Inspiring Conversations with Dr. Juanita Jones-Harris of A Touch of Love Home Care

Today we’d like to introduce you to Dr. Juanita Jones-Harris.

Hi Dr. Juanita, so excited to have you with us today. What can you tell us about your story?
My journey in healthcare began in high school, where I started working as a Certified Nursing Assistant. At an early age, I was exposed to the realities of hands-on patient care—supporting individuals with daily needs, advocating for dignity, and learning how much consistent, compassionate care truly matters.

As I advanced in my career and became a nurse practitioner, I gained a deeper understanding of the clinical gaps that exist beyond hospital and clinic walls, particularly after discharge or during long-term recovery. I saw firsthand how patients and families often struggled without adequate support at home.

Those experiences ultimately led me to expand beyond clinical practice by building and leading a home care agency, while also supporting other healthcare organizations through consulting.

Today, my work lives at the intersection of patient advocacy, healthcare operations, and leadership. Whether I’m caring for patients, mentoring professionals, or helping agencies grow, my mission remains the same: to deliver ethical, accessible, and compassionate care—while empowering others to do the same.

We all face challenges, but looking back would you describe it as a relatively smooth road?
Absolutely not! But that’s been one of the most defining parts of my journey. Like many in healthcare and entrepreneurship, I’ve faced challenges that tested both my endurance and resolve. I balanced demanding clinical roles while pursuing advanced education, often navigating long hours, emotional fatigue, and the weight of responsibility early in my career.

Alongside my professional roles, I was also building a life at home as a wife and mother. Learning to juggle patient care, leadership responsibilities, and family life came with real sacrifices—missed moments, constant recalibration, and the pressure to be present in all spaces at once. That season taught me the importance of boundaries, grace, and intentionality.

As a woman stepping into leadership, I also had to learn how to trust my voice, advocate for myself, and lead with confidence without losing compassion.

Those challenges ultimately shaped how I lead today. They deepened my empathy, strengthened my resilience, and clarified my purpose—to create care models that are ethical, sustainable, and supportive not only for patients, but for the families and professionals who care for them.

Thanks – so what else should our readers know about A Touch of Love Home Care?
A Touch of Love Home Care was created with one simple belief: care should feel personal, dignified, and consistent. We provide non-medical home care services that support individuals in remaining safely in their homes while maintaining independence and quality of life. Our services include assistance with daily living activities, companionship, and support for individuals recovering from illness or managing chronic conditions and providing skilled care.

What truly sets A Touch of Love Home Care apart is that we are clinically led, experience-driven and personable. Our organization is founded and overseen by a nurse practitioner who began her healthcare journey as a CNA. That perspective shapes everything we do—from how our caregivers are trained to how care plans are developed and monitored. We don’t just place caregivers in homes; we build relationships and ensure care is delivered with intention, accountability, and respect.

Brand-wise, what we are most proud of is trust and consistency. Our name isn’t just a brand—it’s a promise. Families know they can rely on us. Caregivers know they are supported. Partners know we operate with integrity. We are especially proud of our work with veterans and underserved populations, ensuring access to reliable, compassionate home care services.

What we want readers to know is that A Touch of Love Home Care is built on purpose, not convenience. Every service we offer is rooted in compassion, professionalism, and advocacy. We are more than a home care agency—we are a partner in care, committed to showing up with excellence, heart, and accountability every single day.

Alright, so to wrap up, is there anything else you’d like to share with us?
I would simply encourage readers to remember that behind every healthcare service is a human story—patients, families, and caregivers who deserve to be seen and supported. Whether you’re seeking care, providing it, or leading an organization, compassion and integrity should always guide the work.

At A Touch of Love Home Care, we believe that small acts of consistency, kindness, and accountability make the greatest impact. That belief continues to shape how we serve our community every day.
