times to come!
