Paul Semian - Founder, President

Job Titles:
  • Founder
  • Owner
  • President
Paul created Attendant Care Companies as a result of a strong personal desire to help people in need. When his beloved mother, Rose, was diagnosed with cancer, Paul became her primary caregiver after receiving unacceptable and unreliable service from home care agencies. After her passing, Paul was determined to do something that would make a difference in the lives of individuals and families in need. Since 2003, he dedicated himself to make a positive difference in the home health care industry and finding a better way. His passion to "Make a Difference" is mirrored by all of the employees of Attendant Care Services of Michigan and Progressions today.
