OUR BACKGROUG
You want to know that they will be treated like family. And not just on paper. That they really will.
This is where character comes in. This is where the people behind a business matter.
If you want to know what a company is like, you look at the leadership. And we knew Wisdom Senior Care shared our values when we met them. It was crystal clear that both CEO Carolyn Thurston and husband Charles, COO felt called to serve the way we did.
We quickly learned that Wisdom had the right priorities. They put hiring the right people as caregivers first. They require far more training than any other organization we looked into. They nurture a culture of respect and compassion in every relationship. And they always put God and Faith first.
And it’s all because they and we understand the immense impact that loving home care has on the seniors we serve.
Called to serve
Hi! We’re Vanessa and Whitney: best friends and business partners, and we lead the team over here at the South Charlotte Wisdom Senior Care.
Some would call us lucky to find our life’s calling. Some would say it’s chance to find a best friend who shares your passion for serving others and a business partner who perfectly complements your skills. We call it putting God first.
As long as we’ve put God first, we’ve found that no matter how life unfolds, we know we’re exactly where we’re meant to be. That He’ll see us through the path we’re supposed to be on.
That’s how our two paths came together to serve and bring joy to the seniors of the South Charlotte community.

Our paths led us to you
Hi, Vanessa here.
My journey in caregiving started long before I ever knew it would become my life’s calling. I was just eight years old when my mother sent me to Charlotte to help my aunt recover from surgery.
I didn’t think much of it at the time—I was simply doing what I was asked. But my aunt saw something in me. She affectionately started calling me her “Little Nurse,” and in that moment, something inside me clicked.
For the first time, I felt the deep joy of serving and caring for someone in need.
That experience stayed with me as I grew up, and when the time came to choose a career, the medical field was a natural fit.
I found my purpose in dialysis care, where I worked as a technician for 15 years. It was a demanding job—one where precision and compassion went hand in hand.
One mistake in dialysis could be life-threatening, and I took that responsibility seriously. My managers trusted me to train others, and patients would specifically request me because they knew I genuinely cared.
More than anything, I was fulfilled by the relationships I built and the knowledge that I was making a difference in people’s lives.
Through my work in dialysis, I began caring for seniors, and I quickly realized they were my favorite patients. Their resilience, their stories, and their wisdom captivated me.
Every conversation was an opportunity to learn, and every interaction reaffirmed my belief in the importance of compassionate care.
It’s no coincidence that our company is called Wisdom Senior Care—because the wisdom of the seniors we serve is one of life’s greatest treasures.
So when Whitney approached me with the opportunity to partner with her in serving seniors in the Charlotte area, there was no hesitation.
I knew this was my chance to take everything I had learned—my passion, my experience, and my love for caregiving—and use it to make a real difference in people’s lives.
It’s more than just a career. It’s a calling, and I am honored to be a part of something that allows me to give back to a community that has given me so much.
Hi, I’m Whitney.
Somehow, I’ve always had a deep sense that you never truly know what someone has been through.
I guess you could call it my empathy superpower seeing beyond the surface and recognizing when someone needs kindness and care.That’s why every step of my career, from working as a nurse’s assistant in healthcare to later transitioning into hospitality,
has been about making people feel seen, valued, and supported. There’s something incredibly fulfilling about knowing you’ve
brightened someone’s day, even in the smallest way.I’ve come to realize that my greatest joy is in uplifting those around me. People may come in feeling tired, discouraged, or overwhelmed,
but if I can help them feel just a little lighter, a little stronger that’s where I find my purpose.
I truly believe this is the mission God has placed on my heart.
When the opportunity arose to serve the seniors of South Charlotte, I knew I couldn’t do it alone.
That’s why I immediately thought of Vanessa. She has the same heart for service, the same passion for caring for others,
and the same joy in making a difference. We share a belief that every person, especially seniors, deserves to be treated with respect and compassion.Our friendship began in 2012, and from that moment on, we’ve been each other’s biggest supporters
pushing each other to grow in our careers, faith, and personal lives. Now, we’re taking that same spirit
and pouring it into serving the senior community together.
