Family Home Care changes ownership
The Wiberg family of Liberty Lake took ownership of a longtime hometown business, Family Home Care, 22820 E. Appleway Ave., on March 24, Family Home Care President Jeff Wiberg announced.

The business provides private-pay home care services to families throughout the Inland Northwest, and it continues to be locally owned and operated. Michael Nowling previously owned the business.

"Family Home Care has been a hallmark figure in our community for over 45 years," said Wiberg, who has worked for the company for the past five years. "We are pleased to have the stewardship for this wonderful organization and will continue that legacy into the future."

All 200 employees were retained in the transaction, keeping Family Home Care as one of Liberty Lake's leading employers.

Last summer, Family Home Care divested its Medicare Certified home health, hospice and primary care divisions to Gentiva Health Services Inc. Since then, Family Home Care has continued to be owned and operated locally to provide private high-quality care giving services.
