About Acti-Kare of Pierce County
Acti-Kare Responsive In-Home Care of Pierce County is a locally owned home care agency serving Tacoma and the surrounding communities of Pierce County. Part of the broader Acti-Kare network with more than 10 years of service in Washington State, our team brings the same responsive, relationship-first approach that has made us one of the most recognized home care agencies in the Puget Sound region.
Co-owners Jennie and Wes Ruemping came to home care after Jennie's experience caring for her mother through a cancer diagnosis. That personal grounding shapes how we hire, train, and support the caregivers who work with your family.
