Naples Senior Home Care

Alison Holmes

What does a good day look like? I didn’t coin the phrase, but it’s the question I asked my parents in 2019 when I brought up the subject of their moving back to the United States after living abroad for nearly 60 years. After all, as Americans in their 80s, wouldn’t living in Naples somewhere near their daughter who owns a home health agency make the living easy?

Aging can throw us off balance in many ways, but there are nurturing solutions. For most of us, a good day is going to be one where we wake up feeling looked after and secure, spend the day engaged in things we get satisfaction from or find pleasure in doing and, finally, go to bed feeling comfortable, content, and confident that tomorrow is another day. There are, of course, bad days and average ones thrown in, but at Preferred Care at Home of Naples, our mission is to aim high – for everyone involved – be it our clients themselves, the family members who play a role, and our caregivers alike.

To do this, safety and communications play a big part in caring for those in need and offering Home Health Care Services of the finest degree. We look after those with brain changes including all dementias, Parkinson’s, and memory loss as well as those seniors who are mentally agile and still curious; we help ensure that they don’t lose control of their own story. We stay connected. We listen. We respond.

Certainly, we don’t claim to be one of the largest such agencies in town, in fact, we don’t want to be that at all. Rather, our approach is that of a boutique, concierge-style service with checks and balances in all the right places. We pride ourselves on maintaining close, personal ties with everyone involved in each story while alleviating many of the day-to-day stresses and uncertainties we all face as individuals, as families. We aim to find the best caregiver-client match so that everyone is content.

So please, reach out if you think we can help or you simply wish to talk things through; we are happy to work with you towards a solution to meet your needs.

Finally, as to my parents and their own journey, they agreed with my reasoning – they’re coming “home” in 2024, with a Cairn Terrier, a Persian cat and a whole lot more. Updates on our Facebook page:

As the Director of Long-Term Care, I devote my time to finding solutions for the ever-changing needs of our clients and, more to the point – match-making of sorts; I strive to find the best ‘caregiver-to-client’ fit for each and every one of our clients – occasionally, even, on very short notice. As a homecare company, we need to be flexible, and so it’s my role to make sure things always work out the best way possible for all parties. With a passion for improving the lives of those we help, I take pride in ensuring reliable and quality care is provided in the ever-changing lives of our clients.
