The Right Level of Support: New Florida Acti-Kare Branch Will Provide Compassionate Care for Seniors and Much-Needed Breaks for Family Caregivers

PALMETTO, Fla., Sept. 27, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- Truly compassionate care has to be highly individualized - how else can it take into account the needs, desires, and lifestyle of the beneficiary? When it comes to care for the elderly, many nursing homes and caregivers provide standardized, "cookie-cutter" services, but few take the time to understand the client's own activity level and support them in maintaining their independence for as long as possible.  Luckily, Acti-Kare Responsive In-Home Care was created for exactly this purpose, helping seniors to stay in their own comfortable homes for as long as possible while still receiving the care and attention they need and deserve.

Bianca Davis, the new owner and Area Director of an Acti-Kare branch in Palmetto, Florida (license #231906), is well aware of the need for these customized caregiver services in her community - not only to support seniors themselves, but also to bring peace of mind to their family and loved ones, whether remote or local.  

"I gained valuable experience as a caregiver by taking care of all the seniors in my family and, recently, of my beloved husband who struggled with lung cancer," she states. "During this time, I learned how precious a little outside help could be. In those moments of high stress combined with worries and sadness, having somebody to care for your loved ones feels like heaven on earth. This is what guided me towards the decision to help seniors and families in need."

Whether providing constant assistance or simply offering precious moments of relief to family caregivers, Acti-Kare's flexible service levels makes this nationally respected company an ideal choice. Designed with client individuality in mind, Acti-Kare's highly trained and compassionate caregivers support seniors' own activity levels, independence, and dignity, providing companionship, transportation and mobility assistance, help with errands, bill-paying, shopping, and nutritional aid, light housekeeping duties, and more. Seniors and their families can easily obtain as many hours of support as desired or needed, even as those requirements change over time.

Many Acti-Kare caregivers have prior experience and/or training in caring for those with Alzheimer's or other special needs. Ms. Davis notes that her branch's wide range of caregiving services may extend beyond helping seniors, as well. "Our services are also applicable to other areas of the population," she notes. "For instance, we can help people with disabilities - whether young or old - or even new mothers. There is so much need for our services."

Ms. Davis is enthusiastic about bringing this much-needed individuality to caregiving services in her area - a community she has called home for nearly nine years. Her new branch will service Bradenton and parts of Sarasota, Florida, as well as Palmetto. "I have always dreamed of earning my living by helping people," she states. "Joining Acti-Kare made my dream come true."
