“First class service and care! Outstanding communication. Level of care was 11 on a scale of 1-10.” (FL)
“I cannot begin to thank you enough for the incredible staffing you provided for us for my disabled daughter for her sister’s wedding weekend. Colette and Cindy were over the top amazing. Sensitive, caring, loving professional, wise, attentive. I can’t even come up with enough adjectives to describe them. I want to thank you for “getting it” from the very beginning, you understood what was needed even more than I knew. Thank you, thank you I’m so grateful to have you and your agency on speed dial.” (PA)
“My plastic surgeon recommended SKR’s services for a few days after my surgery and I am so glad they did. SKR went above and beyond for me both pre and post op. I am so lucky to have found them.” (PA)
“My mother (age 92) was visiting us here in Naples and broke her vertebrae. After her hospitalization at NCH she needed around the clock care before returning home for further treatment. I saw many positive reviews on SKR Home & Healthcare’s website and called. They were wonderfully responsive, professional and caring and lined up help on the all the days we requested. The caregivers we received were warm, caring and took great care of my mother. We will definitely use them again, if needed, and refer others to them. Thank you SKR for your great help.” (FL)
“SKR’s excellent nurses took me home from my first elective surgery – from arranging a car service to meet me at the discharge with one of their lovely nurses who stayed with me for the first 48 hours to assist me with my drains and going to the bathroom…to bringing be back to my post-op appointment…it was nothing short of excellent, around the clock care” (PA)
“SKR aides have provided excellent round-the-clock care for my mother since 2013. They help above and beyond their assigned duties, coordinating both personal care and communication with the assisted living staff. During the Philadelphia papal visit, they ensured seamless continuity of care and turned a potentially major disruption into a non-event!” (PA)
“SKR is an amazing Heath Care Company based in Naples Florida. My husband is very ill and I am his sole caregiver. I needed someone I could trust to be with him once a week for 6 hours so I could run errands and have some time to recharge. SKR came highly recommended by a friend. I found the staff at SKR to be caring, helpful and knowledgeable. Everyone from the President to the Aides are there to meet your every need. I trust them with my husbands care 100%. If you are looking for help caring for a loved one, do not hesitate to give them a call.” (FL)
“Our family used SKR for my mom’s care for almost 5 years until her death at age 97 in July,2018. In the beginning we only needed assistance with a few daily tasks for just a few hours a week. But over time our requirements gradually increased until mom needed full time round the clock care since she had lost her vision and a good deal of her mobility. We never, ever, thought about using a different agency. SKR addressed each challenge as it arose. The team did a superb job of caring for mom- they worked so well with each other and communicated daily with staff at Atria and also with the family. They also did a great job of anticipating upcoming requirements so that we could be prepared to meet mom’s needs as she aged. All of the caretakers were highly skilled and so engaged with mom- they were her pals! and they became part of the family as well.” (PA)
“My mom continues to be delighted with our caregiver and we feel so lucky to have her.” (PA)
“On behalf of my entire family, I can’t tell you how grateful we are for the support you gave us during my dad’s final months. Your service was remarkable. It was a huge relief to know we had such kind and capable support for both my parents. I can’t thank you enough.” (PA)
“Susan and her team worked hours to secure home care for a relative. Susan has been responsive, honest, and hand on throughout this event. I could not have done everything she and her team did from 1500 miles away. Her nursing team is top notch. I would recommend SKR whole heartedly.” (FL)
“Thanks for your help. Your staff is excellent. It was a great relief to know Mom had assistance. Having the aides also served as a very positive introduction to having a live-in aide.” (PA)
“My mother has advanced dementia, and yet her quality of life is amazing because of the exceptional care and love she receives from her aide. SKR has an incredible team of caregivers – I don’t know how I could manage without them.” (PA)
“We have been utilizing SKR’s services for over nine months for my father whose health is deteriorating. SKR allowed us to try multiple caregivers until we found ones who best met our needs and satisfied my father. We now have a team in place that is excellent and addresses my father’s needs without being intrusive. The administrative staff is proactive, not just reactive.” (PA)
“Papal week was an exciting time at the Atria Senior Living facility in Philadelphia. The checkpoint was right outside the building and the crowds were enormous. SKR’s ability to manage through the staffing, transportation and scheduling challenges were noteworthy. It turned out to be a very fun weekend!” (PA)
“Absolutely fantastic!! Susan and the SKR Team were responsive, professional and went out of their way to meet our needs. The nurses are the best of the best, SKR placed the A-Team with our family within 24 hours of contacting them. We are so grateful we found Susan and the entire SKR team!!” (FL)
“SKR has provided round-the-clock personal care aides for both my mother-in-law and my mother during the last three years. Coverage has been seamless at all times without any crises or disruptions of any kind, even in extraordinary circumstances. I strongly recommend SKR to anyone who needs personal care assistance.” (PA)
Every independent living, assisted living, and memory care community has experienced it.A prospective resident and their family tour your community. They love the apartment. They are emotionally ready to make the move.Then comes the sentence that changes everything:"We have to sell the house first."Suddenly, what seemed like a straightforward move becomes filled with uncertainty.How long will it take to sell?How much will they actually receive?Will the buyer's financing fall through?Will repairs be required?Will inspections uncover expensive issues?Will the move be delayed for months?Unfortunately, these unknowns often result in families postponing their decision. Some decide to "wait until next year." Others choose another community with different availability. Sometimes a health event forces an emergency move that could have been avoided with better planning.In many cases, everyone loses.The family experiences unnecessary stress.The senior delays the next chapter of their life.And your community may lose a future resident.The Home Is Often the Biggest ObstacleFor many seniors, the home represents decades of memoriesbut it is also the largest financial asset they own.Many families simply cannot commit to a move until they know:When the home will sellHow much they will receiveWhether repairs will be necessaryWhen they will have access to the proceedsWithout those answers, planning becomes difficult.That's where we help.Did You Know?Many prospective residents delay moving into an independent living or assisted living community simply because they are uncertain about selling their home.In many cases, one conversation with an experienced real estate professional can eliminate that uncertainty and give families the confidence to move forward.One call gives families two professional options:A fast, guaranteed cash offer through Sarasota Cash Home BuyersA traditional MLS listing through Jeff Nemeth Real EstateThere is no obligation and no pressure - just honest guidance to help families choose the solution that best fits their goals, timeline, and financial needs.One Contact. Two Professional Solutions.Unlike most companies, we can provide both of the primary options available to homeowners.Our goal isn't to convince someone to choose one path over the other.Our goal is to help families choose the solution that best fits their situation.Solution One: Sarasota Cash Home BuyersSome families need certainty.Perhaps Mom needs to move within a few weeks.Perhaps Dad has already moved into assisted living.Perhaps the family lives out of state.Perhaps the home needs extensive repairs.Perhaps maintaining the property has become overwhelming.A direct cash purchase often removes nearly every obstacle.Benefits include:Sell completely as-isNo repairsNo cleaningNo paintingNo stagingNo open housesNo repeated showingsNo financing contingenciesNo appraisal concernsNo commissionsNo waiting for a buyer to qualify for financingChoose the closing date that works with the move-in scheduleGreater certainty throughout the entire processInstead of wondering whether the house will sell, families know exactly when the transaction will close.That certainty often makes scheduling a move into your community much easier.Solution Two: Jeff Nemeth Real EstateSometimes, selling through the Multiple Listing Service (MLS) is the better option.Every family's goals are different.If maximizing the sale price is the highest priority and the family has flexibility with timing, a traditional listing may produce the best overall outcome.With nearly two decades as a licensed Realtor and hundreds of successful real estate transactions, Jeff Nemeth helps families understand the advantages and trade-offs of listing their home traditionally.Our philosophy is simple:Recommend what's best for the clientnot what's best for us.That means families receive honest advice about both options before making any decisions.Why This Matters to Senior Living CommunitiesWhen a family delays selling a home, the move into your community is often delayed as well.Those delays can affect:OccupancyMove-in timelinesApartment availabilitySales forecastingFamily confidenceResident planningHaving a trusted housing resource available early in the conversation can eliminate many of these roadblocks before they become major problems.Even if a family ultimately chooses to list the property rather than accept a cash offer, they now have a clear roadmap and realistic expectations.Knowledge reduces uncertainty.And reduced uncertainty helps families move forward.We Become Part of Your TeamWe regularly work alongside:Independent Living communitiesAssisted Living communitiesMemory Care communitiesContinuing Care Retirement Communities (CCRCs)Senior placement agenciesSenior move managersEstate planning attorneysElder law attorneysProbate attorneysTrust officersFinancial advisorsGuardiansHome health agenciesHospice providersProfessional organizersSenior relocation companiesOur role is simple:Help families solve the housing piece of the transition.When that obstacle is removed, everyone benefits.One Contact.

Moving a parent to senior living is rarely just a move. It is an emotional transitionfor the older adult, the family, and often the person making the decision.Families may feel guilt, sadness, fear, relief, and even uncertaintysometimes all in the same day.A daughter may think, Am I doing the right thing?A son may wonder, Will Mom think Im abandoning her?And a parent may be thinking, Am I losing my independence?These emotions are normal.As senior living leaders, our responsibility goes beyond providing a safe apartment, meals, activities, and care. We have to care for the emotional journey that comes with the transition.Its not about taking independence away.Its about helping redefine what independence looks like.Sometimes independence means no longer worrying about cooking, cleaning, medication management, or being alone. It means having people nearby, opportunities to socialize, and support when it is neededwhile still having choices about how each day is lived.Families need reassurance, not judgment.The decision to move a parent is often made after monthsor yearsof difficult conversations, falls, sleepless nights, increasing care needs, or simply realizing that living alone isnt working anymore.Families dont need someone to make them feel guilty.They need someone to say:Youre not failing your parent. Youre helping create a safer, more supported chapter of their life.The first days matter.A successful transition isnt just about getting someone moved in.The process starts before they move in. Person Centered Selling truly makes a difference from an average senior living to a fantastic senior living. It is about learning who they are.What makes them smile?What did they do for a living?What music do they enjoy?What foods do they love?Who are the important people in their life?What makes them feel comfortable?When we know the person behind the resident, we can begin creating a sense of belonging, not just care. And sometimes the greatest measure of success isnt the beautiful apartment or the activity calendar.Its when a family member says:I havent seen Mom this happy in a long time. That is priceless! That is when we know the transition is becoming a new beginning.From a senior living leaders perspectiveI have learned that families arent simply looking for a place for Mom or Dad.They are looking for peace of mind.They want to know their loved one is safe.They want to know someone will notice when something isnt right.They want their parent to have friends.They want to be a daughter or son againnot a full-time caregiver.And most importantly, they want to know:Will you love and care for my parent when I cant be there?That is the promise behind great senior living like Springwood Court. Because at the end of the day, we arent just helping someone move into a community.Were helping a family move into a new chapter and season of their life, one filled with support, connection, dignity and love.Fran Gray RNExecutive Director Springwood CourtAssisted Living12780 Kenwood LaneFort Myers, FL33907239-278-0078
