ABOUT US

This might sound a little cliche but the truth is that we are happiest when we feel we are being of benefit or value to others.

Let me tell you a little about us and how Chipipe Villa all came about.

Hi! My name is Dana Racinskas and I am a registered nurse and have been practicing for over 20 years. I have a background and a passion for geriatrics care.

A few years ago, in Dallas Texas, my mom needed to find an assisted living home. To my surprise, the cost was averaging between $7,000 and $8,000 per month.
The sad thing was that I didn’t feel there were many homes that even cared about the care they were going to be providing for my mom. It was at this point that my eyes were “opened” and I felt a calling to help provide those needs for others like my mom who needed help.
​
​Then out of the blue… both my husband and I felt that God was telling us to go to Ecuador to open a home. The strange thing is that we had never even discussed this with each other. The next thing we knew we were on the coast in beautiful Salinas Ecuador.

Once here, it took us awhile to get our bearings and figure things out. However, we soon learned that the things we had read about the culture, the food and the costs associated with daily living were all true. Without all of these conditions being met we knew we could not fulfill our dream of being able to help people who needed assistance. After all, sustainability and preservation of funds is critical in our later years.

Our blessings continued as we now have a beautiful home, Chipipe Villa, with the most wonderful landscaping complete with pool and hot tub.

Next, it was on to the paperwork. Here in Ecuador it takes longer than one would like to open certain businesses. We had been told to not get our expectations up that things could drag out. However, once again to our pleasant surprise God blessed us with an incredibly expedient sign-off on our business.

So here we are, in Chipipe Villa, ready to fulfill our dreams of being able to help others who need assistance and are desirous of finding a place and level of service that we have all come to expect in life… the best. Not only does Chipipe Villa offer the highest level of care with personal attention, we also offer one of the most reasonable pricing structures anywhere in the world.

We truly believe that God has a purpose in our being in Ecuador and specifically Salinas. We also believe in the golden rule from Mathew 7:12… “…Whatever you want people to do for you, do the same for them,…”

This is the basis for our entire lives and business. ​

​We have always felt that we would never have a facility that we would not live in ourselves. Consequently we do live here and we enjoy calling our clients our friends!

We hope you will explore our site and give us a call. We look forward to having another friend join our quaint family here at Chipipe Villa.
