Winlock-based 'Caregivers 4 Mom & Dad' administrator issued cease-and-desist order for practicing without a license
May 15—The Washington state Department of Health's Unlicensed Practice Program last month notified Betty Jo Kitchen, who operated the in-home services agency Caregivers 4 Mom & Dad in Lewis County, of its intent to issue a cease-and-desist order.
According to a news release issued May 14, Kitchen, who the state confirmed "has never held a registered nurse license in Washington state," was operating "an in-home services agency where she conducted health care for patients and described herself as a home care nurse."
Kitchen's LinkedIn profile states that she is an administrator for the agency Caregivers 4 Mom & Dad, which advertises itself as a home health care service based out of Winlock.
The agency's Facebook page has been active since February 2018.
