Shannon Rapp, Co-Founder
Vice President Countryside Chamber of Commerce "Before starting BlueSky Home Care & Transportation, I had a wonderful 38-year career in management with Dominick’s Finer Foods. While working there I became friendly with an older gentleman named George who had just lost his wife of 65 years. George and I became very good friends and I soon realized just how lonely his days were. He was in great health but lacked companionship after the death of his beloved wife. At one point George broke his ankle and since I lived nearby his family, reached out to see who could help George with the activities of daily living. All of a sudden, a light bulb went off! Are there people who do this kind of thing? After doing research I discovered a huge need for this kind of service. Not only did I help George, but with my business partner, we founded BlueSky to assist other individuals. I am very passionate about our services and the difference we make in our client’s lives. I have resided in the area for 45 years, am a member of the Home Care Association of America, and a member of Aging Well in Countryside. It is a privilege to serve you and I look forward to providing you with an exceptional home care experience." |
Terri Grant, Co-Founder
"I’m Terri Grant, the co-founder and Manager of BlueSky Home Care & Transportation, before opening BlueSky my professional experience had been in the area of financial services, but I didn’t find it rewarding. So, I was on a search to find a career to fulfill my passion for helping people in a way that would positively impact my community. The result ended up being BlueSky Home Care and Transportation. Our goal was to build a client centered company that offered excellent and affordable home care to individuals and families and in the process, help brighten each one of their days. With the support and commitment of our dedicated employees I can say with pride that we have done this! Since our office opened in 2011, I have come to understand even better what an amazing service we are able to provide. When a client says to me, "You don’t know what burden you’ve lifted off my shoulders," it just reinforces the knowledge that I made the right decision and that we are making a significant impact in the lives of our clients." |
