Meet the Team
At Seniors Helping Seniors® Raleigh, we have a passion for meeting the needs of seniors in a way that provides both dignity and a sense of camaraderie. Our owner(s) Kathy and Rich Uveges firmly believe we can do that through serving seniors in our community, which includes: Raleigh, Wake Forest, and surrounding areas.
Kathy and Rich Uveges live in Wake Forest, NC with two of their four children, and two dogs. They traveled extensively, living in northern Virginia, southern California, central Virginia and Zagreb, Croatia before making Wake Forest their home in 2009.
Kathy and Rich’s interest in the senior care area is a direct result of participating in the care of their elderly relatives. Kathy's maternal grandmother, “Memaw”, lived to age 98 and in her own home until she was 94. Kathy was directly involved in the decision to move her to an assisted living situation and if home care services were available the move would have been postponed longer. Kathy's paternal grandmother passed away at age 95 and Kathy, along with other family members, were able to fulfill her desire to age in place until the end. Rich's dad is 93, lives independently nearby, participated in the establishment of the franchise, and is now transitioning to a care recipient.
