Like a member of the family, but BETTER! The level of care and attention that has been given goes above what we as a family could have ever wanted. The level of communication is almost immediate and has been such a blessing to have. If you are genuinely concerned and stressed out about leaving your loved ones in the right hands when you are not available you absolutely have come to the right place. They have worked tirelessly with our insurance and our family members to ensure that all needs and wants are not only met but exceeded. There have been times where we were considering changing to a non in home care facility and we could not justify sending our family members away from home because they are getting such great support and care at home. Everyone has been attentive and open to all of the needs and concerns that have been presented I honestly wish I had more money to compensate them because they constantly go above and beyond. It will never be a 100% relief of all worries when you genuinely want the best for your loved ones but Happier At Home has given us so much relief without compromise it’s amazing. Highly HIGHLY suggest considering them if you need care for a family member and giving them a call. I hope they are still in business when I reach the age when I need a some help as a childless adult because I won’t have a worry in the world! I cannot thank them enough! -Laine

We were very impressed with the caregiving services provided by Happier at Home for our loved one. From the moment we first called, Dana and Toby were genuinely compassionate, professional and knowledgeable. They met us in our home to get to know our loved one and answer all questions, and provided meticulous scheduling that met our needs. The caregivers they assigned provided so much help to us. If you are looking for an in home caregiver it can be tough to know who to trust, but we can recommend Happier at Home without hesitation.

Dana Porter

Owner

Dana Porter is a business professional with a background in Business Management and Finance from USC and an MBA from Pepperdine University. With over 25 years of experience in the pharmacy industry, she and her husband, Toby, along with their pharmacist partners, own and operate independent community pharmacies across Southern California. These locations range from 1,500 to 3,000 square feet and include USPS sub-stations, Hallmark, home medical equipment, and gift boutiques.

Throughout her career, Dana has led acquisitions, negotiated purchases and sales, managed buildouts and remodels, and developed strategies to enhance front-end sales and gross margins. She has also served as Adjunct Faculty at USC’s Pharmacy School, teaching Business Management in the Community Pharmacy Elective. Currently, she oversees operations for her pharmacies, ensuring they remain at the forefront of technological advancements in the evolving pharmacy landscape.

Recognizing the shift in healthcare, Dana is now expanding into Home Companion Care as a Board-Certified Patient Advocate, leveraging her expertise to assist patients in a more personalized capacity.

Dana has served on the WSPC Pharmacy Buying Group Board of Directors, the Amerisource Bergen Elevate Advisory Board, and the REACH Board of Directors, and is an active member of Soroptimist International of Whittier. She has also been involved in numerous local boards and committees, including the Whittier Chamber of Commerce.

Outside of work, Dana enjoys yoga, walking, reading, and spending time with her husband and two boys.

Toby Porter

Owner
Toby has spent more than 30 years in independent pharmacy, and for the last 12 years, Toby and his wife Dana owned and run community pharmacies in Whittier and surrounding communities. Over those years he has helped thousands of local families with medications, medical equipment and the questions that come up when a loved one’s needs start to change.
For years, Toby was the person his pharmacy customers turned to when a loved one needed more help at home. But he never found a caregiving agency in Whittier he could trust enough to put his name behind. So he and Dana opened their own. Now, instead of just giving families a referral, Toby’s team can be there for them in person.
Toby has always looked for ways technology can make care safer and simpler. That’s why Happier at Home Whittier was quick to offer 24/7 Virtual Care with Sensi.AI.
A longtime Whittier resident, Toby is a member of the Whittier Area Chamber of Commerce and is proud to call this community home.
Kelley De La Fuente is the director of outreach for a senior home care agency in Whittier California

Kelley De La Fuente

Director of Outreach and Community Relations

With more than two decades of experience in healthcare and pharmacy leadership, Kelley brings a strong foundation in both clinical services and business operations to her role as Director of Outreach and Community Relations. Throughout her career, she has focused on building meaningful connections—whether with patients, providers, or community partners—always with the goal of enhancing care and improving access to essential services.

Her background includes Business Coaching, financial and inventory management, and regional training, where she coached and developed hundreds of pharmacy managers and owners to strengthen customer service, expand clinical offerings, and support employee growth. Known for her ability to blend strategic planning with a genuine care for people, she has consistently helped organizations grow while maintaining the highest standards of compassion and service.

Her passion for senior care is deeply personal. After her mother was diagnosed with Lewy Body Dementia, Kelley became part of her care team, gaining firsthand insight into the challenges families face when navigating complex health needs. That experience continues to inspire her work, guiding her mission to ensure seniors and their families feel supported, informed, and cared for.

Outside of work, Kelley cherishes time with her family. She enjoys traveling, cooking, swimming, and long walks—and has also fostered dozens of dogs and cats over the years, reflecting her lifelong commitment to caregiving and community.
