Our story

Founded from Experience. Built Around Families.

Morning Star Home Care was founded in 2017 by Dee, who brings more than 18 years of nursing and healthcare experience, including geriatric care. Through her work with older adults and families, she saw how challenging it could be to find dependable, compassionate and personalized support at home.

Dee created Morning Star to provide the kind of non-medical home care she would want for her own family—responsive, respectful and thoughtfully centered around each client’s needs, routines, preferences and dignity

Our mission

Helping Older Adults Live Safely and Confidently at Home

Our mission is to help older adults remain safe, comfortable and independent in the place they know and love—home. We provide dependable, compassionate non-medical care that respects each person’s dignity, preferences and way of life while giving families greater confidence and peace of mind.

"Every family deserves to feel known, heard and genuinely supported. That is why Morning Star Home Care exists."

— Dee, Founder

Her story

Dee is the founder and owner of Morning Star Home Care, an agency built on compassion, trust, and a commitment to helping seniors live safely and comfortably at home. Before launching it, she spent more than a decade as a nurse, caring for older adults and guiding families through every stage of the healthcare journey.

Her years in nursing gave her a deep understanding of the needs of older adults and their families, as well as the emotional, practical, and personal challenges families face when a loved one requires support. She saw firsthand how meaningful it is for older adults to remain in familiar surroundings while receiving respectful, dependable, and individualized care.

Inspired by these experiences, Dee founded Morning Star Home Care in 2017 with a vision: to provide compassionate and personalized home care that promotes safety, independence, dignity, and quality of life.

Today, Dee leads the agency with the same values that shaped her nursing career—compassion, dignity, integrity, and excellence. She works closely with her team to ensure every client receives person-centered care tailored to their unique needs, routines, and preferences. She keeps families informed, supported, and confident in the care their loved one receives.

For Dee, Morning Star Home Care is more than a business. It is a continuation of her life’s work: serving others with kindness, honoring each person’s individuality, and helping families find comfort, peace of mind, and trusted support when they need it most.

“Morning Star Home Care was founded on the belief that exceptional care begins with trust, compassion and meaningful relationships. Every client deserves to feel valued and respected, every family deserves confidence and peace of mind, and every caregiver deserves the guidance and support needed to provide their best care.”

— Dee · Founder
