Like so many home care workers, Lolita Owens entered the healthcare profession after helping a friend care for their grandmother and then stayed. She loves caring for people and feels it’s of the utmost importance that people can stay in their homes and receive high quality care. Lolita serves as a member of United Homecare Workers of PA (UHWP) and has been deeply committed to advocating for seniors and people with disabilities like Katrina Francis, for more than 20 years. Katrina is loving, caring, and has a funny sense of humor. She loves going out and just being around people and depends on her caregivers for activities of daily living and to remain at home. Katrina was born and raised in Philadelphia and worked in a daycare center and then a cleaning agency for many years. At this time, she’s unable to take care of herself and does not have additional support from her children or other family members. Katrina lives with major depression, and white matter disease (a mild form of dementia) and high quality, consistent home care services allow her to live independently at home. To all the caregivers out there: We see you. We appreciate you. We know how big of a commitment you’re making & want you to know – you aren’t alone.
