Meet Our Team

Welcome to Home Instead of Seattle, where compassionate care meets family values. We are more than just a senior care company; we are a team of dedicated professionals committed to enhancing the lives of our senior community in Seattle.

Meet our owner Trevor Albertsen. As a husband and devoted father of two wonderful boys, he understands the importance of family and the values of love, respect, and companionship. His background as a former mortgage professional has equipped him with a strong work ethic, attention to detail, and a commitment to excellence that is reflected in the care we provide.

When he’s not working diligently to ensure our seniors receive the highest level of care, you’ll often find him on the slopes, a passionate skier who embraces life’s adventures to the fullest. This zest for life and love for the outdoors have instilled in him a deep appreciation for every moment, which he brings into our senior care services.

At Home Instead of Seattle, we believe that aging should be a time of comfort, dignity, and joy. Our Seattle-based team is dedicated to creating a nurturing and supportive environment where seniors can flourish. We know that every individual is unique, and we tailor our services to meet their specific needs and preferences.

Join us in providing the best care for your loved ones. Discover the warmth and companionship that define our senior care community. Together, we’ll ensure that your family members continue to lead fulfilling lives in the comfort of their own homes.

While managing a local grocery store in 2007, Kevin was approached to join a home care team for one of the seniors in his neighborhood.

With over 7 years of experience in customer service and a degree in Mass Communication, I’ve developed strong written and verbal communication skills that have been essential in connecting with people and solving problems effectively. In 2021, I was recognized in the top 2% of teammates for performance, which led to my promotion as a Quality Analyst in 2023.

That role deepened my strengths in attention to detail, time management, problem-solving, and documentation management—skills that are vital in scheduling and operations. I’m particularly drawn to roles that combine operational efficiency with human connection—two areas I’m deeply passionate about.

I bring a compassionate approach to resolving care challenges, ensuring clients and caregivers feel supported with empathy and professionalism.

I’m excited to contribute to a team where I can apply my strong work ethic, service-oriented mindset, and dedication to quality performance—making a meaningful impact not just operationally, but on the people we support every day.
