Jackie Verdoorn
Founder
|
Founded in 2001, Hill Country Care
Providers is locally owned and operated by Jackie Verdoorn, RN, BSN, MSN.
Jackie is a certified Professional Geriatric
Care Manager with the National Association of Professional Geriatric Care
Managers.
Jackie's commitment to providing in-home care is based on her own personal
experiences caring for her parents and from many years assessing needs, finding
appropriate resources, and providing hands-on medical and non-medical care.
Jackie realized early in her quest for reliable caregivers that her
standards for experience and quality of care went beyond what was currently
available among private caregivers and personal assistance agencies. She
developed her own agency of experienced caregivers, many of whom have been with
Hill Country Care Providers since its inception.
