“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)

Serving America and our community
By Dr. David RiceSouthwest Florida is home to more than 100,000 veterans, according to the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs.They own homes, manage businesses and pay taxes here. They volunteer at local nonprofits and donate to local causes. They are the core of our community.Nearly every day, at least one veteran walks into Advocate Radiation Oncology for treatment. Cancer impacts people from every background, including veterans. Even the most hardened veterans struggle with a cancer diagnosis, which is understandable; no one is invincible and cancer generates a wave of emotions shock, anxiety, frustration, fear and stress.Over the years, veterans in Charlotte and Sarasota counties have found an ally inside the treatment room Dr. Brian Lawenda. A board-certified, Harvard-trained physician who completed medical school at Temple University, Lawenda has all the credentials to help a patient feel confident that they're in good hands, medically speaking. Then they find out something else about their physician. He is a veteran, too, having served this country 13 years with the U.S. Navy and attaining the rank of commander."When I enlisted, I took an oath to serve this country and uphold the U.S. Constitution," Lawenda said. "When I became a doctor, I pledged to dedicate my practice to patients and the community I serve, and it's especially gratifying when those patients are fellow veterans."The best doctors don't just treat symptoms; they connect with patients, usually through shared experiences they're from the same state, cheer for the same sports team or attended the same university. Lawenda's military experience helps create an instant doctor-patient bond that continues during treatment and beyond. In fact, Lawenda has become the region's go-to radiation oncologist for veterans, not just Navy veterans, but those who have admirably served across all six branches of the military."When he told me he served in the Navy, it gave me comfort," said Ret. Command Master Chief Scott Fusco, a North Port resident who recently completed prostate cancer treatments at Advocate. "I had absolute trust in him from that point on."Lawenda wasn't the only veteran on Fusco's care team, either. His urologist also served in the Navy and referred Fusco to Dr. Lawenda for treatment."We served at different times and places, but we're all part of the same team," Fusco said. "They've been there, done that, just like me. There is instant respect, instant trust."Lawenda, who sees patients at Advocate's cancer treatment centers in Port Charlotte and Venice, specializes in the treatment of prostate, lung, breast, head and neck, rectal, liver, bone, cervical and other types of cancers. Although Lawenda doesn't technically specialize in the treatment of veterans, he is especially proud to support patients like Fusco on their cancer journey."A veteran may retire or end their military service, but he or she will never stop serving this country and their community," Lawenda said. "Being able to help local veterans beat cancer is extremely gratifying and certainly rewarding. The military is a brotherhood and a sisterhood, and I'll continue fighting for my brothers and sisters."About the AuthorDr. David Rice is a board-certified radiation oncologist who sees patients through Advocate Radiation Oncologys cancer treatment centers in Port Charlotte and Venice.
