Trusted Memory Care in Jacksonville, FL
At Almost Home Senior Services, we have dedicated ourselves to transforming the landscape of senior care in Jacksonville, Florida, since 1992. Founded by Jamie Glavich, a certified dementia care practitioner with over three decades of hands-on experience, our organization was born from personal necessity when traditional care options failed to meet her mother's needs. Our expertise lies in creating personalized, relationship-centered care environments that address the unique challenges of Alzheimer's and memory impairment. We demonstrate authoritativeness through our specialized training programs, Best Friends certified Master Trainer status, and our role in shaping industry standards through state-certified Alzheimer's education.Trust is built through our transparent approach to care, evidenced by our consistent licensing compliance, community partnerships with healthcare providers, and the thousands of families we've supported through both our adult day care and assisted living programs. Our commitment to continuous improvement is reflected in our adaptive care models that evolve with residents' needs while maintaining the highest standards of safety and compassion.
