In this episode, host Scott Engman sits down with Jessica Olson, CEO and founder of Stay Graceful, an in-home healthcare company serving clients from infancy through end-of-life. Jess shares how her personal experiences, nonprofit leadership, and time in the South Dakota Legislature shaped her passion for improving healthcare access and helping people safely remain in their homes.
Scott and Jess explore the deep connection between healthcare, housing, and community, discussing the challenges families face when illness, disability, or aging suddenly make a home inaccessible. Jess sheds light on the real costs of home modifications, navigating complex paperwork, available state programs, caregiver burnout, and how her team provides reliable, person-centered care.
The episode highlights why housing is far more than a physical structure, it’s stability, dignity, and independence, and how proper healthcare support can help people maintain that sense of home for as long as possible.
