About Acti-Kare of King County
Acti-Kare Responsive In-Home Care of King County is a locally owned home care agency serving families across the greater Seattle area. Jennie and Wes Ruemping, local Acti-Kare owners, came to home care after Jennie's experience supporting her mother through a cancer diagnosis — work that shaped how they think about responsiveness, dignity, and what families actually need in a moment of crisis.
We build on more than 10 years of continuous service in King County, with a team of 135+ credentialed, screened, and trained caregivers. That distinction means full accountability, consistent training, and a standard of care that our families can count on.

Veronica and her team have been absolutely incredible as they care for my Grandmother who has Alzheimer's. Her care can be challenging so my family has so relieved to find Acti-Kare of Seattle an agency we can trust. They are extremely responsive and always provide the best care.
I am a past client
Veronica and her team of caregivers were wonderful to my father and sister during the time we used Acti-Kare. They were so caring and conscientious. We had 3 different caregivers for 24/7 care and they all were respectful, loving and knew how to take care of others. Unfortunately, we lost both our loved ones due to complications of cancer and the caregivers were there to help with end-of-life. I can't thank these wonderful people enough for the sincere and heartfelt attention in which they treated my family. I recommend this business to anyone that needs this type of service.

Our mother lives independently, and have managed well on her own until a few months ago. She had some increased health issues, and we didn't feel comfortable having her stay at home without help. Mother wants to stay in her home! We contacted Acti-Kare of Seattle, and the agency was able to provide care around the clock, and after a month we are having care during the day only. All works great. Veronica assisted us to set a necklace alert for mother to use in case of an emergency whenever she is alone. We are very please with the staff that have been providing the care, and help around the house. Mother seems thrilled with "her girls" as she calls the caregivers. As a family we feel we make the right choice, knowing that our mother is in very good hands.

We needed short time assistance for my father or he could not come home from hospital. My mother felt very happy and comfortable with the care that Acti-Kare of Seattle provided. I would recommend this service anytime. Prompt, caring, and professional.
David, I am a current client
My wife has MS and I used to be her caregiver, until I developed health issues of my own. We both have limited mobility, and staying at home didn't seem like an option. We contacted several agencies, and we hired Acti-Kare of Seattle. Veronica and her staff have been providing the wonderful care to both of us. I am more active, doing my exercises with the caregivers. My wife gets help with her showers, and exercises as well. We also are getting healthier home made meals. We will recommend this agency to anyone who wants to stay home.

My wife was diagnosed with Alzheimer's and fibromyalgia. As the conditions progressed, although somewhat reluctant, I knew we needed additional support. Veronica and her team at Acti-Kare of Seattle made the process so easy. They provide unparalleled care; always going above and beyond to provide a safe environment for my wife to thrive. They truly care about the well-being and happiness of their clients. I couldn't recommend their services any higher.
Elodie, I interviewed this provider
I referred Acti-Kare of Seattle to some friends of mine who needed help after surgery. They personally came right out to the home and within 24hrs had it set up. They said it was a great experience and would recommend thier caregiver and Acti-Kare to others.
