Seniors Helping Seniors® Expands Its In-Home Care Services in Everett, Washington

On January 23, 2026, a significant milestone was achieved in Everett, Washington, with the opening of a new facility by Seniors Helping Seniors®, a well-recognized name in the in-home care industry. This franchise has rapidly grown, boasting over 200 partners and operating in 400 territories across the United States. The newest location, spearheaded by local resident Peter Garcia, seeks to enhance the quality of life for seniors in Snohomish and Island Counties.

With a rich background in leadership from his 31 years at HSBC Bank, where he managed crucial operational roles, Peter Garcia transitioned into this new venture out of a profound desire to impact his community positively. Reflecting on his upbringing, which emphasized respect for elders and community, he identified an urgent need for more personalized support for seniors in the Everett area. His vision extends beyond mere caretaking; he emphasizes building genuine relationships that foster independence and dignity among seniors.

Peter Garcia’s Native Hawaiian heritage plays a vital role in his approach to this business. He believes that caring for one another is integral to community values and takes pride in offering a service that resonates with those principles. He profoundly values the connections developed through care and companionship. “As a Native Hawaiian, I was raised in a culture that honors elders,” Peter expressed, “Seniors Helping Seniors® reflects those values. This franchise allows me to give back by creating opportunities for seniors to help seniors, while strengthening dignity, independence and community connection.”

The demand for in-home care services is increasing. According to data from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, nearly 70% of retirees will require some form of long-term care. This underscores the crucial nature of services provided by Seniors Helping Seniors®. The recently launched Everett location will specifically focus on fulfilling the unique needs of its surrounding communities such as Snohomish, Marysville, Lake Stevens, Monroe, Mukilteo, Tulalip, Granite Falls, and Whidbey Island.

What sets Seniors Helping Seniors® apart is its commitment to employing senior caregivers. This not only offers job opportunities to older adults but also enriches the care experience for clients. The bond formed between caregiver and recipient often leads to more meaningful interactions, which transcends the traditional roles found in many home care scenarios.

Namrata Yocom-Jan, the President of Seniors Helping Seniors®, emphasized that their success in the industry is due to focusing on the quality of care. “We’ve become a leader in this industry by prioritizing the best possible care for our seniors by partnering with passionate franchisees.” Her comments highlight the direct link between the values upheld by the franchise and the quality of services provided. Under Peter Garcia’s leadership, the new Everett location is poised to offer unparalleled home services tailored to the needs of seniors.

The Seniors Helping Seniors® franchise was founded by Kiran and Philip Yocom, a husband-and-wife team motivated by a shared commitment to providing loving care and fostering intergenerational connections. Their unique approach prioritizes hiring active seniors to assist those who are less capable, ensuring that care is administered with empathy and understanding. Having started in 1998, the franchise opened up for franchising in 2006. It now spans 37 states, reflecting a network of compassionate caregivers dedicated to serving the elder population.

By launching their latest location in Everett, Seniors Helping Seniors® is ready to make a lasting impact in Washington. The services they offer include a wide range of options aimed at meeting various care needs, emphasizing the importance of community and connection in caregiving.
