Jaclyn Vest

Jaclyn Vest

Branch Operations Manager

Silver Angels of Tennessee - Carter, LLC

Jaclyn Vest has served as the Branch Operations Manager at Silver Angels of Tennessee – Carter, LLC since June 2018. Her career in healthcare was inspired by her mother, who dedicated over 38 years to leading a critical care unit with compassion and a servant’s heart. Following in those footsteps, Jaclyn began her journey working as a Home Care Aide/ CNA then moving into a level 1 trauma unit and later in scheduling for a home health agency.

Her hands-on experience as a caregiver gave her a unique perspective and a deep respect for those providing direct care. That understanding became even more personal when her father suffered a traumatic brain injury. After years of critical care and therapy, Jaclyn and her family made the decision to care for him at home. Walking through that season reinforced her calling to home care and her belief in the comfort and dignity of being with loved ones in a familiar environment.

Jaclyn considers her role at Silver Angels both a blessing and a mission. She is passionate about supporting clients and families with the highest level of care, guided by faith and her commitment to serving others with compassion and hope.
