New Home Helpers and Direct Link Business Serves Greater Jacksonville

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. - Feb. 16, 2016 - PRLog -- Ron Poindexter knows that sometimes seniors just need a little extra help to age comfortably in their own homes – and he’s looking forward to providing assistance through his new business, Home Helpers and Direct Link Jacksonville.

Home Helpers is the nation’s leading franchise specializing in comprehensive home care for seniors, new mothers and individuals needing recuperative and continuing assistance. Direct Link is its proprietary line of 24/7 medical alert systems, including a fall sensor and an automated medication dispenser. Home Helpers and Direct Link of Jacksonville serves Neptune Beach, Atlantic Beach, Jacksonville Beach, Ponte Vedra Beach and all of Greater Jacksonville.

Home Helpers and Direct Link offers homemaker and companion services such as respite care, meal preparation, laundry, light housekeeping, companionship and transportation. Home Helpers and Direct Link offers free in-home consultations and works with each client to create a flexible, affordable care plan based on a person’s individual needs.

With Home Helpers, each individual client receives services tailored to meet their specific needs by caregivers who become an extension of their family. Home Helpers’ full-range of home care services empower clients to live healthier and more rewarding lives in the privacy, safety and comfort of their own homes.

“I wanted to get into a business that helps people. Home Helpers is great because it makes a difference for not only the client, but also the family. Knowing I’ll be making lives better is extremely rewarding,” Poindexter said.

Prior to opening Home Helpers, Poindexter was a corporate banker for more than 30 years for companies including Bank of America, Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac, the US Treasury Department and, most recently, PNC Bank, working as a retail branch manager, loan officer and senior executive in charge of mortgage servicing.

“After being downsized three times I decided to leave corporate America and venture out on my own. After researching all types of franchises, I discovered Home Helpers. I chose Home Helpers because the senior market is rapidly expanding, the business truly makes a difference in people’s lives and Home Helpers is an industry leader in the senior care business,” Poindexter said.

In addition to the facts, Poindexter – who has lived in the Jacksonville area for more than 20 years – was inspired to offer a better senior care option through his neighbors and family.

“I have older neighbors who are in their twilight years and I can see that their needs are changing as they get age. They don’t want help and they don’t want to leave their homes, but could use some of the services Home Helpers offers. Then, when I was in the process of deciding on Home Helpers, my mom suffered a series of strokes and needed exactly the kind of care we offer. It felt like a sign from above,” Poindexter said.
