I’m Lisa Huppee. I’m the owner of six Just Like Family Home Care franchise locations throughout the Lower Mainland and Vancouver Island. The journey to get here has been challenging, but I believe resilience is the key to accomplishing great things. 

 Just Like Family Home Care has provided me with opportunities to connect people of all ages and backgrounds to the in-home care they need, I have always been compassionate, and finding work that connects me to this side of myself has completely changed my life.

 My recent accomplishments, receiving local community awards for our services, have reminded me that finding a deeper connection to our work can make a world of difference. At Just Like Family Home Care, we offer in-home assessments to match clients to a staff member that fits their individual needs.

 Finding the right fit for each client is vital, as personalized care and support are what sets our business apart from other home care providers. Helping families balance their commitments and family life inspires me to keep building this business.

 My past work life as a teacher helped me to recognize the importance of personalized care when preparing student IEPs. Just as each student has unique challenges, each individual needing home care has a personalized care plan to help them and their families plan for success.

 My early life wasn't easy, and looking back, I don't think I could have ever expected to be where I am today. I grew up on the prairies in a small town in Alberta. I was shy, reserved, and self-conscious. But I was dedicated to my school work and committed to figure skating. 

This is where I learned the value of hard work and determination and that nothing comes easy in life. Self-reflection daily, weekly, and yearly helps me see if I am challenged and doing good in the world. Making myself accountable to me keeps me on track as a person and in my belief and goals.

 Fast forward to today, I am living a very different life. I am a business owner. I have time for my hobbies, painting acrylics and watercolors, meditating, and expanding my spiritual interests. I have the freedom to travel when I want to, a supportive and loving husband of nearly ten years, and the puppy pack I have always dreamed of.

 Today, I'm living the life I have always desired, in the mountains, but near civilization, with the people and pups I love. I know that life changes can feel unattainable, but I'm writing my chapter to share that it can happen once you put your mind to accomplishing things!
