SEATTLE — Many people want to stay in their own homes as long as possible as they age or face an illness. Serengeti Home Care is helping people do that as a licensed, insured and bonded in-home care company.
Dr. Albert Munanga, CEO of Serengeti Home Care, and his wife, Josephine Mporokoso, lead the company. Mporokoso is a master’s prepared registered nurse with 20 years of caregiving experience, and Dr. Munanga is also a master’s prepared registered nurse and doctor in behavioral health.
“We offer support and care to people of all ages in the comfort of their own homes,” Dr. Munanga said.
This support includes help with activities of daily living, including shopping, errands and taking walks. It also includes medication management and care coordination, allowing clients to stay at home while getting these medical services.
“Nothing beats the dignity and comfort and security of being in your own home at a time when you most need it,” Dr. Munanga said.
The team at Serengeti Care works with clients and families to design programs to meet specific needs. Serengeti is derived from the word "seringit" in the Maasai language, meaning "endless plains.” Serengeti Care aims to reach all people for care and find solutions.
“We will have endless possibilities for you,” Dr. Munanga said. “So, let’s sit down and talk and design a plan of care that meets your needs and your family’s.”
In addition to providing comfort and security, in-home care can prevent unnecessary hospitalizations with preventative care.
“We prevent falls from happening,” Dr. Munganga said. “We ensure you’re taking your medications on time. We ensure you’re eating as well.”
The cost of homecare varies depending on where a patient lives and what services are needed and may be covered under Medicaid, private insurance and long-term care insurance plans. Serengeti Care’s client care managers will sit down with clients and talk through options and a care plan.
