In 2001, his family brought his father, a World War II veteran and prisoner of war survivor, home from the hospital with a terminal diagnosis. They didn&#8217;t know who to call or what to do next. His father passed away that same day, in the house he had been brought home to as a baby, and those unanswered questions never left Deck.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Nearly two decades later, that experience became a mission. Deck&#8217;s purpose is now clear: to answer the questions, to listen, and to join the story of elderly people and their families as they seek to remain in the comfort and security of home. Virginia Beach is a deeply veteran community, and Deck takes that responsibility personally. Preferred Care at Home of Virginia Beach is contracted directly with the VA and is proud to serve veterans and their families across Hampton Roads with experienced, compassionate caregivers who can be staffed quickly when families need help most.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-91a74ea elementor-hidden-desktop elementor-hidden-tablet elementor-hidden-mobile e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"91a74ea\" data-element_type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-3ea7276 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"3ea7276\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Owners Committed to Your Family<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-925e007 e-con-full e-flex e-con e-child\" data-id=\"925e007\" data-element_type=\"container\">\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-47e693d e-con-full e-flex e-con e-child\" data-id=\"47e693d\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-settings=\"{&quot;background_background&quot;:&quot;classic&quot;}\">\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-2dd8eff e-con-full e-flex e-con e-child\" data-id=\"2dd8eff\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-settings=\"{&quot;background_background&quot;:&quot;classic&quot;}\">\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-5a2d6c6 e-con-full e-flex e-con e-child\" data-id=\"5a2d6c6\" data-element_type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-f829f91 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"f829f91\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h4 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Quin Christensen<\/h4>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-74178fa elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"74178fa\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>Quin&#8217;s commitment to quality senior care grew from personal experience.
