Deck Hankins
Deck Hankins loves a good story. It was an unexpected twist in his own story that drew him to a career in home care.
On September 27, 2001 Deck and his family brought his father home from the hospital with a terminal diagnosis. His father, a World War II Veteran and a prisoner of war survivor, was finally home and they were left with many unanswered questions. How would they care for him? Who could help? Who should they call?
These questions were never answered. On the day he returned home Deck’s father passed away in the same house he was brought home to as a baby.
19 years later, in May of 2020, Deck finds himself sitting in an office, boxes stacked against the wall, filing cabinets waiting to be organized, a new story about to begin. A story he didn’t even know he had started many years ago.
Now his mission is clear: To answer the questions. To listen–taking the time to hear what is often left unspoken. To join the story of seniors and their families as they seek to remain in the comfort and security of home.
If you are experiencing an unexpected twist in your story, we understand, and we want to be by your side every step of the way. Preferred Care at Home of Virginia Beach is committed to taking the time to listen, answering the questions, and providing superior care. Give us a call today at 757-355-5080.
