SEI Healthcare Brentwood, TN

After 11 years of providing home care, it is our experience that the most successful care goes beyond creating and implementing a personalized care plan for your loved one. While superior care begins with a thorough, customized care plan, we believe the best outcomes are achieved only when it is implemented by experienced caregivers who have an aptitude for superior performance. Far beyond assisting your loved one with activities of daily living, we select only those caregivers who can be trusted to perpetuate our Culture of Caring® by mindfully providing the comfort, promoting the well-being, and preserving the dignity of every client they serve. It is our desire to provide your loved one the best service in the industry. To this end, we ask that you communicate openly and thoroughly with us regarding your expectations and our caregivers’ performance, and will periodically ask for your feedback.
