Hi there! It’s been a while since I’ve properly introduced myself ✨👋🏼
I’m Jessica Agro, Owner and Founder of Compassion First Home Care, and the person behind the work we do every day.
Compassion First Home Care was born just over three years ago, inspired by my time working in recreation therapy with seniors from diverse medical backgrounds. With a background in Psychology and Therapeutic Recreation, I’ve always been passionate about helping seniors live meaningful, connected lives—through leisure, social interaction, and a sense of purpose.
My commitment to caregiving comes from both personal and lived experience. At 16, I battled cancer, spending long periods in hospitals, which gave me a deep understanding of what it feels like to face isolation, loneliness, and the challenges of daily life when support is limited. Today, as the main caregiver for my father, I’ve also experienced firsthand how challenging navigating the healthcare system can be and the strain caregiving places on families. These experiences have shaped my empathy and passion, and I carry that into my work with seniors—ensuring that no matter their circumstances, they can live comfortably, vibrantly, and with meaningful connection. Supporting seniors and their families in this way is deeply fulfilling and forms the heart of everything we do at Compassion First Home Care.
In my years working in retirement homes, I noticed a common gap: while physical care is often great, emotional and social well-being is sometimes overlooked. Many seniors and their families consider assisted living not because of medical needs, but because of loneliness and lack of meaningful connection. That’s where Compassion First Home Care steps in. Our goal is to provide companionship, support, and non-medical care that enhances quality of life—their home, whereever that might be.
When I’m not working, you’ll find me behind the scenes managing the business, spending time with my dog Luna, exploring new restaurants, or enjoying downtime with my family especially my nephew Vetri👶🏽🩷 (sorry everyone else🤣)
Thank you for being here and following along as Compassion First Home Care continues to grow💛
Jessica
