Meet the Founder: Sara Guillemette

Sara Guillemette established Washington Home Care LLC in December 2019 with a vision that challenges the traditional, competitive business model. For Sara, providing non-medical in-home care services isn’t about competing for market share; it’s about lifting the community. Guided by the deeply held belief that “all boats rise if the sea rises,” she has built Washington Home Care into a collaborative hub that strengthens the senior care ecosystem across the region.

Sara’s approach is rooted in a sweeping, regional effort to care coordinate. She recognizes that supporting individuals effectively requires a village, often involving a network of distinct business-to-business (B2B) partners; from healthcare providers and therapists to specialized agencies.

Instead of working in a silo, Sara actively collaborates with these external partners who are servicing the same or similar area residents in different capacities.

In January 2024, she formalized this collaborative spirit by establishing a small business owner’s circle.

Representing community commitment, this dedicated network meets on a weekly basis to align their efforts.

Today, the circle features employment model home care agency owners, private nurse care managers, professional life care navigators, the founder of an adult daycare programs in Litchfield County, holistic health coaches, and a peer group of elder care founders now known as life-care professionals (previously titled geriatric care managers).

By fostering consistent, open communication and seamless regional coordination among these specialists every single week, she ensures that area residents searching for trusted companion care and specialized support remain the central focus, surrounded by a unified, wrap-around support system.

Crucially, Sara knows that operating within this uniquely rural area requires standout qualities; chief among them, a willingness to address the foundational challenges that others overlook, most notably the workforce housing dilemma.

Reliable, high-quality home care solutions are impossible without a supported workforce.

To bridge this gap, Sara spends long, quiet, and tenacious hours searching for workforce housing within a tight 10-mile radius of Washington. Her determined advocacy is aimed at moving professional caregivers directly into the region, ensuring they have stable, accessible places to live near the clients they serve.

This tireless dedication to housing security extends directly into Washington Home Care’s broader community engagement initiatives.

By championing the consumer-directed registry model and advocating for the infrastructure care providers need to thrive, Sara is focused on building a stronger, more resilient community; creating a vital, enduring network that will prevail and support local families long into the future, regardless of where her own path may lead.

While Washington Home Care operates as a small business, these initiatives stand as meaningful proof of the dedication to supporting the local community in vital, unquantifiable ways.

Integrity, trust, professionalism, excellent services, and a highly engaged personal touch are the hallmarks of Washington Household and Estate Management LLC and Sara’s successful related venture, Washington Home Care LLC, a caregiver registry in Connecticut.
