Kenny Higdon remembers the day his mother was forced to make the difficult decision to become his grandmother’s caregiver. The choice came at great personal expense.
“I started a home care company in 2007 after seeing the challenge my mom had when trying to find someone caring and honest who would be gentle with my grandmother,” said Higdon, now the president of 5 Star Home Care.
His mother had no alternative because she wasn’t able to find someone with whom she felt comfortable. That’s why Higdon bases his company on the commitment to treat clients with the same respect and compassion his family wanted someone to show his own grandmother.
