About The Founder - Cathy Schaefer

At the Kindness House, we believe in creating a community rooted in compassion, dignity, and purpose for women 60+ who have devoted their lives to caring for others. Founded by a seasoned healthcare professional with a lifelong passion for making a difference, the Kindness House is more than just a shared living space—it’s a place to foster meaningful connections, promote wellness, and honor the contributions of those who have dedicated themselves to healthcare.


With years of experience as a phlebotomist, medical assistant, EMT, and cardiac rehab technician, our founder built a foundation of care from the inside out. Her journey didn’t stop with clinical care—she created a company to serve the elderly as a tribute to her late father, and her passion led her to launch multiple senior living and wellness-related businesses. These enterprises, enriched by holistic partnerships, have provided comfort and care for seniors navigating transitions from rehab, hospitals, or hospice.


At the Kindness House, this dedication continues with a focus on shared living, wellness, and community. Our founder’s background in senior-focused services, from managing dementia care homes to ensuring compliance with state healthcare protocols, brings deep expertise in creating safe, nurturing environments.


Our tenants benefit from our founder’s hands-on knowledge managing assisted living homes and personalized care, combined with her experience in sales, marketing, and medical software like EPIC. This blend of skills ensures not just a well-managed home, but a place where every tenant feels seen, supported, and valued.


Join us at the Kindness House, where a lifetime of caring turns into a legacy of compassion, connection, and friendship.
