Welcome to Home Helpers Home Care of Durham & Chapel Hill.
My name is Jen, and I’m the owner, serving families in Durham, Chapel Hill, Carrboro, Pittsboro, and NW Raleigh. My path to home care has been anything but a straight line.
A Wilmington native and UNC Chapel Hill graduate, I earned my master’s in Rehabilitation Psychology in Wisconsin. As a rehabilitation counselor, I was part of teams helping people with physical limitations remove the barriers to living and working independently, all with one goal: preserving independence.
I later taught secondary music outside of Charlotte, where I learned that music is one of our deepest connections to the past. A familiar song carries our memories and tells our stories long after other things have faded.
Then life brought those worlds together. I supported my mother as she cared for my father, and later guided and supported her from a distance after she was diagnosed with progressive supranuclear palsy (PSP), a rare form of Parkinsonism. I saw how a person’s world can quietly shrink with age, and I realized my worlds as teacher, counselor, and daughter could come together to offer something important: preserving independence.
Now that I’ve returned to the Triangle and am proud to call it home, I would be honored to help your family. We hope you’ll give us the opportunity to serve you.
