CIRCLE OF INDEPENDENCE Jan and Charlie Stammer developed this company to provide supportive independence for the senior population. Circle of Independence offers a low cost homemaker/companion alternative for senior citizens who are considering moving into an assisted living facility, but still wish to remain on their own. Money plays a big role in the care of seniors and Jan and Charlie never wanted that to prevent anyone from receiving excellent care. Since the average cost of an ALF ranges from $2500-$3500/month and takes a senior out of his or her home, the Stammers focus on helping to keep them home and keep them safe. At Circle of Independence, they believe it takes a circle of support to care for seniors. Their services run the gamut from sharing a meal to shopping to pet care to housekeeping. By enabling self-sufficiency to seniors they give peace of mind to their families.
