Seniors Helping Seniors® In-Home Care Services Opens in Everett, Washington

With more than 31 years of leadership experience at HSBC Bank, USA, N.A., Peter held multiple middle-management operations roles supporting U.S.-based credit card operations, U.S. banking teams and even some international teams, living and operating outside of the US. After a successful career in financial services, Peter felt called to pursue work rooted in community, service, and human connection.

Peter was inspired to bring Seniors Helping Seniors® to Everett after reflecting on the values instilled in him growing up — respect for elders, the importance of family and a deep sense of community. He said he saw a need in the area for more day-to-day support for older adults, especially the kind that goes beyond tasks and builds real connection. Drawing on values from his Native Hawaiian upbringing, Peter said he aims to lead with respect, empathy and a strong sense of responsibility to the community.

“As a Native Hawaiian, I was raised in a culture that honors elders, values family and believes strongly in caring for one another,” Peter said. “Seniors Helping Seniors® reflects those same values. This franchise allows me to give back by creating opportunities for seniors to help seniors, while strengthening dignity, independence and community connection.”

The demand for in-home care for mature populations continues to grow, with the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services reporting that nearly 70% of retirees will require some form of long-term care.

“We prioritize the best possible care for our seniors, and that means partnering with only the most passionate and hard-working franchisees,” said Seniors Helping Seniors® President Namrata Yocom-Jan. “That’s exactly what we’ve found with Peter as a new franchisee partner who is well-equipped to provide unparalleled in-home services to those in need throughout Washington.”
