About Penda Senior Home Care

Love-centered, boutique-style care that prioritizes quality over volume. Founded on kindness, dignity, and genuine human connection.

Who We Are

Care Rooted in Love

Penda Senior Home Care is a compassionate, community-focused provider of non-medical in-home care services for seniors across San Diego. The word “Penda” comes from the Swahili language and means love, which is the foundation of everything we do.

We believe that seniors deserve to live safely, comfortably, and joyfully in the place they call home — surrounded by people who treat them with patience, respect, and empathy. This is the heart of Penda Senior Home Care.

Our Story

Founded by Mildred Kiminyei

Penda Senior Home Care was founded by Mildred Kiminyei, a healthcare professional with years of experience serving seniors and families. Mildred saw a growing need for care that goes beyond routine tasks — care that places the emotional and social well-being of seniors at the center.

Her vision was simple: to create a service rooted in love, delivered by caregivers who are trained, trusted, and deeply committed to improving the lives of older adults. Today, Penda Senior Home Care reflects that vision through high-quality support and genuine, relationship-driven service.
