Kinkaku-ji Temple, Kyoto, Japan

Our co-founder Jamie Pascasio-Tran has been working in the elderly care industry for more than 10 years. Her experience as a staffer is unsurpassed in an industry where there is little hands-on care for the position. In spite of all her knowledge and experience, she believed that the elderly care industry was lacking the heart and compassion that she had been secretly trying to bring to fruition. 

It was a fateful trip to Japan in the Spring of 2015 that sparked her desire to pursue her own ambitions and take the final leap into owning her own home care business. Jamie had a strong desire to bring the same simplicity and beauty that she found in the culture of Japan to her own company, CareZen. She worked tirelessly for months to achieve this goal. 

CareZen was founded on the belief that all elderly clients need more calmness and peace to go along with their active daily lives. Jamie trains all her caregivers to convey integrity, honesty and compassion when dealing with each client. With these beliefs in her pocket, she is a step ahead of all the rest. Jamie's journey in Japan has strengthened her pursuit of creating something special and to set a new benchmark for the home care industry.
