A home is where lives are built, memories are made, and it’s the one place that offers a significant level of comfort unlike any place else in a person’s life. This truth forms the foundation of 5 Star Home Care.
Five Star owners Kenny and Melissa Higdon help keep clients in their homes.The state-licensed home care provider offers non-medical personal care, assistance and companionship for clients to help them maintain their independence and be able to stay in their homes. Services offered include everything from meal preparation and errand running to laundry and personal care.
“Home: there’s no place quite like it,” said Kenny Higdon, president of 5 Star, of the company’s slogan. “That’s the main reason why people choose us. No place offers comfort more than your own home.”
Care levels range from having someone in the home for minor assistance and companionship a few hours a week to 24/7 care. 5 Star also has caregivers qualified to help clients with Alzheimer’s, dementia and Parkinson’s disease. Care plans are customized and tailored to each client’s needs, said Higdon. Continuous care is provided in any situation to maintain quality companionship and build solid relationships between clients and caregivers.
“We are a family-owned business. so we know how important family is,” Higdon said. “I started 5 Star Home Care in 2007 after seeing the challenge my mom had when she was trying to find someone to help care for my grandmother. My mother wanted to find someone caring, honest and who would be gentle with my grandmother. She found there was no agency that could offer what she needed, so she decided to provide the care herself. I remember wishing there was a company my mother could call on so she could get out and enjoy her own life.
