Kate started with OurCare in 2015, working closely with Andrew, with the hopes of making a better home care experience for client’s and their families. Home care is more than just someone coming into a client’s home to help with daily tasks. It’s about building a personal relationship with the client’s while maintaining their dignity and independence.
Prior to joining the OurCare team, Kate worked in nursing field for over 12yrs. Her experience includes sub-acute care, nursing homes, working with adults and children with physical and intellectual deficits, and finally home care. Kate has spent the last 8 years in home care, whether working as a shift nurse giving hands on care, or in the director capacity, educating and guiding aides and nurses on delivering the best care possible. Home care has been the most rewarding experience a nurse could ask for, as client’s have a better quality of life in their own homes than in a facility.
Kate continues to strive toward providing compassionate care with OurCare, with the support of her husband and daughter.

Andrew founded OurCare on the principles that the traditional home health care model was antiquated and inefficient, thus leading to poor patient satisfaction and caregiver retention alike. In observation of these inadequacies, Andrew set out to build a team of likeminded, and experienced professionals that could assist him in the development in what today is known as OurCare In-Home Health Services. By utilizing the resources and technology of today and harnessing its devotion to the communities in which it serves, OurCare has been able to successfully blend an innovative approach to the traditional home health care industry. By doing so, OurCare has revitalized the patient experience, is rated among the top employers in the home health industry, and is building its reputation within the communities in which they serve.
