Pacific Palisades-based small business Luxe Homecare recently received an award from the office of Supervisor Lindsey Horvath and Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors, recognizing work done throughout the COVID-19 pandemic.
“This week, we honored incredible local businesses throughout our West Valley and Santa Monica Mountain communities,” Horvath wrote in a statement following the event.
Several small businesses in Malibu and Pacific Palisades were honored during the inaugural Small Business Recognition Breakfast, hosted by Horvath at King Gillette Ranch in Calabasas on July 12.
“These community heroes selflessly gave back, even while facing their own struggles during the pandemic,” read a statement made by the Malibu Pacific Palisades Chamber of Commerce. “A heartfelt thank you to Supervisor Horvath, Field Deputy Sophia Soudani and the entire team for this special event. It’s a reminder of the incredible kindness that emerged during challenging times.”
Helmed by Fay Vahdani and Ben Adel, Luxe Homecare offers an array of services geared toward aging adults in the Palisades and surrounding communities to “live with dignity and comfort at home,” including personalized in-home care, health services and more. Vahdani is an “active board member” with the Chamber.
“I am honored to share that our company has been recognized with an award for our service to the Pacific Palisades and Malibu community during the COVID-19 pandemic,” Vahdani said. “This award is not just a personal accolade but a testament to the dedication of our entire team.”
She said the recognition belongs to every nurse, caregiver, physical therapist, occupational therapist, speech therapist and the Luxe Homecare management team, who “faced risks and uncertainties with unwavering commitment.”
“Their selfless dedication, compassion and resilience have been the cornerstone of our efforts,” Vahdani continued. “Throughout the global pandemic, our team stood strong, ensuring that our patients received the highest level of care and support. They have exemplified the true spirit of healthcare heroes, consistently putting the needs of others above their own. This award would not be possible without their love and dedication to our community. This award is for them.”
Other local businesses that received recognition during the ceremony were Sorenity Rocks, The Malibu Lawyer, 4 Malibu Real Estate, Vintage Grocers, Johannessen Homes, John’s Garden, Harwell Brothers, Milestones Ranch and Salon Jazmeina.
“Our small businesses are the very fabric of Los Angeles,” Horvath concluded. “From the Topanga Business Interruption Fund, to the services offered by [Department of Economic Opportunity] Office of Small Business, LA County is here to support you.”
