Dignified Hope Care Community Services

Dignified Hope Care Community Services is focused to help patients in our community who cannot afford to be cared for in the safety and comfort of their homes.

Founder’s Message

Just like our patient's needs have evolved, so has the founder of Dignified Hope Care. Ranelle Franklin Baldwin, CEO & Founder, has primarily been caring for seniors for over a decade. She attributes her inspiration and success to her mentors: religious advisors, political figures, the countless professionals working in the medical community, specifically the geriatric care community, and the patients themselves whom she has cared for. Her dedication to the high standards she maintains within the staff she hires, and coaches, is what truly sets her company apart from the competition. It has long been an endeavor to accomplish being able to carry out the same superior care to individuals in our community for those less fortunate. Many years of self-dedication, support from other local leaders in our community, and experience from the vast mature clientele she has served have brought to fruition the necessity to form a nonprofit portion of our services for those without resources. It is with great honor to announce Dignified Hope Care Community Services a local non-profit service that will provide the same quality of care for patients assessed with financial disparity that have a need for one on one care. Healing with Hope is what Dignified Hope Care Community Services will provide one patient at a time ensuring our loved ones are cared for with dignity.

"To care for others, to truly care, gives meaning to ourselves, which in turn gives meaning to mankind."

Ranelle Baldwin -President & Founder

Our Mission

Dignified Hope Care Community Services understands that even from a medical standpoint the emotional state of mind is a huge factor in healing and comfort for each person we care for. Maintaining independence and quality of life is our approach to assistance for our patients. A lack of resources beyond a few hours weekly for one on one care for patients forces the necessity for patients to leave their homes or the current level of care they have grown accustomed to. Dignified Hope Care Community Services will help give options for added support and healing in their home with dignity. The level of care will be assessed, qualified, and supported for each individual we serve. Dignified Hope Care Community Services will be focused to help varied ages of patients in our community who cannot afford to be cared for in the safety and comfort of their home. Our patients are worth the investment as they are who give us life, inspiration, and purpose. This is why Dignified Hope Care Community Services will pursue to provide quality professional care to those in need. Isaac Schick has been an integral part of the start up with DHCCS, and is now working on building team and awareness in the community with our founder.

Resolutions of Hope Brochure

Our organization is excited to be hosting our first big event, especially since so many community leaders will be in attendance. We can't wait for you to meet our board: Cardiologist Dr. Bocchicchio, Kay Frye NP at Cottage Health, Heather Mereno mayor of Atascadero, Nicole Pazdan from Elder Placement, Auditor Ruby Martinez from Pacific Premier bank, our Executive Relations Director Isaac Schick, and Attorney John Ronca. We have no doubt this board is going to do great things for the community. 

What is a community but an extension of our family? To pay homage to our ancestors helps to bring closure and connection with our past. A community carries vast memories, our loved ones lost need not be forgotten. Thus our event will help tie the broader community to its history and pay tribute to those who once were with us. In a more literal sense, this event will bring the community together in acknowledgment that we all represent each other's, extended family.

If you are interested in donating or want a tribute frame, we are still accepting sponsorships for the event. All proceeds will go towards funding our first patients. If this is something you're interested in, please contact us.
