Our Story
A Mission Born from Experience
Renee Spence, founder of Theresa’s Place #1 Homecare, was inspired by her own experience caring for her mother with Alzheimer’s and dementia. Faced with the challenges of finding consistent and compassionate support, she founded this agency to fill that very gap — offering non-medical homecare that truly prioritizes people over profit.
Through that personal lens, Theresa’s Place #1 Homecare was built on empathy, professionalism, and a relentless commitment to helping others age in place gracefully.
