The Care360 Method

Care360 was designed with the whole person in mind. We help you cultivate the things that are valuable to you.

COMMUNITY & FAMILY INVOLVEMENT

Staying in touch with friends, family and the community is so important in maintaining a happy home life! Our caregivers can assist in transporting clients to community events, letter writing, and even managing social media to stay in touch with loved ones.

ACTIVE BODY & MIND

Staying active and mentally stimulated can help ensure you or your loved one stay home. as long as possible. Our caregivers provide assistance with physical therapy exercises, nutritious meals and mentally engaging activities such as board games and puzzles.

 

RELIGIOUS & SPIRITUAL ENGAGEMENT

As a faith-based company, we know the impact religious and spiritual activities can have on our mental wellness. We strive to keep you or your loved one engaged in their own religion however we can. Our caregivers can transport clients to and from church or assist them in finding online or in person services.

SAFETY FIRST- EVALUATING & MAINTAINING A SAFE HOME ENVIRONMENT

A safe, clean home is a happy home. We aim to help you or your loved one flourish at home. Our staff will provide regular home-safety checks and minor home maintenance (e.g., testing smoke detectors) to ensure our clients are safe. We partner with local companies who can assist in larger home safety projects too.

Our Founder

Kathleen Horsley was raised in Columbus, Nebraska and grew up with her grandmother living with her. During this time, she saw firsthand the important role that caregivers played in providing in-home assistance to her grandmother and others in need. To her, caregivers were heroes.

 

This experience inspired Kathleen to pursue a career in the healthcare field, where she could dedicate her life to helping others. Kathi became a registered nurse (RN) from the University of Nebraska Medical Center in 1993 and then obtained her Master’s in Healthcare Administration from Bellevue University in 2005. She has always been motivated by a desire to serve others and to lead a life that gives glory to Jesus Christ.

Charlene grew up in Sargent, Nebraska and attended Nebraska Wesleyan University. After college, she bought a little house in Comstock, which she is currently renovating again. She is very fortunate to have four awesome humans call her Mom. One of her sons fell in love with the only foreigner at the bar one night and now lives across the big pond. In exchange for following love over there (Europe), he gave Charlene a daughter-in-law and made her a grandma last year. She doesn’t understand free time at this point, but thinks someday it will include golf, reading, and going places she wants to go instead of places she has to go. Right now, she spends time at one of her son’s college football games, track meets, volleyball and basketball games, and following her six humans to various places.
