Our Mission
Joan’s Care exists to help adults and seniors live safely, independently, and joyfully in the comfort of their own homes. Inspired by the love and legacy of Grandma Joan, we provide compassionate, personalized support that feels like family.
Our Values
Joan wasn’t just a mother or grandmother — she was a force of life, laughter, and resilience whose spirit shaped everything we believe in today.
During the last five years of her life, Grandma lived with our family while we were teenagers, becoming the best roommate three kids could ever ask for. She delighted in watching us grow up and filled our home with humor, wisdom, encouragement and a steady presence that made every day richer.
Joan lived boldly and joyfully. She loved sports and adventure (swimming, archery, water skiing, and boating), and she dreamed of becoming a pilot because she loved to travel and see the world. During World War II, while many men were overseas, she supervised a manufacturing line producing scopes for heavy artillery, contributing to the war effort with strength and precision. (So cool!)
Well into her nineties, Joan continued lifting weights and was featured as the oldest member of her local gym. She drove her PT Cruiser, proudly calling it her “sports car,” and was known and loved by everyone around town. She could school you in a game of Rummy, yet she would give you the clothes off her back and her last penny without hesitation.
She had an extraordinary sense of humor and a vibrant curiosity about life. In her later years, she learned the mandolin and read nearly a book a day. She was impeccably stylish, rarely seen without one of her signature fashionable hats. As an avid dancer, whenever big band music played, she would grab our hands and pull us onto the dance floor (even in her nineties).
More than her vitality, it was her character that defined her. Joan embodied generosity, kindness, and faithfulness. She taught us that when someone places their trust in you, it is precious and must be stewarded well. She believed in telling stories, that remembering the past is a way of loving the people who live there. She showed us how to be generous with our time, talents, encouragement, and compassion.
As Joan aged, we witnessed how transformational it was for her to maintain independence while receiving the support she needed. We also saw the devotion of her caregivers (our mom and aunt) and how invaluable additional support could have been for them.
This business exists because of Joan.
Her legacy inspires our commitment to preserving dignity, fostering independence, and showing up with compassion and faithfulness every single day. We dedicate our work to honoring her life and to serving others with the same care, joy, and generosity she gave so freely.
Our Legacy
Our Founder
Jamie was born and raised among the Collegiate Peaks and wide-open spaces that continue to shape her love for the outdoors and her deep sense of community. She shares life with her husband and their dog, and she thrives in Colorado’s natural beauty — whether hiking mountain trails, fly fishing quiet rivers, four-wheeling backcountry roads, or playing volleyball and pickleball with friends. She loves drinking coffee, traveling the world, and getting lost in the pages of a book.
Her academic background reflects both a heart for people and a talent for thoughtful problem-solving. She earned a B.A. in Communication from Colorado Christian University, with minors in Biblical Studies and Psychology and an emphasis in theology. She later received a Master of Business Administration from Auburn University, specializing in Business Analytics. This blend of relational insight, ethical grounding, and analytical training equips her to create systems of care that are both compassionate and effective.
Jamie’s passion for serving older adults began at home. Living with and helping care for Grandma Joan in her later years revealed the dignity, independence, and connection every person deserves as they age. She witnessed firsthand how meaningful support can transform daily life, not only for the individual receiving care, but also for the family members who love them.
That experience sparked a calling: to serve adults who need a little extra support at home with compassion, reliability, and friendship. She believes care should preserve independence, honor each person’s story, and provide families with peace of mind.
For her, this work is more than a profession. It is a purpose grounded in service, trust, and the belief that everyone deserves to be seen, valued, and supported.
