Lifelong Friends Partner in a Career of Senior Care

regory Walker and George Wyatt have been friends since high school. Now, along with their wives Sandra Walker and Rita Wyatt, they have leveraged that relationship to form a partnership of a different kind: owners of Sitters Etc. of London Kentucky aligned with the rapidly expanding home care franchise, both couples provide uniquely compassionate senior care services including meal preparation, housework, transportation, medication reminders and more to clients throughout 36 Eastern and Southeastern Kentucky counties.

Working for Leslie County as its coroner since 1990, Gregory Walker is intimately familiar with the importance of providing compassionate care to clients. George Wyatt, working for the last 13 years in nursing home care, is himself aware of the struggles that often face those deciding between home care and care at a facility. This combined insight, spurred by a desire to provide much-needed care held to a higher standard, drove the two longtime friends to collaborate and bring Sitters Etc. to Kentucky as the first standing one. “Both George and I recognized a deficiency in the kind of care provided for seniors in our area,” said Gregory Walker. “When the opportunity to better the situation for both seniors and their families presented itself through Sitters Etc., the choice was an easy one to make.”
With Sitters Etc. the Walker and Wyatt couples will be introducing a home care provider founded on principals of compassionate care for both seniors and their family members. This, said George Wyatt, is often something care providers fail to consider.
