Hello, my name is Kari Situm, Aging Services Coordinator at All Embracing Home Care. I started at AEHC in November, 2019. I was born and raised in Grand Forks, ND. I graduated in 2016 from the Occupational Therapy Assistant program from Northland Community and Technical College in East Grand Forks with an Associate’s Degree.
My husband Dario and I have been married for 13 years. We have 2 children, Madison (17) and Lukas (13). I have always worked in a field where I was working with the elderly population. When I am not at work I enjoy spending time with my family and friends at our lake place in Devils Lake; we enjoy fishing, boat rides, and relaxing in the sun. My ultimate goal is to help elders age in place within their home environment. There is no better place than home. My elders will always be near and dear to my heart!

Roberta Hassett, Program Coordinator
My name is Roberta Hassett (Robbie) and I am the DD Program Coordinator at All Embracing Home Care. I started with All Embracing in June of 2023.

I went to the University of North Dakota and graduated with my BSW in 2019 and my MSW in 2021. I have experience working with many different populations.

My ideal work centers around working with vulnerable populations helping them to: improve their quality of life, execute their right to self-determination, and address injustices.
