The hands behind home.
Olive Branch began as a quiet refusal to let care become chaotic, impersonal, or performative. It is being grown with attention, follow-through, and respect for the details families feel most.
Two steady hands. One shared standard.
Ayleen LoMascolo and Alanna Stinson lead Olive Branch with different strengths and the same conviction: families should feel listened to, caregivers should feel respected, and trust should be visible in the follow-through—not simply printed in a slogan.
The story so far.
Not a list of corporate milestones. A record of what Olive Branch chose to protect as it grew: dignity, clarity, local relationships, and care that follows through.
The quiet refusal.
Years spent in healthcare and work serving older adults revealed the difference between care that looks polished and care that is truly held together. The agency began with a refusal to accept impersonal systems, thin follow-through, or families feeling like numbers.
An olive branch from heart to home.
The name grew from the idea of extending peace on purpose. Olive Branch was not built like a billboard; it was tended like something meant to last, with attention to roots before reach.
Trust, put into motion.
More than 85 individuals have already been supported through changing routines, difficult decisions, care transitions, and the everyday work of keeping home safe and familiar.
Education and community impact.
The next chapter reaches beyond direct care: practical family education, local partnerships, stronger referral relationships, and resources that help people understand their options—even when Olive Branch is not the final answer.
in purpose
Chosen sisters. One shared purpose.
Ayleen and Alanna describe their connection as a chosen sisterhood that feels older than the years they have known one another. When one looks at the other, it can feel like looking into a mirror—not because they are identical, but because they recognize the same intensity, intuition, loyalty, and refusal to let people become a number.
That closeness does not blur their roles. It strengthens them. They can challenge an idea without challenging the relationship, tell the truth early, and bring two different forms of leadership to the same table: Ayleen’s vision and advocacy beside Alanna’s structure and follow-through.
“We want families to leave every conversation with more clarity than they arrived with—even when Olive Branch is not the right final answer.”
Together, they are building a women-owned and operated company where caregivers are respected, families are educated, community partners are welcomed, and growth never outruns the promise made at the front door.
Ayleen LoMascolo
Owner & Founder
Ayleen’s understanding of aging began personally. Her bond with her grandmother taught her to see older adulthood through tenderness, humor, advocacy, and the belief that dignity is the baseline—not a service upgrade. That relationship still sits beneath the way she listens to an adult child who is worried about a parent, or a spouse trying to protect both a loved one and the life they have built together.
Across skilled nursing, home care, and nonprofit work serving older adults, Ayleen saw how quickly families can be asked to make life-changing decisions while exhausted and under-informed. She also saw what changes when someone slows down, notices the detail others missed, and explains the next step without pressure. Olive Branch grew from that refusal to let care become transactional.
Today, Ayleen protects the vision, family experience, and public voice of Olive Branch. She brings creativity and momentum to the work, builds community relationships, and keeps asking how the agency can teach—not only sell. Her standard is both ambitious and intimate: every process should eventually help one real person feel safer, more respected, or less alone at home.
Alanna Stinson
Co-Owner & COO
Alanna—whom many clients, caregivers, and colleagues know as Ally—is the steady presence that turns “I do not know what to do next” into a plan a family can actually use. She listens for what is being said—and what may be carried underneath it—then brings calm structure to schedules, responsibilities, expectations, and the small handoffs that determine whether support feels dependable.
Her way of leading is both practical and deeply human. Alanna brings an advocate’s backbone and an artist’s eye: she notices patterns, senses when something is out of balance, and cares about how a system feels to the person living inside it. That combination helps her translate good intentions into clear communication, thoughtful coordination, and work that can hold up on a difficult day.
As Co-Owner & COO, Alanna shapes the operational foundation that allows Olive Branch to grow without becoming impersonal. She helps care teams communicate, keeps the client and family experience visible inside decisions, and builds the repeatable systems that make trust more than a promise. Her goal is not simply efficiency; it is steadiness people can feel.
The principles at our center.
Yes—pits. Something more honest, memorable, and more Olive Branch than a standard list of corporate values.
Excellence made visible in the details.
Understanding before recommending.
Doing what was promised, especially unseen.
Respect for each person’s history and choices.
Helping people make informed decisions.
The hands families welcome home.
Caregivers are the hands shaping the day-to-day experience of care at home. Olive Branch looks for independent professionals who respect routines, privacy, and home culture; communicate clearly; and bring both capability and calm presence.
Trust begins before the first knock. Thoughtful introductions help families know who is coming into the home, why the caregiver may be a good fit, and what the first visit can feel like. It is a small detail with a large effect: care begins with familiarity rather than uncertainty.
Care should feel deeply human.
Whether you are looking for support for someone you love or meaningful work as a caregiver, there is a place to begin.
