After a transformative experience caring for my mother during her journey with cancer, I found a new mission: helping families in the greater Seattle area navigate the challenges of home care for their aging loved ones.

My husband Wes and I own and operate Acti-Kare Responsive In-Home Care, a locally owned agency with over 10 years of serving families across the Puget Sound region — including King, Snohomish, and Pierce Counties. We bring a shared background in operations, marketing, technology, staffing, and customer experience to a business we care about deeply — not just professionally, but personally.

Everything we do is rooted in compassion, quality, and a genuine understanding of what families go through when a loved one needs care.

If you are a family navigating this journey, a professional in the senior care space, or simply someone passionate about improving the lives of older adults, I would love to connect.
