Why Families Trust Kore Cares
Award-Winning Home Care in South Dakota
Trusted by Families. Recognized Nationally. Committed to Excellence.
Since 2016, Kore Cares has been dedicated to providing compassionate, high-quality home care across South Dakota. Our commitment to exceptional client experiences and caregiver excellence has earned national recognition from organizations including Activated Insights (formerly Home Care Pulse), Caring.com, and BusinessRate.
What Do These Awards Mean?
Families often ask how they can tell whether a home care provider truly delivers exceptional care.
While every agency can describe themselves as compassionate or experienced, independent third-party awards provide objective evidence based on verified client reviews, employee satisfaction surveys, regulatory standards, and quality metrics.
At Kore Cares, our awards reflect the voices of the families and caregivers we serve—not marketing claims.

Why should awards matter when choosing a home care provider?
Awards provide an extra level of confidence when selecting a home care agency. They show that an organization has consistently delivered high-quality care and exceptional service as measured by the people who matter most—its clients, their families, and its employees. While awards shouldn't be the only factor in your decision, they can help identify providers with a proven track record of excellence, compassion, and reliability. At Kore Cares, these recognitions reflect our commitment to helping South Dakotans remain safe, independent, and cared for in the comfort of their own homes.
