CareHeartedly Offers Customized Home Care That Eases Social Isolation and Supports Health and Independence According to the Centers for Disease Control, social isolation and loneliness in older adults puts seniors at risk for serious medical conditions, including heart disease, stroke, dementia, depression and anxiety. To help ease social isolation that has been further exacerbated by the pandemic and to support seniors’ health and independence, CareHeartedly offers customized companion personal care and nonmedical in-home care, including virtual caregiving. Based in Hendersonville and providing services throughout Western North Carolina, CareHeartedly is a locally owned, independent provider that offers non-medical home care such as companionship, safety support, assistance with daily activities and more. During his time as a paramedic, CareHeartedly CoOwner Justin Vickers had a lot of interaction with older adults and witnessed first-hand the kinds of accidents that can happen in the home – insights that factored into his and his wife Co-Owner Meghan Vickers’ decision to open CareHeartedly. The CareHeartedly team includes seasoned nurses as well as a supervisor who specializes in infection control and another who is a licensed social worker for mental health issues. To ensure a reliable and trustworthy staff, all potential employees are interviewed in person before proceeding with the hiring process. Rigorous background checks are done on all management and caregiver staff.
