2026 Senior Services Alliance

Jerry Welch is a REALTOR® with Ebby Halliday in Rockwall, where he has lived since 2013 with his wife of 51+ years, Nicki. They moved from Plano to be near their grandchildren, Brady and Landry, and love being actively involved in their lives.

Jerry is deeply committed to community service. He graduated from Leadership Rockwall (Class of 2016 – Best Class Ever) and participated in the Rockwall Citizens Police and Fire Academies. He served six years on the Planning & Zoning Commission, chairing the City's Comprehensive Plan. He has also been on the Advisory Board of Women in Need.

Currently, Jerry serves on the boards of the Rockwall Chamber of Commerce, Rockwall Noon Rotary, and as President of the Rockwall County Rainbow Room. He also volunteers as a Life Group substitute teacher at Lake Pointe Church, always striving to serve God and his community.

I love Rockwall; the Downtown, the Harbor and food scene are blessings, but the people make this place home. Working with local non-profits like Helping Hands, Meals on Wheels Senior Services and Kiwanis Club connects me with great volunteers and those in need. I enjoy working with the Rockwall Chamber of Commerce, the City of Rockwall and the Downtown Rockwall Association to help our community keep its small, family friendly atmosphere alive. My wife Marinda and three kids love the Texas sunshine and southern hospitality. After college, I went to Wisconsin Lutheran Seminary in Mequon, Wisconsin to finish my formal eight years of training to become a pastor. I graduated WLS in May 2016 with a Master of Divinity degree and was assigned to Divine Peace Church Rockwall.

Need to enroll in Medicare coverage?  I help to folks who are confused about their Medicare decisions. As an independent licensed insurance broker, I educate many on their options and then enroll them into a plan that fits their situation.  I'm Carol Otto, MEDICARE COACH CAROL. 

My family has called Rockwall home since 1996 (by way of Oklahoma) and I love my hometown!  I am an active member of Aspasians where we raise thousands of dollars every year to give back to Rockwall County HS Seniors.  I started Villa Teresa in 2018 after a personal experience of losing my grandma to pancreatic cancer and have been on a mission to bring a home to Rockwall that is dedicated to taking care of the dying and their families.  It will be a first for all of North Texas!  

At Right at Home Rockwall, we're dedicated to being much more than a simple home care company. We are a navigator of what comes next for seniors and adults with disabilities. Our mission is to improve the quality of life for those we serve. That means it's always about the people we support, and our dedicated professional teams working tirelessly to provide compassionate, highly-trained care for our clients. Living and breathing our mission each and every day is the passion driving our daily work, and the dedication to provide the highest caliber of in-home care.

Maya is the founder of Freshly Clean. She started out cleaning for family and friends throughout her community and takes pride in cleaning homes. Life gets busy, between balancing motherhood, activities, and everything else and to still maintain a clean house is quite challenging. Maya loves helping others to give them the freedom they deserve to spend more family time and activities they enjoy instead of cleaning on weekends or days off. With the support of friends and family, their honest feedback and word-of-mouth she saw the demand for other people needing the same service. She is driven and passionate to keep moving forward in this journey.

We're thrilled to be here in Rockwall! My wife, Abby, and I moved to this wonderful community on October 4, 2024, right after we got married. I'm a Christian Estate Planning Attorney, eager to serve the needs of Rockwall residents. Abby has been a familiar face in the area for years, teaching ballet for seven years and third grade for two. Rockwall has truly proven to be an ideal spot for us to raise a family and establish my practice. We're grateful to have found a welcoming home at Lakepointe Church, and we're so excited to see God's plans for us unfold as we become more deeply rooted in the community.
