About Us

The people are what we’re all about. The people who we care for every day and our team who delivers that care are who matter most to us.

Celebrating 20 Years of Caring for People with Respect, Dignity and Humanity

We understand that every person has unique needs. Our compassionate caregivers provide a range of services, regardless of age or ability of the person receiving care. Each caregiver is carefully screened and trained to offer the support you or your loved one deserve. We prioritize comfort by matching caregivers to each specific situation, ensuring each client and patient receives the best care possible.

Our Story

Caring for People Services was founded in 2005 by John and Virginia Walker, driven by the enduring love for their son, Thomas, who left this world at the age of 26 after his journey with cancer. Inspired by his unwavering compassion and zest for life, the Walkers embarked on a mission to support individuals and families with professional and ethical care for people in the comfort and sanctity of their own homes.

In 2023, Katie Panton transitioned into the role of President and CEO after her father’s retirement. Since then, the company has continued to flourish to serve more families in their care needs. Her skillful leadership has deepened the organization’s reach across Nebraska and Western Iowa. Under her guidance, Caring for People Services carries on Thomas’s legacy with unwavering determination. Together, Katie and her team of experts transform the lives of countless people and foster dignity in every community they touch.
