Who We Are
Compassionate Care. Purposeful Support. Real People Who Truly Care.
At Caring About You, we believe that caregiving is more than a service—it’s a relationship built on trust, dignity, and heart. We’re a team of compassionate professionals committed to helping families navigate the challenges of caregiving with confidence, support, and personalized care plans that actually work.
Our goal is simple: to ease the burden on caregivers and ensure every loved one receives the respect, care, and attention they deserve—right at home.
Our Story
Caring About You was born out of love and necessity. Our founder, Karen Lucas Walker, knows firsthand what it means to juggle a demanding career while caring for an aging parent from afar. During her time as a nonprofit executive, she also served as a long-distance caregiver to her mother in Columbia, SC—especially during the challenges of the COVID-19 pandemic.
After more than 20 years in corporate and nonprofit HR and finance leadership, Karen stepped into her next chapter with purpose. She created Caring About You to be the kind of agency she wished existed during her caregiving journey—one that provides dependable, compassionate care, prioritizes self-care for family caregivers, and delivers a holistic approach to wellness.
