Meet our founder
A heart for service. A commitment to dignity.
Pathways to Joyful Living was founded by Loreta Waziri, a nurse and military veteran whose life has been shaped by service, compassion, and a deep respect for others.
Born and raised in Kenya, Loreta carries a strong appreciation for family, community, and the importance of caring for one another. Her nursing background has reinforced her belief that every individual deserves to be treated with dignity, patience, and respect, regardless of age or ability.
Her military service further strengthened her commitment to responsibility, integrity, and serving others with purpose.
Through Pathways to Joyful Living, Loreta is building an organization dedicated to helping individuals receive compassionate, personalized support in the comfort of their own homes. She believes quality care is about more than assisting with daily activities; it is about listening, honoring personal choices, preserving independence, and bringing peace of mind to families.
Her vision is simple: to help every person feel valued, supported, and empowered to live as joyfully and independently as possible.
At Pathways to Joyful Living, care is personal. Every person matters. Every day is an opportunity to make a difference.
