Exploring Our Roots
Grace At Home Care was founded by Lin and Jerry Collins, who share a passion for providing quality in-home care that prioritizes relationships between clients and their care providers. Their shared passion was born out of a personal experience that had a transformational impact on their personal and professional journeys.
In 2020, dear friends of theirs were facing a difficult choice.
Tom and Maureen were in their 80’s and still very much in love. However, Maureen’s physical and mental deterioration meant she needed a higher level of care than their assisted living community could provide. Maureen was adamant that she did not want to live in a nursing home because she could not bear the thought of being separated from Tom. However, without the support of family, their options were bleak. They faced the choice of either going into a nursing home together, which Tom did not yet need, or being separated.
Lin and Jerry stepped in, inviting Tom and Maureen to live with them in their lovely home in Evergreen. Unexpectedly, Tom passed away six months later, but Maureen continued to live with Lin and Jerry until her passing a year and a half later. Providing Tom and Maureen this level of joy, love, and excellent care was life-changing for Lin and Jerry, and it led to the birth of Grace at Home Care.
With Lin and Jerry at the helm, Grace at Home Care is a different kind of home care service, specializing in physical and emotional care that is truly compassionate while also reflecting top industry standards. Lin and Jerry bring their personal as well as their professional expertise to the equation as both have worked as high level executives and directors in a variety of industries. Together, Lin and Jerry provide dynamic leadership that has a strong impact on their clients, clients’ families, and employees.
