Senior Wellness Care where you need it most!

Andrew was born to be of service to others. It is something that is deeply  ingrained in him.  He has been developing his healthcare support  skills throughout his life. Andrew has provided  aid  to  his  own  mother  from  a  very  young  age who  suffered from  a  chronic and  debilitating illness.  Always  wanting  to  help  her, he  learned  how to provide her with healthcare support.  

He  began  his  career  in  assisting  the  elderly  right  after  high  school  graduation  at  the  age  of  sixteen  as  a  Therapeutic  Recreation  Assistant  and  has  gained  experience  over  the  following  several  years  while  working  in  this  role  at  various  long-term  facilities. While in college, Andrew assisted several  of  his grandparents in various ways to  thrive  and  to  smoothly  transition  through  the  aging  process  all  the  way  up to their passing. 

Andrew  graduated  in  2012  with  a  Bachelor’s degree with  honors  in  several  disciplines  including  arts,  music  and  entrepreneurial studies.  With his  many  talents  and  skills,  he  found  himself  in  high  demand  immediately  following  graduation and  secured  full-time  work for  himself in the home healthcare industry.  By providing his unique  blend of  healthcare  assistance to vulnerable seniors  and  disabled  persons  who  were  often  at  risk  for  illness  due  to  isolation,  he  helped  his  clients  to  stabilize  and  thrive  once  again.  He  developed  a  stellar  reputation  for  dedicated  service  and  devotion,  to  which various families inquired  about  him  and  approached  him  seeking care for their loved ones at home. From dementia care  to safety  for  clients  with  audio  and  visual  deficits,  each  newly  acquired  skill has enhanced his ability to provide  personalized  support for future clientele.  He later took great interest  in training  and developing  his  own  canine  partners to  join  him  in  his  mission  to  offer  animal  assisted  therapies  to  further  enhance  his  clients’  experiences.  Even  throughout  the  COVID-19  pandemic,  Andrew remained  steadfast  and  vigilant to the  individuals  in  his  care,  while keeping  himself  and  his  clients  safe  and  engaged  without  missing  a  beat.

Most  recently,  Andrew  has  completed  a  specialized  two -year  program  in  occupational  therapy  to  further  aid  in  his  client’s recovery  from  injuries  and  illness,  and to help  them overcome  any  barrier  they  may  face  to  achieve  their  wellness  goals.  He  graduated  Summa  Cum  Laude  from  this  intense  training  in  May  of  2023.  He  holds  a  certification  in  dementia  care,  Basic  Life  Support /CPR  and  First  Aid  certification  for  Healthcare  Providers  and  is  certified  as  a  “Safe  Zone “  provider  for  all  gender  affirming  clientele.  He  is  proud  of  his  many  accomplishments  in  his  field  and  is  poised  to  continue  learning to  benefit his  clients. It  is  with  these advancements  in  his  career  that  he  can  offer  a  unique  blend  of  customized healthcare support both at home and inside healthcare facilities as never  been  offered  before.  He  has truly revolutionized  the  senior  care  industry. 

Andrew  has  many  interests  outside  of  his  fulfilling  work  in  healthcare.  He  is  a  passionate  cook,  often  preparing  and  sharing  dishes  from  his  Italian/sicilian heritage,  he  believes in  his  familial  mantra  that  “food  is  love”  and  he  enjoys  feeding  those  in  his  care  and  in  his  personal circles.  He  enjoys  dancing  with  a  partner,  having  taken  many  lessons  over  the  years in  swing/Lindy  hop,  ballroom and  country/western  couples  dancing.  Enjoying  the  outdoors,  he  enjoys  camping and  being   Immersed  nature  often  whether  it’s  the mountains,  woods  or  seashore. Andrew co-organizes social  activities  within  his  local  Meetup  group  which has  blessed  him  with  many  friends  from  all  walks of life,  and  he  cherishes  spending  quality  time visiting  with  his  good  friends  and  close  family,  especially  over  the  holidays.  Andrew  rides  a  motorcycle  and  enjoys riding  the  scenic coastal backroads of  the  South  Shore  and  beyond  with  his  friends  when  possible.  His  core  family  consists  of  two  canine  fur kids:   “Rocco”,  a  Registered  Therapy  Dog  who  is  his  current  work  partner  and  “Luna”  who  is  currently  in  training  for  therapy  dog  service  work.
