Who We Are
Adaria Duarte entered the home care field over 11 years ago, when not only realizing after battling her own health issues most of her life just how important Caregivers are, but also coming to the understanding that sometimes, family just needs to be family. This led her to start Family Care Services, Inc.
When people ask her what exactly it is that "they do", she says, “I can’t help but smile and think...what don't we do?” The Family Care Services Family provides Home Care and assistance to Seniors, New/Expecting Moms and Families and Working Parents, those requiring recuperative care, and anyone needing continuing care due to illness, injury, special need, or lifelong challenge. From companion care and errands and doctor's appointments, to transportation services, household management and providing assistance with all personal care needs and activities of daily living (ADL's), or simply providing a hand to hold during those moments where you feel like your world is falling apart, there is very little that they don't do.
While most companies focus their time on fitting into the cookie cutter mold that is the Home Care industry, Adaria says, “Our Family at Family Care Services, dedicates our time to breaking the mold, knowing that no two people are alike, and therefore, no two problems or reasons for needing care are alike. Because of that, no person and no Family can be approached the same, rather require Situational Consultations and Assessments that will allow for a Custom and Individualized Plan of Care. For some, asking for help can be slightly uncomfortable, or even relatively easy, while for others, it is nothing short of devastatingly soul crushing and goes against everything they have ever known and all that they ever stood for…preserving one’s independence and dignity are two of those most common principles.” She explains that when you create a company, when you build a Family from the ground up of like-minded individuals that all share the same philosophies, that are all compassionate, sympathetic and more importantly empathetic people because they understand what it is like to walk in similar shoes, it is then that you have the ability to provide some light at the end of what can be a seemingly dark tunnel.
With Adaria having been in the shoes of her patients, past, present, and future, she truly understands how nerve-wracking the care process can be, especially when it comes to allowing a stranger to come into their homes and the homes of their loved ones. That is why as she has been creating this Company, as they have been bringing Caregivers and other Staff members into their family, they are critical to ensure that they are all individuals that Adaria would not only trust to take care of her loved ones, but also, are people that she would want caring for her.
It is Adaria’s goal to not only make the care process easier for their families, but also, to serve as a resource to their clients, past, present and future, as well as their community. “Whether it is answering questions, giving advice, or just being that support that is needed and so often lacking during trying times...we are here.
