What is the mission of your business?
Our mission is to improve
people's lives, and that is what we do every day by helping people
live in their homes for as long as possible. No matter a person's age
or condition, we can put a plan together to keep them where they
want to be for as long as possible.
What is the most gratifying part of your job? Knowing that we help
people and seeing how our efforts help families remain families. With
our help, family members don't have to become caregivers, which
allows them to spend more quality time with their loved ones.
What is the best business advice you've ever received? A fellow small
business owner and a friend Andy Mealor told me, "things are never
as bad as they seem and things are never as good as they seem." As
a small business owner, we get excited when things are going well
and down when things aren't. Many times, our emotions flow with our
business' performance. Andy's advice helps me take a step back and
evaluate the big picture.
What is the most common question you receive? The most common
question we get is about who pays for our services. To answer,
payment options include Private Pay, Medicaid, Veterans Affairs,
Medicare Advantage plans and long-term-care insurance. The truth
is, the answer is not simple and is different for each person. We pride
ourselves in helping clients examine every avenue in deciding which
payment options they are eligible for.
What makes you a strong leader? If I had to put my finger on a
characteristic that defines me as a leader, I would have to say that I
am fair. I always try to find solutions that benefit all involved.
