On the Cover: Catching Up with Sacred Private Home Care

By Kristen Eleveld

Since 2013, Sacred Private Home Care has offered the community a service it desperately needs: specialized health solutions for our aging or ailing loved ones who need some personalized care in their own homes. Sacred Private Home Care, founded and led by owner Shae Sankofa, utilizes a thorough system of establishing needs and getting to know clients in order to offer customized care. If you’re looking for help for three weeks, three months, or three years, it’s all a “yes” from Sacred Private Home Care.

“We bring a personalized approach that is uniquely prepared for the individual needs of our families, in which we also allow our families to be a part of the selection process for choosing the best fit for their needs,” said Shae. “Our families truly do become a part of our family at Sacred Private Home Care.”

This detail-oriented mindset is one of many qualities that draws caregivers and patients alike to Sacred Private Home Care. Not only does Shae want each family to feel comfortable and confident in their assigned caregiver, she wants to give the caregivers the opportunity to make sure they feel the fit is right, too. That’s why every client and caregiver get the chance to meet before they commit to any kind of service, allowing them to know with whom they will potentially spend every day with. Shae always assigns her caregivers to fit each family’s unique needs, and while she is always happy to make a change, she often finds that the caregiving team member she chooses for a family is exactly what they need.

Though Sacred Private Home Care has consistently offered excellent home care for the past ten years, they are not done making a difference in the community. Going forward, Shae and her team are looking to expand their services in order to reach as many people who need home health care as possible. But one thing that will never change is Shae’s desire to ensure that they are able to tailor home health care plans to each individual client – there is no “one size fits all” policy at Sacred Private Home Care. To that end, Shae has also partnered with outside resources to provide her team and caregivers with additional education that will help them give each client what they need.

“If there is a family member with dementia, for example, we provide a personalized plan of care and ensure that their chosen caregiver is wellequipped and educated in the area of dementia,” explained Shae. “Or, if this was the case for a family with Parkinson’s, or battling another specific illness, we offer the same approach.”

If you’re not sure whether home health care is the right step for you or for a loved one, that’s okay. Shae and her team are standing ready to help. With their years of experience combined with their passion for giving
