History
Established in 2011.
John and Angela Martin, 39-year residents of Walkersville, founded Shepherd's Staff In-home Care in 2011, after the death of Angela's parents, which inspired her to open a business to provide the kind of care she had wanted them to receive.
Meet the Business Owner: Angela M.
Angela spent more than 25 years as a full-time mother of six and part-time free-lance writer, writing on a variety of health topics for medical trade associations and nonprofit organizations. As the family grew, Angela found herself a member of the "sandwich generation" -- providing an increasing amount of care for her aging parents, especially her mother, who had become disabled due to a stroke. The difficulty of finding quality in-home care inspired her, after the death of both parents in 2008, to open Shepherd's Staff Care to help other families feel confident that their loved ones are receiving loving, respectful care.
