The show also introduced an alternative to elderly care for families other than sending them to nursing homes - through hiring qualified Filipino Live-in Caregivers to provide one-on-one long-term care and companionship to the elderly, relieving the caregiving stress of families, while also allowing elderlies to age comfortably and with dignity in their own homes.
