When Dondi and Jan introduce themselves, they do not just say they are business owners. They say they are caregivers at heart.
Both know firsthand what it means to sit at a bedside, juggle children and parents, and try to hold everything together when a loved one is sick. Before expanding CareBuilders at Home into the McKinney, Sherman, Greenville area, each lost a spouse to cancer. Those experiences shaped not only their marriage but also their mission: to make sure no family feels alone when navigating the challenges of care.
A Story Rooted in Care
Jan recalls being the “jam in the sandwich,” caring for her late husband, her children, and her mother all at once. She remembers the panic of needing help “yesterday” and not knowing where to turn. Dondi remembers being thrust into medical care he never imagined providing for his late wife, questioning whether he was doing everything right while still trying to be present for his kids.
Through it all, they both discovered something powerful. Asking for help is not a weakness. It is a strength. It allows families to breathe, to heal, and to stay connected as spouses, children, or grandchildren instead of being pulled thin as full-time caregivers.
That belief is at the heart of their new home care agency.
Why They Chose Home Care
“Caregiving is built into our DNA,” Jan explains. “We have lived it. We have been in that place where you need someone you can trust. That is why we opened our CareBuilders at Home location, to be that trusted help for other families.”
Dondi adds, “When a caregiver steps in, it allows families to focus on love and on being present, instead of being drained. That is the gift we want to give to others.”
