Executive Director

Written By Jamie's Place

Position Overview

The Methow Valley Family Home Center Association, also known as Jamie’s Place, is a home in the heart of the Methow Valley where elders, with the support of family, community, and caregivers, enjoy meaningful lives with dignity and grace. Rather than focusing on limitations, our approach supports retained abilities, autonomy, and participation in daily life — allowing elders to remain active contributors within their home and community. Jamie’s Place is expanding to open a new facility in early 2029 that will double our capacity, create 30 new caregiver jobs, and serve as a training hub to support relationship-centered elder care throughout the Methow Valley. Construction for the new facility is underway, with $21M raised toward our $24M expansion goal. Jamie’s Place is poised for a vibrant future and continued impact and success. 

Jamie’s Place is located in the Methow Valley, a place of extraordinary natural beauty with an extraordinarily caring community, along the eastern slope of the North Cascades in North Central Washington. The 501(c)(3) organization currently employs 25 full- and part-time staff and operates with a $1.6M annual budget.
