Understanding that the care for loved ones requires understanding and adaptability, King Private Care ensures that every service is tailored to accommodate individual requirements.
King Mpofu, a native of Zimbabwe and South Africa, embarked on his journey to the United States with a goal of realizing the ‘American Dream’ and securing a better life for himself and his family. He, along with 7 siblings, was raised by a loving, hard-working, single mom in Zimbabwe. Sometimes they would have to go for a couple of days without food. Unfortunately, King’s mom died when he was 24, after which he moved to South Africa for a better life and opportunity. King graduated with a bachelor’s degree in business management from the University of Johannesburg, where he also discovered a love for personal training and physical therapy. King also received training from Trifocus Fitness Academy and gained over 10 years of experience in these fields.
Upon receiving his degree, King realized his dream to move to the United States. In the U.S., he obtained both massage and personal hygiene certifications from Landon Wellness Academy. On a trip as a cruise ship worker, King met Brent, a Tellico Village resident, who encouraged him and helped him to move here.
Once here, while working in the fitness center, he then met Janet Johnson and her husband, Dick, who had recently received a diagnosis of Parkinson’s disease. They made an instant connection. King not only provided physical support for Dick but also brought humor and emotional support for Janet while she was struggling with the decline of her husband. Janet explains, “In caregiving, it’s as much about taking care of the spouse. Whatever the medical issue is, it’s emotionally wearing on you as a couple. Not only did [King] bring a lot of fabulous care to both of us, but the humor is huge.”
The relationship King forged with the Johnsons also had a major impact on him. He found a family in Dick and Janet that he wasn’t expecting. “It’s a package deal because I wouldn’t be here is it wasn’t for her”, King says.
King’s method of personal empathy and caring, combined with physical therapy and personal training is what King Private care is about. Trust is the foundation of quality home health care, and King understands how crucial it is to feel confident in the person caring for you or your loved one

What Clients Say
“We hired King as a health aide during the final weeks of my husband’s life. King was very strong and able to move him comfortably for personal care including showering. Hospice was not able to shower him due to his loss of strength, but King managed it. I was impressed with King’s direct and respectful communication style combined with a sense of humor. He was compassionate and timely. I would recommend him without hesitation.” Lynne (Tellico Village Resident)
“King was checking on my mother, Evelyn, for three weeks. I was traveling and wanted someone to be available, if needed. King exceeded my expectation! My mother enjoyed his company. They chatted and he could make her laugh! It made my trip more relaxing to know she was in reliable hands.” Caroline (Tellico Village Resident)
“In addition to the humor, King reinvigorated my husband in ways that former caretakers couldn’t. He’s probably the most thorough caretaker I’ve had.” Janet Johnson (Tellico Village Resident)
