Samanta Descombes-Roseme, a registered nurse, co-founded Assured Quality Homecare in 2016 after witnessing the harm untrained caregivers caused during her hospice work. Disturbed by the lack of standards in Connecticut’s home-care system, she designed a model that prioritizes safety and training, requiring all caregivers to be certified before entering a client’s home.
Today, she leads award-winning teams across Connecticut and Rhode Island, fostering a culture where clients feel secure, caregivers feel confident and families never feel alone.
What’s been your biggest professional accomplishment so far in your career?
My proudest accomplishment is building a mission-driven home-care agency that consistently delivers on its promise. My unique training and care model has earned trust across hundreds of families and care professionals, as reflected in community reputation, online reviews, staff feedback and third-party satisfaction systems.

Why do you deserve to be a 40 Under Forty?

• My consistent impact earned deep trust — evidenced by glowing reviews, caregiver pride and high-quality ratings across thousands of care hours.
• I’m transforming home care through advocacy, mentorship and standards — guiding families, professionals and policymakers toward compassionate, accountable care models.
What do you like to do outside of work?
I pour into what matters most — my family. A devoted wife and hands-on mom of three, I am present at every event, values-driven at home and always serving. From mentoring women to cooking meals to growing personally, I live with purpose.
How are you involved in the community?
I serve on the board of MGI: Seniors Strong Community, formerly Mystic Geriatric Institute, advancing programs that uplift older adults. I mentor aspiring women leaders and partners with local organizations to elevate caregiving, support families and honor aging with dignity — uniting my professional experience with a faith-inspired commitment to service.
Fun Fact: I sing with passion, not pitch — covering all vocal parts. Choirs still don’t know my section.
