At Home Care Partners, our mission has always been rooted in helping individuals live safely, confidently, and meaningfully in the place they call home. Today, we are incredibly proud to celebrate a leader who lives that mission from the inside out—our Managing Partner, Karla Frese—for being honored with the LeadingAge Nebraska Changemaker Award.
This award is not just a recognition—it’s a reflection of impact, heart, and purpose.
What the Changemaker Award Represents
The LeadingAge Nebraska Changemaker Awards recognize individuals in aging services who are redefining what care can look like. These are professionals who bring:
- Creativity in solving complex challenges
- Compassion in every interaction
- Innovation that moves the industry forward
They are leaders who improve the lives of seniors, advocate for high-quality care, and bring fresh energy and perspective to the field.
Why Karla Was Chosen
For those who know Karla, this honor comes as no surprise.
Karla leads with passion, because she believes this work is deeply meaningful and purposeful. She doesn’t see home care as a service alone—she sees it as a ministry to serve others, an opportunity to meet people in vulnerable moments and walk alongside them with dignity, respect, and love.
Her leadership is grounded in both vision and calling.
She has:
- Championed aging in place, helping families remain in the homes they love
- Brought specialized education to the community in areas like Parkinson’s and dementia care
- Strengthened collaboration across healthcare teams, improving outcomes and reducing hospitalizations
- Built a culture where caregivers feel empowered, valued, and connected to a greater purpose
Karla sees people, their stories, and the opportunity to make a lasting difference.
A Leader Who Serves and Lifts Others
What makes Karla truly exceptional is how she leads. With humility. With intention. And with a deep belief that this work matters.
She builds meaningful partnerships, and continually asks, “How can we do this better for the people we serve?” That mindset has shaped not just a company, but a community.
A Moment of Purpose and Pride
This recognition reflects more than one person—it reflects a shared mission to elevate how we care for others as they age.
Karla, thank you for leading with heart, for seeing this work as a calling, and for reminding all of us that serving others is some of the most important work we can do.
