The people behind our non-medical home care
PROPELLING LIVES FORWARD
If you’ve been searching for a non-medical home care agency for your care or your loved one’s care, then you know there is a sea of sameness in the dozens of home care choices, making it difficult to actually choose one. And we know that can be frustrating.
The agency is owned by Eric Seitter and Theresa Jakubowski. Seitter’s background is in aerospace engineering; he has two decades of experience in manufacturing, mostly as a design engineer. Jakubowski has extensive experience in healthcare and previously worked as an occupational therapist and in pharmaceutical sales.
SYNERGY HomeCare of Cheshire provides clients with a wide variety of non-medical care options, from companion care and personal care to specialized care for people with chronic health conditions or recovering from illness or surgery, as well as hospice care.
Seitter and Jakubowski both saw a growing need in their community for these services, particularly among Baby Boomers. Connecticut has a growing demographic of older adults and a high population density, ranking 4th in the country.
“Eric and I were drawn to home care because it makes a direct, tangible benefit to the people we serve, particularly the aging population, by helping them continue to be happy and safe in their own home as opposed to going to an assisted living facility,” said Jakubowski.
“I remember how stressful it was for my mother and her siblings trying to make sure my grandmother with dementia and grandfather who was her primary caregiver received the care and help they needed as they lost their ability to care for themselves,” said Seitter.”
SYNERGY HomeCare of Cheshire’s main focus of in-home care is for older people who need some assistance in their homes to maintain their confidence and independence.
Seitter and Jakubowski report that the majority of their clients lack a local support system and rely on caregivers for assistance cooking, shopping, running errands, light housekeeping or going for walks. Some even require personal care such as help bathing, dressing or using the toilet.
“Distance should not keep adult children from being in tune with their aging loved ones to help them maintain their quality of life while aging in place, something that can be accomplished through local in-home care,” Seitter explained.
They give their wholehearted support for full, dignified and joyful lives. Whether you’re a senior needing a hand now and then, someone who’s dealing with disability or disease, or a family caregiver looking for both relief and peace of mind, we’re there to care with whole hearts and open arms.
