Sitter finds purpose as Meth-Wick companion at Cedar Rapids home
Jackie, 54, works at Meth-Wick Manor reading, walking, writing letters, styling hair, and escorting eight elderly women to meals. Families pay an hourly wage for care beyond simple sitting. Beginning in 1976 with Hope Kurtz, she expanded to three more residents while earning nurses’ praise.
