Peter and Angela Le
Caregiving isn’t something Peter and Angela Le stumbled into lightly. It’s something they lived — together — long before opening a SYNERGY HomeCare location in La Mesa.
Their journey into home care began not with a business plan, but with caring for one another. That experience reshaped how they think about aging, recovery, and what dignity really means.
Independence, they learned, isn’t the only measure of self-worth. Respect is. When care is delivered with patience and real choice, people can maintain control and dignity even when they need help.
For Peter, caregiving has been a two-sided experience. He has both received care and provided it, a perspective that now guides how he trains and supports his caregiving team.
Trust, he says, is everything. Caregivers are stepping into people’s lives at vulnerable moments, when kindness, dignity, and human connection matter most. That understanding shapes how he prepares caregivers for the responsibility they’re taking on.
Angela’s path to home care was shaped by years of balancing caregiving, motherhood, and volunteer work in local schools. Those experiences taught her the value of patience, organization, and empathy — skills that translate directly into running a home care business. Whether working with children, families, or seniors, she believes people thrive when they feel supported, understood, and genuinely cared for.
Opening a SYNERGY HomeCare location in La Mesa wasn’t accidental. The couple saw a clear need in East County, where a growing senior population and strong sense of community don’t always align with access to truly local, personalized care. Many families struggle to find providers who are present, relationship-focused, and deeply invested in the neighborhoods they serve. That gap convinced them this was the right place to start.
As a military family, the couple is also keenly aware of transition and uncertainty. Military life builds resilience, but it brings its own challenges — especially when it comes to aging, recovery, and in-home care. They are committed to supporting veterans and military families by providing stable, respectful care and working closely with VA resources to help ease transitions at home.
They also understand that many families don’t start looking for home care until they’re already overwhelmed. Angela wishes more people knew it’s okay to ask for help early.
Starting home care sooner can reduce stress, protect family relationships, and lead to better outcomes. Most importantly, it can give families more meaningful time together instead of turning every interaction into a crisis response.
Trust remains central to everything they do. Families want to know who is coming into their homes, and they believe confidence comes from transparency and communication.
Caregivers are carefully screened and trained, families participate in the process, and the team remains accessible, so no one feels left in the dark.
Community service plays a key role in shaping their company culture as well. She is a two-time Volunteer of the Year honoree and sees service as a reminder that caregiving is about showing up with heart. That philosophy extends to her team, where caregivers are encouraged to take pride in their work and recognize the impact they’re making beyond the home.
Looking ahead, success isn’t just measured in business terms. For them, it means becoming a trusted part of the East County community — a place families turn to with confidence, where caregivers feel supported and proud of their work, and where their presence makes a lasting difference in people’s lives. When that happens, they know they’ve accomplished their mission.
