Promoting Health, Safety, and Independence

Supporting independence is a team effort — families, caregivers, and community organizations all play a role. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s Healthy Aging program, maintaining mobility, nutrition, and social engagement are key factors in quality of life for older adults.

At Acti-Kare, our home care services in Bellevue, Kent, and Lynnwood are designed with those principles in mind. Whether we’re preparing a healthy meal, assisting with exercise routines, or sharing conversation, our focus is always on helping clients live well at home.

Jennie Ruemping

Owner

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.

At Acti-Kare, we are committed to delivering exceptional, personalized home care that empowers families, fosters dignity, and supports seniors in aging in place on their own terms. 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.
