About Joining Our Talented Team
Meshelle and David McKendry
Owners
Meshelle McKendry was born in Lubbock, Texas and David is a native to Colorado. They were both raised in the Rocky Mountain state and witnessed the determination and motivation of family’s owning their own businesses. With both their families’ backgrounds in business ownership, the two were excited to open a business of their own, that provides care for seniors and adults with disabilities. The parents of three are now almost empty nesters. David and Meshelle’s oldest son works as a decorative painter in the Valley, their daughter’s family lives in Minnesota, and their youngest son attends Colorado Mesa University. Proud to be a part of this community, David and Meshelle own a peach orchard in the Vinelands of Palisade and support building their community as good neighbors both personally and as business owners.

Stephanie has been involved in various arts and non-profit organizations, and also has experience running her own business as well as working in veterinary operations. She is a mother of three wonderful children and has an adorable cat named "Otter." In her free time, Stephanie enjoys playing her ukulele, watching sports, spending time with her family, and engaging in creative projects.
