Meet Owner Debra Prince
The people behind our home care
PROPELLING LIVES FORWARD
SYNERGY HomeCare in San Rafael is led by Debra Prince, a former assisted living professional whose personal caregiving experience inspired her to help other families navigate the aging process. After balancing the care of two loved ones with the demands of her professional responsibilities, Debra realized that she could bring together her personal caregiving expertise and her passion for serving older adults by providing families with reliable, in-home care solutions.
Debra and her team of caregivers assist residents throughout San Rafael, Greenbrae, Belvedere Tiburon, Corte Madera, Larkspur, Ross, San Anselmo, San Quentin, Mill Valley, and Sausalito with a range of services, including companion care, personalized in-home assistance, and specialized support for individuals managing chronic health conditions or recovering from illness or surgery.
Although Debra became familiar with the concept of home care through her time working in assisted living facilities, it was her at-home experience with her two loved ones that truly gave her an appreciation for the field. Debra struggled to balance her personal and professional caregiving responsibilities, largely because she was unaware of the full capabilities of in-home care. Upon realizing the level of personalization available with home care, she decided to become an advocate.
SYNERGY HomeCare in San Rafael provides a wide range of non-medical care options. Companion care includes assistance with cooking, shopping, running errands, light housekeeping, and other tasks that allow clients to live independently. Personal care assists with bathing, dressing, using the toilet, and other activities of daily life.
Debra Prince | Owner
Before opening SYNERGY HomeCare in San Rafael, Debra’s daily life already centered around serving others. With an associate degree in Health Information Management, Debra began working in assisted living, where she discovered how deeply she enjoyed working with older adults. She regularly developed close relationships with residents and found fulfillment in helping them navigate their daily lives.
Debra has also spent several years working as a tour guide at some of Northern California’s biggest destinations, including Yosemite National Park and Napa and Sonoma wine country. Through both experiences, Debra has been able to pursue her passion for creating welcoming, memorable experiences.
