Welcome to Shawnda's Elderly Care home health care

       Hello, my name is Shawnda Washington, and I'm the owner of Shawnda's Elderly Care. I started this Company in 2008 with my two sisters alongside supportive friends and other equally supportive family members. It has been a labor of love for the past 11 years.   

        I got into this business because I understood first hand the frustrations of caring for a loved one struggling with health problems. In 1996 my mother was diagnosed with cervical cancer. There were crucial decisions that had to be made all while watching her lay in a hospital bed day-by-day fighting for her life. I had to deal with the constant anxiety of knowing that each decision I made would have to be the right one. I have dealt with the daily responsibilities of making decision after decision, wondering if I was making the best choice for my mother. I dealt with the overwhelming feeling of helplessness while having to hold it together for the sake of the family. Sadly, my mother lost her battle against cervical cancer, and she passed away in December of 1999. However, it gives me a great sense of peace knowing that the decisions that were made were not only made in love, but were the right ones for her. 

     My experience in caring for my mother, and also for other family members throughout the years with failing health issues, inspired me to obtain my Medical Assistant degree. It is my wish to show the same compassion and love that I showed for my family to others in need of assistance. My personal experience throughout the years combined with an extensive education in these matters help to ease the burden for my clients and their family members. 

     Shawnda’s Elderly Care (SEC) is a family business with likeminded employees who are very passionate about the care we provide. For 11 years, friends and families have entrusted my family business alongside a dedicated team of caregivers to provide the kind of care your loved one deserves.
