Our Story
In 2000 Irene N, who at that time worked as Senior Systems Analyst in one of the medical instruments/biotechnology company in San Diego, conceived an idea to create a place for seniors who needed a support, help, and safe environment. Irene always was very close with her grandparents and had a lot of respect and compassion for elderly. This journey turned into the life mission and continues today 18 years later. In 2001 Irene started an Adult Day Health Care Center. AmeriCare continues to her success story story as it makes such an important positive influence on the lives of older.
