About Pine & River Home Care

Meet Charles — Founder, CNA, & Local Neighbor

Care isn’t just a career for me; it’s my commitment to the community I call home. Living along the Clark Fork Valley, I saw firsthand how challenging it is for families in Sanders County to find dependable in-home care. Many individuals want to stay in the comfort of their own homes, but rural home care resources can be limited. I founded Pine & River Home Care to close that gap.

As a licensed CNA, I bring hands-on experience and personal care oversight to every home. As sole owner, I personally design and supervise every care plan, check in regularly with families, and ensure our vetted, BLS-certified care team meets the highest standards of safety, respect, and dignity. When you call us, you’re connecting directly with a neighbor dedicated to keeping our community comfortable at home.

“Every care plan is personally created and supervised by a licensed CNA, giving your family true peace of mind.”
