Episode 2: Taking Care of Seniors In Ponte Vedra Florida

Season 1

About This Episode

Justin Vickers spent nearly 20 years as a certified paramedic, where he saw firsthand how many seniors needed help at home — help that could have prevented the falls and emergencies he was responding to. That experience led him to open his first home care agency in North Carolina, then move back to Jacksonville to be closer to his own aging parents. Now four years in, Dawn Home Care provides companion, personal, and skilled care across Jacksonville, Duval County, St. Johns County, and Nassau County.

In this episode, we talk with Justin Vickers, Owner of Dawn Home Care about how Justin got started, what drives the business, and what sets Dawn Home Care apart.

Notable Quotes

“I saw a lot of people during that period when I was practicing that could use some help at home — and some help at home for them would have prevented a lot of bad outcomes that we were there dealing with.” “Once you get a good caregiver to client match and they start spending time with each other, they become friends and even like family.” “We really focus on finding people that have a passion for what they’re doing. They’re not just here to earn a paycheck.” “We moved back to Jacksonville, Florida, to be around our own aging parents in their journey.”
