Why Kris Opened Sequoia

Kris Amarino has been a registered nurse since 1980, with experience spanning neonatal, pediatric, and adult ICU. In the 1990's, Kris owned an RCFE board & care home while operating home health agencies locally, both in supervisory and administrative roles.

Kris felt her patients deserved a higher standard of care than what she was providing at the companies she worked for, so, along with Gary Becker, she opened Sequoia Home Health and Companion Care in 2010. As both owner and operator, Kris has the passion and oversight needed to ensure Sequoia provides nothing less than the best in care for her patients and clients.

The Sequoia staff is treated like family. Maty Tucker and Wendy Christensen have been with Kris from the inception of Sequoia Home Health & Companion Care, and several other team members and clinicians have known and followed Kris for years.

Phrases like, "I couldn't have done it without you," "you allowed mom to stay at home when the alternative was a nursing home," or "thanks to your caring staff, I was able to remain at home safely" are commonly heard words of praise to the staff at Sequoia Home Health & Companion Care. We treat families as if they were our own.
