About Care Messer
My journey to elder care began long before I realized it would become my calling. As a child, I spent countless hours volunteering at nursing homes through my church, helping with meals, cleaning, and simply sitting with seniors who needed companionship. I would ask hundreds of questions and listen to their stories for hours. Those formative experiences instilled in me a deep understanding of our universal need for connection, especially in our later years.
This passion for compassionate care continued as I worked with adults with disabilities in group homes during college. The experience of supporting individuals who needed assistance while honoring their dignity and independence shaped my approach to caregiving.

My connection to caregiving deepened through my personal journey into parenthood.
I adopted my oldest child, then 8 years old, through the foster care system, experiencing firsthand that there are no coincidences and that you’ll never miss anything that is meant for you. She was supposed to be my oldest daughter. Four years later, I gave birth to a child who is mentally and physically disabled. Her birth was a powerful, life-changing experience that shifted the course of my professional life.
Her birth led me to birth work, where I served as a birth and postpartum doula and childbirth educator. In this role, I helped parents connect meaningfully with their babies and navigate their birth experiences with confidence and support. Through this work, I came to understand a profound truth: birth and death are simply transitions—one bringing souls to this world, and the other guiding them onward. Both deserve to be honored with dignity, respect, and love.
The loss of my own father years ago, reinforced my commitment to supporting families facing similar situations.
I was states away and unable to help with his transition and I felt helpless. Knowing that other adult children would also be out of state when their parents were needing extended support, had me wanting to contribute to my own community. More recently, I had the privilege of helping a woman I considered my adopted mother transition through hospice care, ensuring she could have the peaceful, dignified end-of-life experience she desired in her own home.
My partner and I bring a combined 15 years of experience in the senior care industry to our work.
We both hold licenses with the state as Administrators for Residential Care Facilities for the Elderly, providing us with the expertise to guide families through this complex process. Our extensive knowledge of facilities, regulations, and best practices ensures that we can find the perfect match for your loved one's needs.
But beyond our professional qualifications, this work is a heartfelt calling for us. We understand the emotional weight of finding the right care for a parent or loved one. We recognize the importance of safe, dignified living arrangements for our senior population through their final, beautiful transition home. Our commitment is not just to finding a facility, but to honoring the full lives your loved ones have lived and ensuring their next chapter is filled with comfort, respect, and joy.
