Jetawn Smith knew she was born to take care of elderly individuals, and she took that passion a step forward recently by becoming the sole owner of Care Planning Solutions.
Smith and former partner Amanda Rudder started Care Planning Solutions in October 2018 to offer various 24-hour in-home services like bathing, meal preparation, laundry, house cleaning, shopping, and companionship to the elderly and people with disabilities.
Rudder decided to step away from the business, making Smith the sole owner of Care Planning Solutions in September.
As sole owner, Smith said, she will have more freedom to serve clients in the capacity she wants.
Smith can trace her passion back to when she was 12 years old, looking after her aunt who had diabetes and had recently lost her husband.
"I just kind of always had a passion for older people and making sure they have the help they need and have someone to be an advocate for them," she said.
