Homewatch CareGivers of Western Washington

"Hello. We are the owners of Homewatch Caregivers of Western Washington. We sincerely care about our clients, who most often are elders or others dealing with a chronic illness or injury. We formed our professional caregiving business with a belief that with the right kind of help, people can stay in their own homes. It is in their own homes where people find the highest degree of peace and security ... and where they have the dignity and strength to endure life’s difficulties. It is in their own homes where people find the most joy ... and awaken each day with the greatest sense of purpose."

"We are committed to providing quality caregiver employees who match the needs of our clients. Our business strives to hire the very best employees. We have a quality control program to ensure that our care stays at the highest level. Our business is licensed by the Department of Health, we are insured, our employees are covered by bond, and they have Washington State workers compensation insurance. Our combined business goal is the same as the client’s goal—to stay securely at home with peace, dignity, and sense of purpose."

"We have lived in the Seattle community since 1985. We’ve also spent time living and working in Iowa, Minnesota, Kentucky, California, Virginia, Toronto, Canada, and Manchester, England. As such, we have perspectives of many cultures, and it helps us understand and relate to people from all walks of life. We jointly own and work full time in this business. Judy manages the Bellevue office, covering Eastside and South King County communities. Dale manages the Mountlake Terrace office, covering Seattle, Snohomish and Island County communities."

"We care about people and feel affirmed in our decision to work in a vocation that serves clients and their families in a time of need. If we have the opportunity to meet with you and serve you, we would be honored."
