Director of Client Care for our Southwestern Pennsylvania office in Pittsburgh, Sherrie Durr began her career in home care as a caregiver. Sherrie shared with us recently about her path to JEVS Care at Home, her role in delivering client care, and a fun fact about Pittsburgh that all Pennsylvanians should know.
1. Tell Us about your professional background and how you came to JCAH?
I worked in the Health Care field for many years prior to coming into the Home Care Industry. I started in the homecare industry about 19 years ago. I was a stay-at-home mom of 5, the youngest one having Cystic Fibrosis. We had nurses in the home to help with the youngest, which opened my eye to the home care industry. I started as a caregiver, which allowed me to work a few hours a day while the kids were in school. I grew to love the industry and after a few months became a trainer, then a supervisor. I came to JEVS Care at Home in 2019.
2. Tell us about your responsibilities as Director of Client Care.
I manage our Home Care and HAB Division in the Southwestern Pennsylvania area. Partnering with our senior client care managers, client care managers, and support teams to establish and maintain relationships with clients, caregivers, and referral sources to ensure that we are providing the best care to our clients.
3. What aspect of your work do you find most fulfilling?
I enjoy working as a team to make sure that our clients are getting the services that they need.
4. How would you explain “The JCAH Difference” to a potential client or partner organization?
We take the time to get to know our clients and caregivers. We make sure we meet their needs and expectations to build strong relationships throughout the time we provide services.
5.What do you enjoy doing when you’re not working?
I enjoy spending time on our boat, riding our RZR, and spending time with my family and friends.
6.If you were to acquire a superpower, what would it be?
Foresight: being able to see the outcome of potential actions before the actions are taken.

Pittsburgh is known as The City of Bridges. It has 446 bridges!
