I would like to introduce myself and my family. I am Michael Savoie, and with my mom, Camille, and my sister Robin, we own Executive Home Care.
We began our journey as business owners together in the community, way back in 1987. We owned two restaurants for 27 years, before becoming owners of Executive Home Care in 2014.
Why the transition, you may ask? We lost several close family members in a short period of time. This included my dad at 55 years old. My mom was not only a caregiver for other family members, but was my dad’s primary caregiver 24/7. My father had extreme anxiety and did not sleep much. He was in constant motion. He was a very strong man, tall and proud. Near the end of his illness he weighed less than 100 pounds. We would take turns helping him pace around the house. It was emotionally and physically exhausting.
When he was in the hospital they wanted to restrain him, because he wouldn’t stay still. My mother would not allow this, so she would lie by his side day and night for his safety and comfort right up until his last breath.
My mother is a hero to my sister and I. She would always mention to us that we should consider a transition to the home care industry to help others. She knew that Robin and I were full of compassion, and loved seniors. This in itself would make it a much easier transition.
So, after 27 years in the restaurant industry, we purchased and opened Executive Home Care, which is a part of a small franchise. It is certainly a decision that we have not regretted. In fact, we wish we had done it sooner. Unfortunately, our decision was primarily decided, due to so much suffering and pain. We are very happy with our decision, and we want to make a difference and we have!
Sincerely,
Michael Savoie
