The Homecare Millionaire Podcast

Peg Pickett’s path into home care began with her mother, Rosemary, and a care experience her family didn’t want to repeat. She and her husband, Ron, built the agency around a standard that felt personal from the start: if this were your mom, what would you do?

In this episode, Paul and Joan talk with Peg about the family story that started it all. She also shares what 20 years in home care taught her about protecting the reputation families depend on.
