Eric Barth

Co-founder and CEO

Eric Barth, co-founder and CEO of All Heart Home Care

A mission born from family. Built on service.

Eric Barth founded All Heart Home Care with a simple belief: families deserve compassionate, dependable care delivered with professionalism, dignity, and heart.

That belief came from personal experience. While serving in the U.S. Air Force, Eric watched from hundreds of miles away as his family in Wisconsin faced a series of heartbreaking challenges. His grandfather battled Alzheimer’s. His grandmother fought cancer. His father faced his own cancer diagnosis.

They cared for one another at home — without professional caregivers, without specialized support. Just love, determination, and exhaustion. Eric couldn’t be there to help.

When his military service ended, Eric carried those memories with him to San Diego. For years, he couldn’t shake the realization that so many families were navigating the same overwhelming situations without the guidance, support, and dependable care they needed.

It became clear that home care could be done differently.

Eric later connected with Ryan Ines, a trusted friend and experienced caregiver who had spent more than a decade witnessing many of the same industry problems — rushed care, poor communication, caregiver burnout, and families feeling unsupported during critical moments.

Together, they believed they could build something better: a home care agency grounded in compassion, accountability, professionalism, and genuine human connection.

In 2014, they co-founded All Heart Home Care.

Today, All Heart continues to operate on the values Eric learned in the Air Force — discipline, integrity, and service above self — combined with the thoughtful, hands-on care families deserve during life’s most vulnerable moments.

Because caring for people isn’t just what All Heart does. It’s why All Heart exists.

Our mission is simple: help seniors age with dignity at home, supported by compassionate care families can truly depend on. Every family deserves that peace of mind.

Ryan Ines

Co-founder and LVN

Ryan Ines, licensed vocational nurse and co-founder of All Heart Home Care

Ryan didn’t choose healthcare. Healthcare chose him.

Growing up in a family of nurses and healthcare professionals, Ryan learned early that caregiving isn’t just a job — it’s a calling. It’s showing up with skill and heart, even on the hardest days.

In 2001, Ryan began his career as a caregiver with several home care agencies in San Diego. He loved the work — connecting with clients, supporting families through difficult times. But after years on the frontlines, he couldn’t ignore what he saw.

Too many agencies treated caregiving like a transaction. Rushed visits. Rotating caregivers. Staff who weren’t adequately trained, supported, or valued. Clients deserved consistency, not a revolving door of strangers.

After more than a decade trying to create change from within, Ryan realized the only way forward was to build something new. He connected with Eric Barth, a fellow San Diego resident and Air Force veteran who shared his frustration with the industry. Their skills complemented each other: Ryan’s clinical expertise combined with Eric’s military discipline. In 2014, they co-founded All Heart Home Care.

Ryan didn’t just bring vision. He brought expertise.

Over 20+ years, Ryan has built a depth of knowledge that few in-home care providers possess. Seven years as a Certified Nursing Assistant. Licensed pharmacy technician. Specialized training in Parkinson’s, Alzheimer’s, and dementia care. In 2017, he earned his Licensed Vocational Nurse (LVN) certification — graduating as Valedictorian.

In 2019, Ryan added infection prevention to his expertise, working with one of the nation’s largest skilled nursing companies. Those skills now protect every All Heart client and caregiver.

Ryan also serves as Secretary for the San Diego Chapter of the California Association of Health Facilities, contributing to healthcare standards across the region. His greatest contribution, though, is the care standards he’s built at All Heart — reflecting 20+ years of experience and a lifetime of doing this work right.

Because everyone deserves care delivered the way my family taught me — with skill, respect, and genuine heart.

Vicky Nguyen

Client Relations

Vicky Nguyen Office Assistant

Home care isn’t just about services. It’s about people first.

For Vicky, this work is deeply personal. Her connection to home care began when her own father suffered a stroke. Everything changed overnight. What was once a normal routine became a world of hospital visits, uncertainty, and difficult decisions.

Like many families, they were suddenly navigating unfamiliar territory — trying to understand care options, coordinate schedules, and make sure her father received the support he needed to recover with dignity.

That experience taught her how much the small things matter: clear communication, organized scheduling, a friendly voice on the phone, and knowing that someone is truly there to help.

As an Client Relations representative at All Heart Home Care, Vicky is often one of the first points of contact for families. Whether she’s coordinating services, assisting with scheduling, or answering questions, she works to make every interaction feel supportive, responsive, and reassuring.

She understands that families reaching out are often going through one of the most challenging times in their lives — and she’s committed to making the process as smooth and stress-free as possible.

Today, she brings empathy, organization, and genuine care to everything she does, guided by her own family’s experience and a desire to make a difference.

Care is not just what we do — it’s how we make people feel seen, valued, and safe every single day.

Georgina Moreno

Administrative Coordinator

Georgina Moreno - Administrative coordinator

Every interaction matters — especially when someone needs help.

Since 2016, Georgina has been dedicated to delivering exceptional customer service, but her approach has never been about checking boxes. It’s about people — making sure everyone she works with feels heard, supported, and cared for.

Georgina brings five years of medical experience to the All Heart Home Care team. That background taught her how to navigate complex systems, communicate clearly, and handle sensitive situations with professionalism and heart.

But what truly drives Georgina is her work with seniors. There’s something special about connecting with elderly clients — their stories, their needs, their unique perspectives. It’s her greatest joy.

As Administrative Coordinator, Georgina handles both the operational and client-facing sides of All Heart with equal care. Whether she’s managing billing, coordinating schedules, or serving clients directly, she approaches every task with meticulous attention and genuine warmth.

She understands that administrative work isn’t separate from caregiving — it’s part of it. Every detail she manages, every call she takes, every task she completes affects real families who are trusting All Heart with someone they love.

To Georgina, excellence isn’t just about getting things done. It’s about getting them done with care.

One of my greatest joys is the opportunity to assist the elderly. I love being able to help and make a difference in their lives.

Rina Ines

Payroll & Billing Coordinator

Rina Ines Headshot

Behind every detail is a person who matters.

With a strong background in home care and a passion for helping others, Rina understands that providing exceptional care goes beyond the services delivered in the home. It also means ensuring that the people behind the scenes — caregivers, clients, and families — feel supported every step of the way.

Bringing 12 years of experience in the home care industry, Rina has developed a deep appreciation for the dedication it takes to care for others. This experience has shaped an approach grounded in compassion, reliability, and a commitment to making a difference in people's lives.

As Payroll & Billing Coordinator at All Heart Home Care, Rina plays an essential role in keeping daily operations running smoothly. From managing billing and processing payroll to maintaining accurate records and resolving discrepancies, every detail is handled with care, accuracy, and professionalism.

She understands that behind every invoice is a family receiving support, and behind every paycheck is a caregiver who shows up each day to make a difference. By ensuring that these important processes are handled efficiently and accurately, she helps support the caregivers who make quality home care possible.

For Rina, administrative excellence is about more than numbers and paperwork. It's about creating a strong foundation that allows the entire All Heart team to focus on what matters most — caring for others.

Every detail matters because every person matters.

Ben Torrijos

Senior Hiring Manager

Ben knows what it takes to build a team you can trust with someone’s life.

He learned it in the deserts of Iraq, leading airmen through two combat tours as a United States Air Force supervisor. He learned it by watching his family care for the people they loved most. And he learned it the hard way — losing his grandfather to dementia, his uncle to heart disease, and his father to cancer.

In the military, Ben led people. He trained them. He held them accountable to standards that meant the difference between mission success and failure. When lives are on the line, there’s no room for shortcuts — only discipline, preparation, and people who show up with excellence every single day. Ben earned multiple Air Force Achievement Medals and Operation Iraqi Freedom Commendation Medals.

When his service ended, Ben carried those principles into his career. He earned a Master’s degree in Organizational Management from Ashford University and a Bachelor’s in Technical Management from DeVry University, then spent years in human resources helping organizations build strong teams.

But something was missing. He couldn’t stop thinking about his family — his grandfather’s dementia, his uncle’s heart disease, his father’s cancer. He watched his own mother work as a caregiver, showing up every day with compassion for seniors who needed her most. And he realized this is where his skills belonged.

As Senior Hiring Manager at All Heart Home Care, Ben doesn’t just review resumes. Every caregiver he hires becomes part of someone’s family story. He applies the same standards he learned in the Air Force — rigorous training, thorough vetting, and a commitment to excellence that never wavers.

He looks for more than qualifications on paper. He looks for heart. People who understand that caregiving isn’t just a job — it’s showing up for someone’s grandfather, someone’s mother, someone’s loved one on their hardest days.

Ben knows what’s at stake. He’s lived it.

I’ve seen what happens when families face serious illness. My job is to make sure every caregiver we hire has the skills, the heart, and the commitment to show up for seniors the way my family needed — and deserved.

Calvin Ines

Hiring & Operations Assistant

Calvin Ines - Administrative Assistant - All Heart Home Care San Diego

Calvin didn’t just join All Heart Home Care — he grew up with it.

As the son of co-founder Ryan Ines, Calvin watched his father build this company from the ground up. He saw the late nights, the dedication, the unwavering commitment to doing caregiving right. He learned early that All Heart wasn’t just a business — it was a mission to transform how seniors receive care.

And one day, Calvin will carry that mission forward.

Calvin’s path began at Clark High School in Las Vegas, where he participated in the Academy of Finance magnet program and earned an advanced honors degree. Today, he’s a full-time college student pursuing his accounting degree, building the financial expertise that will one day help him lead All Heart’s operations.

As an Administrative Assistant, Calvin works alongside Senior Hiring Manager Ben Torrijos to identify caregivers who embody All Heart’s values. He’s primarily focused on creating strong matches between caregivers and clients — understanding that the right fit can transform a senior’s quality of life.

Like his father, Calvin understands that caregiving isn’t transactional. It’s personal. It’s about building relationships, maintaining standards, and never compromising on quality — even when it’s harder or takes longer.

Balancing college coursework with part-time work during the school year and full-time hours each summer, Calvin is learning the business from the ground up. He’s not just an administrative assistant. He’s the future of the company — preparing to one day lead All Heart into its next chapter while honoring the legacy his father and Eric Barth built together.

I’m proud to be part of what my father built, and I’m committed to carrying forward the mission that defines All Heart — ensuring every senior receives care they can trust, and every caregiver has the opportunity to make a real difference.

— Calvin Ines

Additional FAQ's on Digital Home Care System

How does bill splitting work?

Yes. HITRUST CSF Certified security—same gold standard hospitals use. More secure than paper.

Extremely rare (99.9% uptime), but caregivers can work in offline mode if connectivity is temporarily lost. Care continues without interruption. Documentation syncs automatically when connection returns.

Caregivers document throughout their shift in real-time. Notes are typically finalized and visible in Family Room within minutes of the caregiver clocking out.

We can set up Family Room accounts for as many family members as you want—local siblings, children in other states, anyone you authorize. Everyone sees the same information. No limit on number of accounts.

Yes. Family Room includes secure document storage. Upload medical records, insurance cards, POLST forms, medication lists, doctor’s instructions, photos—anything important. All authorized family members can access these documents. No more searching for forms.

We update the digital care plan immediately, and all caregivers receive instant notification of changes. This is one of the biggest advantages over paper—updates reach everyone simultaneously, not gradually over days or weeks.

Absolutely. Family Room is a tool for families who want it, not a replacement for human connection. We’re always reachable by phone at (619) 736-4677. Many families use both—portal for quick updates, phone calls for detailed conversations.

We train every caregiver on the WellSky mobile app before their first shift. The app is intuitive—designed specifically for caregivers, not engineers. If someone can text and use GPS navigation, they can use our caregiver app. And we provide ongoing support.

Yes. The Family Room care calendar shows upcoming shifts with caregiver names and times. You’ll know exactly who’s coming and when. No more surprise caregiver switches.

Use the two-way messaging feature in Family Room. Send your message, and the caregiver receives an instant notification on their mobile app. They’ll see it and can respond or confirm receipt immediately.

Yes. All notes are searchable. Want to see every mention of “appetite” from the past month? Type it in the search bar and find all relevant notes instantly. No more flipping through pages of handwritten entries.

You can access the complete care history from the day Family Room access began. Review notes from last week, last month, or since care started. Historical data helps identify patterns over time.

Family members cannot delete caregiver documentation—that’s protected and maintained by All Heart for record-keeping purposes. You can delete your own uploaded documents, but we can often recover those if needed within a certain timeframe.

With your authorization, we can provide limited Family Room access to healthcare providers. This allows better coordination between home care and medical teams. You control exactly who has access and what they can see.

Family Room works both ways. You can access it through any web browser (Chrome, Safari, Firefox, Edge) on your computer, or download the mobile app for easier access on your phone or tablet. Your choice.

All authorized Family Room users see the same care information—we can’t create different access levels for different family members. However, you (as the primary contact) control who gets Family Room access in the first place. If family dynamics are challenging, you decide who receives login credentials.

The messaging system shows when messages are delivered and read. You’ll see confirmation that the caregiver received and opened your message. For critical information, you can also call our office to ensure the message was received.

Yes. You can print individual shift notes, date ranges, or specific types of documentation (like Change of Condition reports) directly from Family Room. Useful for doctor appointments or insurance purposes.

If your loved one transitions to hospice, hospital, or another care setting, we can maintain your Family Room access for a transition period so you have complete records. After care ends, we provide a final data export if requested, then access is closed according to your wishes and legal requirements.

Yes. Family Room is accessible from anywhere with internet connection. If you’re traveling abroad, you can still check on your loved one’s care. The system works globally.

Family Room doesn’t support selective information sharing—all authorized users see the same care documentation. For private family communications, you’d need to use personal email, phone, or text outside the Family Room system.

Change of Condition reports automatically alert you when caregivers document significant health changes. For custom alerts (like specific behaviors or situations), talk to our office—we may be able to add special flags to your loved one’s care plan that trigger notifications.

We typically set up Family Room access during your initial care planning meeting, before the first caregiver shift. You’ll have login credentials and a brief tutorial on how to use the portal. Most families are viewing their first shift notes within 24 hours of care beginning.

Complete Security & Privacy Information

HITRUST CSF Certification - What This Means

HITRUST CSF (Common Security Framework) is the most rigorous security certification in healthcare. It's harder to achieve than HIPAA compliance alone. This certification requires:

  • Annual independent security audits by certified assessors
  • Continuous monitoring of security controls
  • Documented policies and procedures for data protection
  • Employee security training and background checks
  • Incident response and disaster recovery plans
  • Regular penetration testing to identify vulnerabilities

Why it matters: If it’s secure enough for hospital patient records, it’s secure enough for your loved one’s care information.

Bank-Level Encryption Explained

Data in Storage (At Rest):

  • All information stored on WellSky servers is encrypted using AES-256 encryption
  • This is the same encryption standard used by banks and the U.S. military
  • Even if someone physically accessed the servers, they couldn't read the data without encryption keys

Data in Transmission (In Transit):

  • When you access Family Room from your phone or computer, all data traveling between your device and our servers is encrypted using TLS 1.2 or higher
  • This is the same technology that protects your online banking
  • The "lock" icon in your browser address bar confirms this encryption

What this means: Even if someone intercepted the data (extremely unlikely), they would only see scrambled, unreadable information.

Strict Access Controls

Who Can See What

Family Member Access:

  • You decide exactly which family members get Family Room login credentials
  • Each person has their own unique username and password
  • You can add or remove access at any time
  • Family members can only view information for your loved one—no one else's

Caregiver Access:

  • Caregivers only see care plans for clients they're actively assigned to
  • When a caregiver is no longer working with your loved one, their access to that care plan is immediately revoked
  • Caregivers cannot access billing information or family contact details

Staff Access:

  • All Heart staff access is role-based and monitored
  • Office staff see only the information necessary for their job function
  • Nursing supervisors have broader access for quality oversight
  • All access is logged with timestamps

Audit Trail:

  • Every action is logged: who accessed what information, when, and from where
  • These logs are regularly reviewed for any suspicious activity
  • Logs are maintained for compliance and security purposes

HIPAA Compliance - Federal Protection

The Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) establishes federal standards for protecting health information. Our compliance includes:

Privacy Rule Compliance:

  • Your loved one's health information is never shared without authorization
  • You control who has access to information
  • Clear privacy policies explain how information is used

Security Rule Compliance:

  • Administrative safeguards (policies, training, access management)
  • Physical safeguards (secure facilities, workstation security)
  • Technical safeguards (encryption, authentication, audit controls)

Breach Notification:

  • In the extremely unlikely event of a data breach, affected individuals are notified promptly as required by law
  • We maintain insurance and procedures for breach response

Business Associate Agreements:

  • WellSky (our technology provider) has signed formal agreements guaranteeing HIPAA compliance
  • All vendors with potential access to data must meet the same standards

Continuous Backup & Disaster Recovery

Automated Backups:

  • Data is backed up automatically multiple times per day
  • Backups are encrypted and stored in geographically separate secure data centers
  • This protects against hardware failure, natural disasters, or other catastrophic events

Redundancy:

  • Data is stored across multiple servers simultaneously
  • If one server fails, others immediately take over
  • No single point of failure in the system

Disaster Recovery Plan:

  • Formal, tested procedures for recovering from any disaster scenario
  • Regular drills ensure the recovery plan actually works
  • Recovery Time Objective (RTO): System restored within hours, not days
  • Recovery Point Objective (RPO): Minimal data loss (minutes, not hours)

What this guarantees: Your loved one’s care information is never truly lost. Even if an entire data center were destroyed, complete backups exist elsewhere.

99.9% Uptime Guarantee

What “99.9% uptime” means:

  • The system is available and functional 99.9% of the time
  • That translates to less than 9 hours of downtime per year
  • Most families never experience a single outage

Monitoring:

  • System performance monitored 24/7/365
  • Automated alerts notify technical teams of any issues immediately
  • Problems are often resolved before users even notice them

If the system goes down:

  • Caregivers can work in offline mode on their mobile devices
  • Care continues without interruption
  • Documentation is saved locally and syncs automatically when connection returns
  • Your loved one's care never depends on perfect internet connectivity

Multi-Factor Authentication (Optional)

For families who want extra security, we can enable multi-factor authentication (MFA):

  • Requires both password AND a code sent to your phone
  • Even if someone stole your password, they couldn't access your account without your phone
  • Optional but recommended for families with high security concerns

Mobile Device Security

Caregiver Phones:

  • WellSky mobile app requires login credentials
  • Apps lock automatically after inactivity
  • No data is stored permanently on caregiver phones—it's accessed from secure servers
  • If a phone is lost or stolen, we can remotely disable access immediately

Your Devices:

  • Family Room is accessed through secure web browsers or mobile apps
  • You can log out from any device at any time
  • Session timeouts prevent unauthorized access if you forget to log out

Security Incident Response

In the extremely unlikely event of a security concern:

  • Detection: Automated systems and staff monitoring detect potential issues immediately
  • Response: Security team investigates and responds within minutes
  • Containment: Affected systems isolated to prevent spread
  • Resolution: Issue resolved and systems secured
  • Notification: Affected users notified as required by law
  • Review: Incident analyzed to prevent future occurrences

Common Security Questions

"What if I forget my password?"

Secure password reset process via email or phone verification. We verify your identity before resetting access.

"Can hackers access the system?"

Multiple layers of security make unauthorized access extremely difficult. Regular penetration testing simulates attacks to identify and fix vulnerabilities before hackers can exploit them.

"What if my phone is stolen?"

Change your password immediately from any other device. The thief would still need your password to access Family Room.

"Can All Heart staff see my credit card information?"

No. Payment processing is handled by a separate, PCI-compliant payment processor. We never see or store your full credit card number.

"What happens to the data if I stop using All Heart?"

Your data is retained according to legal requirements (typically 7 years for healthcare records), then securely deleted. You can request a copy of your data at any time.

This isn’t just secure—it’s among the most secure systems available in healthcare.

Your information is safer in our digital system than it ever was in a paper binder sitting on a kitchen counter.

Tracking health changes that matter.

The Change of Condition form documents significant shifts in your loved one’s health—new symptoms, changes in mobility, behavioral differences, or improvements in their condition. This isn’t about minor day-to-day variations; it’s about meaningful changes that physicians, families, and caregivers need to know about.

Why have a separate form for this?

Instead of searching through weeks of caregiver narratives to find when symptoms started or conditions changed, this form puts all significant health changes in one easy-to-reference place. When doctors ask “when did the difficulty walking begin?” or family members want to understand the progression of a condition, you’ll have clear, dated documentation right at your fingertips.

What gets documented:

Each entry includes:

  • Date the change was observed
  • Description of the change in condition (symptoms, behaviors, mobility changes, cognitive shifts, or improvements)
  • Caregiver instructions based on the change (new monitoring requirements, adjusted assistance levels, safety precautions, or care plan modifications)
  • Authorization source (Client, Family, Doctor, or Agency)
  • Expiration date for temporary instructions (or marked as "Indefinitely" for ongoing changes)
  • Caregiver acknowledgments confirming they've read and understood the new instructions

Why this form matters:

Early detection changes outcomes. When caregivers notice something different—increased confusion, difficulty walking, loss of appetite, or even positive improvements like better mobility—documenting it immediately allows for faster responses.

Your family stays informed about meaningful health changes. Physicians receive accurate updates during appointments instead of relying on memory. Incoming caregivers know exactly what’s changed and what new precautions or assistance your loved one needs.

One form. Complete health timeline. Better care.

Whether tracking a temporary change after a fall or documenting the progression of a chronic condition, the Change of Condition form creates a clear health timeline. This helps everyone—doctors, family members, and our San Diego caregiver team—understand how your loved one’s needs are evolving and respond appropriately.

Proactive monitoring isn’t just good practice. It’s essential senior care.

How the Caregiver Narrative works.

Each caregiver documents their shift using a simple timeline format that captures the essential details of your loved one’s day. This structured approach ensures consistency across all caregivers and makes information easy to find.

What we document in every narrative:

  • Daily health observations and changes in condition
  • Meals, snacks, and hydration intake
  • Mobility assistance and transfer support
  • Activities completed, mood, and engagement levels
  • Social interaction, conversation topics, and preferences
  • Safety concerns or environmental changes noticed
  • Medication reminders provided (when applicable)
  • General well-being updates and family notes

Narrative Format:

Each entry follows this structure:

  • Start Date | Start Time | Caregiver Name
  • Timeline Narrative (chronological notes throughout the shift documenting activities, meals, observations, assistance provided, and any notable moments)
  • End Date | End Time | Caregiver Name

Why this format works:

This timeline approach provides clear, chronological documentation that’s easy for incoming caregivers to read and understand. Instead of wondering what happened during the previous shift, they can see exactly what your loved one ate, how they felt, what activities they enjoyed, and any health changes observed.

One record. Every shift. Complete continuity.

Whether care is short-term, long-term, or evolving, the Caregiver Narrative ensures nothing gets missed and nothing gets repeated. Your family can review the journal at any time during visits, or we can share photos of recent narratives with long-distance family members who want to stay connected and informed.

Complete transparency and peace of mind, right when you need it.
