About Us
The Executive Home Care experience is steeped in understanding of aging, and it comes from a place of genuine compassion for our fellow human being. With every interaction we have with our clients, we express our desire to improve their lives however we can.
We are guided by a unified mission and set of three core values. These principles are communicated throughout our organization, from our home office throughout our network of local caregivers.
The Executive Home Care Mission
We work in a unique industry with unique opportunities to provide meaningful improvement in seniors’ lives. We also realize that this comes with great responsibility.
At Executive Home Care, our mission is to improve quality of life for our clients and their families while focusing on service excellence.
By ‘service excellence’ we don’t just mean showing up every day and meeting client needs. With every client visit, we bring our humanity with us. We view our clients as extensions of our family, and we treat them as if they were part of our own circle of friends.
…because that’s how we would want to be treated.
Service excellence also means delivering a memorable, exceptional experience not just for the senior, but for their family—the ones who think of them often and who want them to live their best life every day.
Our Team
Haley Welsh and Michael Nef
Owners of Executive Home Care San Diego, CA
Executive Home Care of San Diego was built on purpose, service, and the belief that seniors deserve to age with dignity in the place they call home.
For owners Haley Welsh and Michael Nef, this journey is deeply personal. Together, they made the intentional decision to step away from corporate careers and dedicate their lives to serving seniors and families during some of life’s most important moments.
Haley began caregiving straight out of high school, developing a deep respect for seniors and the responsibility that comes with caring for someone’s loved one. She later spent more than a decade as an engineer and land surveyor, gaining the organization, precision, and problem-solving skills that now shape her approach to care coordination. As a proud U.S. veteran, Haley brings discipline, accountability, and a strong service-driven mindset into every aspect of the agency.
Michael’s path began in Switzerland, where he grew up surrounded by values of respect, warmth, and thoughtful care for older adults. After building a successful career in Supply Chain, Procurement, and Operations in the U.S., he felt called to make a more personal impact. Inspired by European caregiving traditions and the community-driven values he has embraced in America, Michael brings a unique blend of professionalism, elegance, and compassion to home care in San Diego.
Coming from a large, close-knit family, Haley understands the importance of trust, communication, and showing up for the people you love. Together, she and Michael believe that family, friendship, and connection are at the heart of quality care. That belief shapes how they lead their team and how every client is treated—not as a case, but as a person.
At Executive Home Care of San Diego, Haley and Michael provide personalized, non-medical home care services designed to support independence, safety, and peace of mind. They work closely with families, healthcare professionals, and community partners to ensure care is seamless, responsive, and tailored to each individual’s needs—especially during transitions such as hospital discharge or changes in health.
Their mission is simple: to help seniors and adults thrive at home, surrounded by compassionate care that feels like family. Whether you are a family seeking support or a professional looking for a trusted home care partner in San Diego, Haley and Michael are committed to walking alongside you with integrity, heart, and excellence.
Michaele Schmuckal
Office Manager / Care Coordinator
As a proud San Diego native who grew up in Imperial Beach and Chula Vista, I’ve always believed that community, connection, and compassion are at the heart of great care. My journey in the health field spans more than 20 years, shaped by diverse experiences and a deep commitment to supporting others.
For two decades, I lived in Valdez, Alaska, where I raised my daughter as a single parent and built a meaningful career in healthcare. I spent 16 years at the local hospital as the Lead Health Unit Coordinator, and I also served as a caregiver for seniors and individuals with disabilities. During that time, I helped launch a volunteerbased nonprofit inhome care organization—an experience that strengthened my belief in the power of service, dignity, and human connection.
Today, I bring that same understanding and compassion to Executive Home Care. I support both our caregivers and our clients with the goal of meeting seniors exactly where they are—honoring their independence, their stories, and the lives they love. My purpose is to ensure every client is matched with a caregiver who fits their needs, personality, and lifestyle, creating relationships that bring love, laughter, joy, and comfort into the home.
Caring for others is more than a profession for me—it’s a calling. And I’m grateful every day for the opportunity to help our seniors continue living life to the fullest, with dignity and warmth.
What our customers are saying
Our Values
Executive Home Care operates with guidance from three main values: Commitment, Compassion, and Quality of Care.
Our Commitment
Is, firstly, to the safety of our clients. Secondly, we are committed to their comfort and independence as much as is reasonably possible considering their condition and situation.
The Compassion
of our caregivers is what we look for when we hire them. We screen for people who are genuinely driven by a desire to connect with and support others, and it’s this compassion that shines through in their service to our clients.
Quality of Care
Refers to the technical nature of how our caregivers attend to our clients. This is where training and experience matter most. Providing a high quality of care ensures that our clients can relax more, breathe easier, and simply enjoy more of life.
