The mission statement of owner Kitt Crown-Boltz and her staff of more than 25 caregivers, companions and homemakers at ElderCare Services Unlimited is threefold. One, to provide an environment that encourages their clients to maintain interest in personal, social, professional and family activities. Two, to continue and possibly enhance their clients’ current lifestyles by providing non-medical, exclusive personal assistance and individual companionship. Three, to create peace-of-mind and safekeeping for their clients. Put simply, their goal is to keep your loved one safe, happy and healthy! “Truly, what else is important, as our mental, emotional and physical well-being are all intertwined to maintain balance in our lives,” Kitt reflects.

Kitt believes that her staff not only shares her same vision, but also her passion about being a caregiver in service to others. “It is as much of a vocation as it is an occupation for all of us, and my staff is doing more than I could have ever asked,” reveals Kitt. “It is heartwarming to see our clients active, stimulated and involved in their daily living. Keeping them ‘in the now’ and interested in their lives is a goal which is achieved through personal grooming, outings, games, music and more.” 

Before any services are performed by ElderCare, Kitt spends time gathering information about a client so she can be sure to match them up with the most suitable and compatible caregiver. Kitt proudly expresses that she gets it right 99.9 percent of the time, and adds, “We provide an unprecedented level of service and treat each client as family.”

There is a complete menu of services provided by ElderCare Services, either in your home or your current place of residence. Personal assistance, light housekeeping, transportation services, medication monitoring, meal planning and preparation, and one-on-one companionship are but a few available options.

Perhaps the best way to express just how special the services are from ElderCare is to include a testimonial. The following is provided by writer Charlie Huisking.

“When my mother was hospitalized with a broken hip last year, her medications caused her to become confused. She tried to get out of bed and remove her IV. Sarasota Memorial Hospital suggested I hire private duty care. They gave me a list of agencies, but when I started calling, I got mostly answering machines, and no returned calls. The few humans I did reach told me it was too late to get someone that day.”

“Then I heard the warm voice of Kitt at ElderCare Services, who calmly and compassionately told me that, of course, they could get someone to stay with my mom that night. We spoke for 15 minutes, and as I was about to hang up, I said, ‘Wait a minute, you haven’t asked for a credit card or anything. How do I pay you?’”

“Oh don’t worry, we’ll handle that later,” Kitt said. “This may not sound very professional, but the money isn’t the important thing.”

“I was so moved I wished I could reach through the phone and hug her. That night, I met Jean, the lovely woman who stayed with my mom and calmed her nerves as she held her hand until the sun came up. Since then, ElderCare has become a major and beneficial part of my mom’s life. She receives 24-hour companion care from ElderCare at her nursing home. The caregivers help bathe and feed her, and take her to activities in the home. They’ve even driven her to doctors’ appointments when I couldn’t make it. But more than that, Anna, Bridget, Barbara, Nancy and the rest of the ElderCare staff have become new friends to my mother. She eagerly awaits their arrival, and breaks into a smile when they walk through `` services have helped my mom live not only a longer life, but a much fuller, happier life.”

As the ElderCare Services logo states, “We have your key to piece of mind: Any door you want opened, we can do it.”
