About SYNERGY HomeCare of Apollo Beach
SYNERGY HomeCare of Apollo Beach is owned and operated by Dr. Franshea Vandross, an ultimate entrepreneur, who splits her time between working as a pharmacist, business owner, and real estate agent. Now, Dr. Franshea is also adding caregiver to her already impressive résumé.
Dr. Franshea and her team of caregivers assist residents throughout Hillsborough County, including the communities of Apollo Beach, Fish Hawk, Lithia, Riverview, Sun City, and Wimauma 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.
Since graduating from Florida A&M University with a doctorate in pharmacy, Dr. Franshea has become comfortable wearing multiple hats and contributing to her community in several ways. She has spent the past 15 years working as a pharmacist, earning several certifications along the way. Eight years ago, she decided to purchase her own pharmacy and has since branched out to several other various healthcare ventures. When she isn’t handling these businesses, she also spends her time working as a licensed Florida real estate agent.
Amidst her hectic professional life, Dr. Franshea was also tasked with helping provide care for her father, Reverend Frank Steward, as his health began to decline. During the process, her father’s only request was to remain at home, and despite her family’s best efforts, they experienced several difficulties when trying to accommodate not only his wishes, but also their work-life balance. Although her father eventually passed, the experience inspired Dr. Franshea’s new passion to help others in the same position navigate the aging process with grace, dignity, and success.
SYNERGY HomeCare of Apollo Beach 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.
