"I don’t just consult on home care; I live it every day. As the owner of Nowell Care at Home Agency and Nowell’s In-Home Helpers, I have navigated the exact path you are on.

But my deepest expertise comes from my roles at home—as a caregiver for my adult son and a foster parent who recently adopted two brothers. I understand the challenges of the industry because I’ve been on both sides of the door. At Nowell Consulting Services, I combine professional NC regulatory expertise with a caregiver’s heart to help you launch an agency that truly makes a difference."
