About SYNERGY HomeCare in Santa Clarita
PROPELLING LIVES FORWARD
SYNERGY HomeCare in Santa Clarita is owned and operated by the Ehrhardt family, including Chip and his sons Jake and Jaden. The Ehrhardts were first exposed to the caregiving industry through Jaden’s professional experience with another agency, where he quickly connected with those he served and eventually became a lead care coordinator. After gaining industry knowledge and combining it with their deep roots in Santa Clarita, the Ehrhardt family set out to provide meaningful care to the families they have come to know and love.
Chip, Jake, and Jaden will serve residents of Santa Clarita as well as the surrounding communities of Newhall, Canyon Country, Stevenson Ranch, Castaic, Agua Dulce, Saugus, Valencia, Copperhill, Val Verde, Green Valley, Acton, Lake Hughes, Elizabeth Lake, Lancaster, Del Sur, Quartz Hill, Palmdale, City Ranch, and Leona Valley. Together, they provide a range of services, including companion care, personalized in-home assistance, and specialized support for individuals managing chronic health conditions or recovering from illness or surgery.
Jaden’s interest in home care began unexpectedly when a family friend inquired whether he’d be interested in working as a caregiver at his new agency. Jaden agreed and quickly discovered that he had found his passion. Growing up, Jaden was a naturally compassionate and nurturing person, and those qualities allowed him to build strong relationships with his clients, many of whom came to view Jaden as an extension of their own families. His natural aptitude for his new job helped him quickly advance to lead caregiver, and then lead care coordinator, where he oversaw scheduling and operations – the same role he now fills alongside his father and brother.
SYNERGY HomeCare in Santa Clarita provides a wide range of non-medical care options. Companion care includes assistance with cooking, shopping, running errands, light housekeeping, and other tasks that allow clients to live independently. Personal care assists with bathing, dressing, using the toilet, and other activities of daily life.
Jake & Chip Ehrhardt | Owners
Jake leverages his athletic and leadership background to help his brother oversee day-to-day operations. While attending the University of Southern California, Jake was one of the few athletes in NCAA history to become a five-time All-American, a feat he achieved in Men’s Water Polo while pursuing a degree in psychology. His competitive excellence eventually earned him a spot on the Team USA Men’s Water Polo program, and more recently, he coached the water polo program at Brown University.
Chip is a Kentucky native who found his home in Santa Clarita after graduating from Northern Kentucky University. After moving to Southern California to pursue a career in broadcasting, he met his wife Kristin, a SoCal native who graduated from Saugus High School and whose parents called Santa Clarita home for more than 60 years. Now, three decades later, Chip and Kristin are proud that their three boys, Jaden, Jake, and Josh, can call the same place home.
