He was especially drawn to Comfort Keepers’ approach to caregiving and its focus on helping seniors live their best lives at home.

She brings more than 12 years of HR experience across a variety of industries, including home health and hospice, utility services, digital and physical collectibles, and outdoor living products.

She is excited to bring her experience, enthusiasm, and people-first approach to the Comfort Keepers culture.

Dallas now lives in Argyle, Texas, and is part of a blended family that includes three sisters, one brother, three nephews, and one niece. Being an aunt is one of her favorite roles, and she loves spending time with her nieces and nephews.

Client Care Coordinator

Email: JamieBarter@comfortkeepers.com

Jamie Barter is an experienced Client Care Coordinator with a strong background in senior care, community outreach, dementia education, and family support. She is known for her warm communication style, her ability to build meaningful relationships, and her dedication to helping seniors and their families feel supported and informed throughout their care experience.

Jamie previously served as a Community Liaison with BrightStar Care, where she created and led a dementia education series in partnership with the Benbrook Public Library. She completed support group facilitator training through the Alzheimer's Association and co-founded a Dementia Caregiver Support Group at Benbrook United Methodist Church. She also developed interactive cognitive engagement programs, including senior pop trivia and memory-stimulating activities, which became popular in senior living communities.

Before entering senior care, Jamie spent 14 years as President of the Benbrook Area Chamber of Commerce. She later stepped away from the Chamber to care for her mother who was diagnosed with cancer. After her mother's passing, she cared for her father who was diagnosed with Alzheimer's for six years. Jamie helped maintain his independence at home for as long as possible through her support and home care services. As his condition progressed, Jamie and her husband moved him into their home, where she cared for him full-time during the final year of his life. She describes this time as a blessing and honors the role she held, while also understanding firsthand the emotional and physical challenges that come with being a caregiver.

This personal experience is at the heart of Jamie's commitment to serving seniors. She connects deeply with families navigating the complexities of care and understands the uncertainty, decisions, and emotions they face. Her passion for dementia education is rooted in both her personal journey and her professional work alongside dementia educators and specialists.

Outside of work, Jamie enjoys spending time with her family, especially in her new role as grandmother. She likes reading, crocheting, being outdoors, and cheering on the Texas Rangers. She is part of a proud military family that includes her father, husband, daughter, and son-in-law, who have all served in the United States Armed Forces.
