Owner / ActiKare Responsive In-Home Care Washington

Meet Jennie Ruemping

After caring for her mother during a battle with cancer, Jennie Ruemping discovered her calling: helping families across the greater Seattle area navigate senior home care with expertise, empathy, and a level of personal involvement that’s increasingly rare in this industry.

Jennie and her husband Wes 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. Together they bring a combined background in operations, staffing, technology, and customer experience to a business they are deeply committed to — not just as owners, but as people who understand firsthand what families go through when a loved one needs care.

Jennie is passionate about:

✓ Personalized home care that empowers independence and respects dignity
✓ Educating families on aging-in-place solutions before a crisis hits
✓ Building trust through transparency, responsiveness, and reliability
✓ Real people, real availability — our team is reachable around the clock because care doesn’t follow business hours
✓ A hands-on local team that stays involved after care begins, and checks in regularly

Why Choose Acti-Kare?

As a locally owned Seattle home care agency, we stand out by offering:
 
1. 24/7 Local Support — Always a Real Person We are on call around the clock — not an answering service, not a national call center. When a family needs us outside of business hours, they reach someone local who knows their care plan and can act immediately.
 
2. Same-Day Assessments and Rapid Care Starts We know that families rarely have the luxury of waiting weeks for care to begin. In most cases we can conduct a same-day or next-day in-home assessment and have care scheduled quickly — often within 24 hours.
 
3. Hands-On Oversight and Regular Check-Ins We don’t just match a caregiver and walk away. Jennie and her team stay actively involved — conducting regular check-ins with clients, families, and caregivers to make sure care is meeting expectations and adjusting when it isn’t. You will always know someone is paying attention.
 
4. Tailored Care Plans — Built Around Your Loved One Every client receives a personalized care plan based on their specific needs, routines, and preferences. Services include companionship, personal care, mobility assistance, medication reminders, dementia support, veteran care, and more.
 
5. Expert, Thoroughly Vetted Caregivers Every caregiver on our team is licensed, background-checked, and trained to meet Washington State requirements. Rigorous hiring and ongoing training ensure the people entering your loved one’s home are people you can genuinely trust. Our team motto is to only hire caregivers we would trust with our own parents!
 
6. Family-Centered Communication We keep families informed and involved at every stage — because good care isn’t just about the client in front of us, it’s about the whole family navigating this together. Serving King, Snohomish, and Pierce Counties with reliable, responsive in-home care.

    Our Mission: Dignity & Joy at Home

    At Acti-Kare, we believe seniors deserve to age safely, happily, and independently in their own homes. Our values:

    R

    Trust – Honest communication in every interaction.

    R

    Empathy – Treating clients like family.

    R

    Excellence – Continuously improving our care standards.
