About NursePower

NursePower grew out of founder Sam’s experience as a hospice nurse, during which she saw families struggle to access qualified in‑home care. After building award‑winning Assured Quality Homecare (ASQ) with her husband, Caleb, they created NursePower to complement ASQ’s caregiver services with skilled nursing, complex medical support, and greater peace of mind for families.
