About us
A Christ-centered, veteran owned care company
Care of the Potter's Hands LLC sends non-medical care aides into homes across Greenville County. Same owners and same faith as The Potter's House — a different kind of help.
The purpose
What we are here to do
Keep people in their own homes, safely and with their dignity intact, for as long as that is the right answer for them.
Most of what makes that possible is not complicated. It is a hot meal, a shower without fear of falling, clean sheets, a ride to the cardiologist, and somebody to talk to on a Tuesday. It is unglamorous and it is the whole job.
This is non-medical care. Our aides help with personal care, companionship and transportation. We do not provide nursing, medical treatment or therapy, and we do not administer medication — our aides give medication reminders.

Our faith
Christ-centered, and everybody is welcome
We are a Christian business and we are not going to be coy about it. It is why the company is named for the potter and the clay.
What it means in a house: patience with somebody having a bad day, honesty about what we can and cannot do, and treating a person as a person. What it does not mean: that we only serve Christians, or that anyone will be preached at in their own living room. Care is for whoever needs it.
What we are
Why families call us
- In their own home
- The house, the chair, the window they know. Staying put is most of what people mean when they say they want to keep their independence.
- Christ-centered
- This is a Christian business and we do not hide it. It shows up as patience, honesty and treating a person like a person — and everyone is welcome here regardless of what they believe.
- Veteran owned
- Nineteen years in the Army, active and reserve. It shows in how the work gets scheduled, and in who tends to call us.
Who owns it
Veteran owned
Our owner served nineteen years in the United States Army — four on active duty and fifteen in the Reserve.
Families with a military connection tend to find us, and that suits us. If that is you, say so when you call.


The first step
How it starts
Nothing about this has to be decided today. The first step is a conversation and it costs nothing.
One short conversation. What they need, how often, what you are worried about. There is no charge and no obligation for this part.
Which services, which days, how many hours. We would rather start small and add than sell you a plan nobody needed.
Care works when the person walking in is somebody your parent already knows. We schedule for that.

Companionship & Respite
Somebody to talk to, and a break for you
Being alone all day is its own kind of decline. An aide who sits, talks, walks and goes out with them changes the shape of a week — and gives the family member doing everything a few hours off.
The detail
What that includes
- Companionship and conversation
- Recreational activities and outings
- Emotional support
- Friendship
- Socialization
- Walks and time spent outside
- Respite for family caregivers
This is non-medical care. Our aides help with personal care, companionship and transportation. We do not provide nursing, medical treatment or therapy, and we do not administer medication — our aides give medication reminders.

How to reach us
- Phone
- (602) 777-2570
- Where we work
- Greenville County, South Carolina. Care happens in your home — there is no office to visit.

Questions
The things families ask us first
Straight answers, including the ones that might send you somewhere else. If your question is not here, call and ask it.
What kind of care do you provide?
Non-medical care in the home: personal care, companionship and transportation. Our aides help with the day — meals, bathing, grooming, reminders, laundry, errands, rides and company.
Do you provide nursing or medical care?
No. We are non-medical care aides. We do not provide nursing, medical treatment or therapy of any kind, and we do not administer medication — our aides give medication reminders . If what you need is skilled care, tell us and we will say so plainly.
Where do you work?
Greenville County, South Carolina. That covers Greenville, Greer, Simpsonville, Mauldin, Taylors, Travelers Rest, Fountain Inn and Berea. Call and ask if you are just outside it — sometimes the answer is yes.
How is it paid for?
Private pay at the moment — by the client or by the family. We are working toward accepting Medicaid but it is not in place yet.
What happens at the free consultation?
We talk about what is actually going on, what help would make the biggest difference, and which days and hours would work. You get a straight answer about what we can and cannot do. Nothing is owed either way.
Can we start with just a few hours?
Yes. We would rather begin small and add hours when they are needed than put a schedule in place that nobody asked for. We work the hours out together at the consultation.
What does Christ-centered actually mean here?
It means the owners run this business by their faith — honesty, patience, and treating a person as a person and not a task list. It does not mean we only serve Christians. Everyone is welcome and nobody gets preached at in their own living room.
Is this the same company as The Potter’s House?
Same owners, same faith, different service. The Potter's House is a Christ-centered home for senior men who need community and a fresh start. Care of the Potter's Hands sends care aides into your own home. One family of businesses, two very different things.
Paying for care
How it is paid for
- Private pay, today
- Care is paid for privately right now — by the client or the family. We will walk you through what your schedule would cost at the free consultation, before you commit to anything.
- Medicaid is coming
- We are working toward accepting Medicaid. It is not in place yet and we are not going to give you a date we cannot keep. Ask us where it stands when you call.
- No charge to ask
- The consultation is free. So is changing your mind afterward.

Free consultation
Tell us what is going on
No charge, no obligation, and no pressure at the end of it. We will tell you what we can do, what we cannot, and what it would look like week to week.
The process
What happens next
- You send this
- As much or as little as you want. Even “I do not know where to start” is a fine place to start.
- We call you back
- A real person, not a call center. We ask what is actually happening and listen to the answer.
- We say what fits
- Which services, how many hours, which days — and what it would cost, before you commit to anything.
- Or we do not
- If you need skilled care we will say so and point you elsewhere. That happens and it is fine.

Old fashioned works too
Or just pick up the phone
Some things are easier said out loud than typed into a form. Call and talk it through.
This is non-medical care. Our aides help with personal care, companionship and transportation. We do not provide nursing, medical treatment or therapy, and we do not administer medication — our aides give medication reminders.

Our owner
Linda Faye Pickens
Army veteran. MBA, BSN, RN, SCN. She runs both Care of the Potter's Hands LLC and The Potter's House.
- 4 years
- Active duty, United States Army
- 15 years
- Army Reserve
Her background
Why the credentials matter — and where they stop
Linda is a registered nurse with a BSN and an MBA. That background is why this company exists and how it is run: how aides are trained, how a schedule gets built, what gets escalated to a family and when.
It does not change what the service is. Care of the Potter's Hands LLC provides non-medical care. The aides who come to your house are not nurses and do not perform nursing tasks. We are being precise about this on purpose, because in home care the line gets blurred constantly and families deserve to know exactly what they are buying.
This is non-medical care. Our aides help with personal care, companionship and transportation. We do not provide nursing, medical treatment or therapy, and we do not administer medication — our aides give medication reminders.

Service
Nineteen years in uniform
Four years active duty and fifteen years in the Army Reserve. It is where the discipline around scheduling and follow through comes from, and it is a big part of why she started a business that shows up on time.

Personal Care
Help with the day, in the house they know
The everyday things that get harder to do alone, done by someone who treats your mother the way they would want their own treated. This is hands-on personal care, not medical care.
The detail
What that includes
- Meal preparation
- Bathing
- Grooming
- Medication reminders
- Washing laundry and linens
- Special diets and feeding
- Incontinent care
This is non-medical care. Our aides help with personal care, companionship and transportation. We do not provide nursing, medical treatment or therapy, and we do not administer medication — our aides give medication reminders.

Where we work
Greenville County, and the towns around it
We are an Upstate business and we keep the drive short on purpose — short drives are what make it possible to send the same aide back to the same house.
The area
Towns we cover
Greenville, Greer, Simpsonville, Mauldin, Taylors, Travelers Rest, Fountain Inn and Berea — and the neighborhoods in between.
- Greenville
- Greer
- Simpsonville
- Mauldin
- Taylors
- Travelers Rest
- Fountain Inn
- Berea
Just outside the list? Call and ask. Whether we can take it usually comes down to the day and the drive, not the county line.

How we work
Why the same faces matter
- Familiarity
- A person with memory trouble does far better with somebody they recognize. Rotating strangers through the house undoes most of the good.
- Short drives
- Staying inside Greenville County is how we keep the same aide on the same schedule instead of filling gaps with whoever is free.
- Knowing the area
- Our aides drive to the same clinics, pharmacies and grocery stores your family already uses.
- Showing up
- Weather, traffic and distance are the three reasons care gets missed. We remove the third one.

Our services
What an aide actually does in the house
Three kinds of help, in your own home, in Greenville County. You can start with one of them and a few hours a week.

Transportation
Losing the car keys is often the thing that shrinks a life fastest. We drive to the appointment, wait, and bring them home — and we pick up what is needed on the way.
- Prescription pick-up
- Rides to and from doctor appointments
- Errands and grocery shopping
- Transportation to outings
- Flexible scheduling


Plain talk
What we do not do
Being straight about this saves everybody time. We are non-medical care aides.
- No nursing or medical treatment
- No therapy of any kind
- We do not administer medication
- No wound, IV or injection care
If what your family needs is skilled care, say so when you call and we will tell you plainly that it is not us. We would rather send you to the right help than take the booking.

What we do
Three kinds of help, and you can start with one
Most families begin with a few hours a week and add from there. You are not signing up for a package.
This is non-medical care. Our aides help with personal care, companionship and transportation. We do not provide nursing, medical treatment or therapy, and we do not administer medication — our aides give medication reminders.

Who we are
Care of the Potter’s Hands
The name comes from the potter and the clay — the idea that a person is being shaped and held, not managed. That is the standard we hire and schedule against.
This is a Christ-centered business and we say so plainly. In practice it means patience, honesty about what we can and cannot do, and treating a person as a person rather than a list of tasks. Everyone is welcome here, whatever they believe, and nobody gets preached at in their own living room.
You are letting someone into your mother’s house. That should be somebody you would trust in your own.
