The Inspiration Behind At Home Nursing Care

Reynolds founded her company in 2010 after experiencing first hand the need for quality in home care.  Her mother, who died at age 58, needed home care for the last 10 months of her life.  The experience inspired Reynolds to retire from a 15 year career as a news reporter for 10 News. Lauren Reynolds tells the story of what inspired her to open At Home Nursing Care in this video.

“Home care is my calling now, and I’m so grateful for the clients and their families who put their trust in me.  I’ve never regretted making this change, and I truly appreciate the recognition,” she said.
