Our Story
A Culture That Goes Beyond the Job
My House In-Home Care has served Arizona families for 14 years, and Uma has led it for the past 13. In that time, she has supported more than 1,500 families through some of the hardest chapters of their lives and built a team whose longevity speaks to something that no job description could ever fully capture.
Over the years, My House staff have shown up in ways that go far beyond their roles. They have volunteered on weekends, brought family members along to help make a client’s home livable, and fixed everything from windows to faucets to doors and sinks. During COVID, when elderly and disabled clients had no way to reach groceries, the team organized a food drive and delivered groceries and toiletries themselves, because the need was there, and they could help.
As Program Director Katie put it: “Success isn’t measured only by performance, but by the positive difference we make in people’s lives.”
She Didn’t Know Help Existed. She Was One of Ours.
She had spent 14 years as a caregiver with My House, walking into people’s homes during their most vulnerable moments, knowing the system inside and out. Then, in 2023, a medical emergency left her unable to work. Facing eviction and unsure what benefits she even qualified for, she had no idea where to turn. She had given so much over the years and so My House stepped in. They covered her bills, sent a caregiver to her home, helped her apply for disability and food assistance, and made sure she wasn’t alone through any of it.
But one thing stopped Uma cold: if someone who had spent nearly two decades working inside this system didn’t know what was available to her, what chance did everyone else have?
The Problem She Could No Longer Ignore
That question and 13 years of bearing witness to what family’s face revealed a problem Uma could no longer look past.
Families are making some of the most consequential decisions of their lives almost entirely without information. They panic when hospice is mentioned because no one explained it can mean a nurse beside them at 2 a.m., not the end of hope. They discover too late that Medicare doesn’t cover long-term home care. They don’t know that a little help with laundry or meal prep could prevent the fall that changes everything. They wait until discharge, until crisis, until burnout because they didn’t know another option existed.
And it’s not just families. Healthcare professionals themselves are often equally unaware of what support is available. The gap is systemic.
Uma feels this personally. She is caring for her own aging parents right now, living the very uncertainty her clients have described for years.
CareCircleInsights Exists To Close The Gap
CareCircleInsights exists because of all of it. Not as a referral engine or a platform with financial incentives tied to your choices, but as the honest, experience-rooted resource Uma wishes every family had found sooner.
“It is imperative,” she has said, “that we try whatever we can to get this information out there.”

What Makes Us Different
14 Years of Real Experience
This isn’t content created by a marketing team. It’s built on 14 years of walking alongside Arizona families through some of the most difficult decisions they’ll ever face.
Education, Not Lead Generation
We have no referral fees, no placement commissions, and no financial incentive tied to your choices. Every resource here exists for one reason: to help you make the best decision for your family.
Real Answers to the Hard Questions
When families come to us, they’re rarely asking easy questions. We cover the topics that matter most – family conflict, financial reality, hospice, burnout, and what Medicare actually doesn’t cover, because avoiding them doesn’t make them go away.
Built by Administrators Who’ve Lived It
The people behind this platform have hired caregivers, coordinated discharges, navigated Medicaid, and supported families through crisis – not from a textbook, but from years of doing the work firsthand
About the Founder: Uma Nagulapalli
Uma Nagulapalli knows what it looks like when a family gets the right information too late. As owner of My House In-Home Care and founder of CareCircle Insights, she has spent 14 years leading an Arizona home care agency that has served over 1,500 families. In that time, she has watched the same painful pattern repeat itself over and over.
Families arrive in crisis mode, making life-altering decisions without the guidance they needed months earlier. Healthcare professionals refer families onward without fully understanding what support exists. Preventive options go untapped not because families wouldn’t have chosen them, but because no one told them they were there.
Uma built CareCircle Insights because 14 years of witnessing that gap made it impossible not to. Backed by nearly two decades of real operational experience, 800+ caregivers hired and supported, 1,500+ families guided through some of their hardest chapters, this platform exists to give families the honest, practical education they deserve before the crisis hits, not after.
She is also, right now, doing what so many of you are doing: caring for her own aging parents. She’s not writing about this from a distance. She’s living it alongside you.
