This growth stands as a testament to Annika’s unwavering dedication to making a positive difference in the lives of families, employees, and clients.

From an early age, caring for the elderly was an intrinsic part of Annika’s life, shaped by countless hours spent assisting those in need. These memories left a lasting impression, fueling her passion to bring joy and comfort to others.

As she pursued her career in nursing, Annika recognized the need for a change from the institutionalized approach to care. Witnessing the desire of many to age gracefully in the comfort of their homes, she was motivated to establish Tender Loving Family Care. With a focus on delivering personalized care and understanding the unique needs of each individual, Annika’s vision became a reality.

Her commitment to honoring the wish of aging in place is at the heart of Tender Loving Family Care. The objective is not just to provide exceptional care but to create a true home-like environment for all clients.
