When my father broke his neck and was in the hospital and then rehab for several months, I realized there was a big need in our community to provide caring and competent home care. I joined the AmeriCare family in 2007 after seeing the struggles and pain my father went through. I knew I wanted to make a difference in people's lives when they really needed a helping hand and this seemed like the perfect fit.

At AmeriCare we work hard to find caregivers who love what they do and recognize the impact they have in their client's lives. Because we know how difficult it can be realizing that help is needed and accepting that help, we encourage our clients and their families to be involved in the caregiver selection as much as possible to ease in the transition and to help our clients still feel in control. We are very sensitive to the emotions that typically go along with the necessity of home care and work hard to find a solution that everyone is comfortable with.

No matter what level of care is being considered, AmeriCare is unique. Our approach is really a solution for the entire family, providing care for your loved one and complete confidence for you. We know that it's really all of you that need support. They need help with their routine. You need help balancing all your family and work commitments. We can help you achieve that balance and by working together as partners, we provide a better quality of home care for your loved one and a better quality of life for you. Our resources offer everyone relief because we believe time spent with your loved one should be a joy and not a responsibility.
