On July 14, 2021 we had our Ribbon Cutting celebrating the 1 year anniversary of Kathleen and Isaac Schmidt acquiring ownership of the local Home Instead franchise! Beverages and a Hawaiian style lunch were provided for all our guests.
Isaac was raised in Sequim and has found his way back home. Kathleen was born and raised in Hawaii and loves the beauty of the Olympic Peninsula and the closeness in the community here.
Choosing the dba name for the franchise came from a place deep in their heart. “PNW Kupuna Care, LLC reflects a mix of both of our backgrounds and a foundation for our vision. Kupuna is Hawaiian which, when said with much respect, means “grandparent” or “ancestor”. Kupu means to grow and bring forth. Puna refers to a spring of water symbolizing our existence. In short, without our Kupuna we are without our own sense of individuality and rich history that helps us form who we are today. We both have also been able to witness our grandparents age in our family homes and know the compassion and care it takes to keep our own grandparents comfortable in those precious years. We strive to continue in our mission to provide the most optimal care for our community and help enhance the lives of those we serve.”
Thank you to the Sequim Chamber and the Sequim community for helping us celebrate!
