Who we are

Kara Stokes: CEO, Founder, MSN, CNP

At Caring Touch, we go beyond in-home health services—we deliver care that’s shaped around you. Founded in 2023 by Kara, a family nurse practitioner with a rich background in neurology, trauma, surgery, and memory care, our mission is simple: to enhance quality of life while honoring independence and dignity.

With Kara’s expertise as a Certified Dementia Practitioner (CDP), every care plan is thoughtfully tailored to meet the unique needs of each client. Backed by a team of highly skilled and empathetic professionals, we bring both knowledge and compassion into every home.

When you choose Caring Touch, you choose reliable, personalized support—rooted in experience, guided by compassion, and committed to helping you or your loved one thrive at home.

Our Team

At Caring Touch, your peace of mind is our priority. Every member of our team is carefully vetted through trusted referrals, BCI background checks, and driving record screenings. We look for candidates with strong healthcare experience—whether as RNs, STNAs, CNAs, or in hospital settings—and ensure they meet our high standards of professionalism and compassion.

Beyond experience, each team member is CPR certified and personally trained by our leadership team to deliver care the Caring Touch way. This thorough process allows you to feel confident and comfortable, knowing your loved ones are in the hands of skilled, trustworthy, and compassionate professionals.
