Health and Wellness in the New Year: Scene Magazine
A PERSONAL STORY
Taking Care of Others
written by SUSANNE WISE
Many of us have a family member, a friend, or a spouse who is aging or who has aged. Somehow life suddenly creeps up on us and we notice a few more gray hairs or a few more aches and pains than usual. As one transitions through these stages, it is my daily goal to assist one through life’s phases bringing compassion and care to our community.
My team at Take Care Private Duty Home Health Care and Take Care Advisor continues to meet the ever growing needs of our older adult community who wish to age in place. Take Care has been a namesake in our community, and I am proud to tell the story of how I opened its doors 15 years ago. I defied the odds and opened the first Take Care office in 1995 with four employees, four phones, and a card table. However, the roots of the business go deeper. As I reveal a more personal story, you will see how my own family shaped my journey that led me to the heart of Take Care.
One needs a plan even though life may take you on a different path. My path led to an insurmountable loss in September 1976 when my father and two brothers were killed in a plane crash on their return to Coldwater, Michigan from a farm machinery expo in Minneapolis. Being in the plane that day was not unusual for my father-he was a farmer and took every opportunity to check on the land, keeping his eyes on things.
That same zest and zeal to oversee the business is something I understand firsthand. As soon as I could walk, he had me helping with our family business. He, too, worked seven days a week and loved every minute of it with endless energy. It was his passion and drive, day in and day out, that shaped his successful business and in turn has helped define who I am today.
In the fall of 1976, with my Registered Nurse license from Bronson Methodist Hospital School of Nursing in Kalamazoo, Michigan, I accepted a teaching position at Emory University in Atlanta. After the accident, I could no longer carry the weight of my family’s tragedy from a distance. I moved back to Kalamazoo, closer to my mother and sister. This time I clearly witnessed my mother’s intense focus and passion for nursing-she needed a distraction from some of life’s raw realities. She found solace and comfort in helping others and that exact passion and commitment is what helped shape my own nursing path and eventually led to my career in private duty home health care and geriatric care management.
FAMILY & BALANCING A CAREER
In 1982, as a family, we decided to venture to a warmer climate and made our home in Sarasota. My mother vacationed in Sarasota frequently, so the area was somewhat familiar to us. While Carl, my husband, focused on his commercial real estate career, I had the good fortune to stay at home with my three girls, 18 months apart in age. As soon as Whitney, my youngest daughter started preschool, I decided to re-launch my nursing career. Instantly, I was reminded of my mother’s ability to heal and comfort those around her and of my father’s entrepreneurial spirit and his sincere commitment to others. Happy with my work but still feeling unfinished, my inner passion and strengths led me to obtain my Master of Business Administration degree.
Carl continued to work during the day, while I took night shifts with a home health agency. In the mornings, once I had the girls off to school, I would study and prepare for my weekend classes in Tampa. Carl’s encouragement and my mother’s support helped me through those demanding times. My intense dedication to my master’s degree paved the way for the development of Take Care. Despite the late nights and shortened time with my family, my mother was always there to cheer me on. With family always my mother’s focus, she would spend six months in Sarasota and the other six months in Michigan near my sister. Even at age 86, she continued to travel back and forth. She sewed frequently, attended church regularly, volunteered at local hospitals, played Bridge every week with friends, and lovingly dedicated herself to her seven grandchildren and three great-grandchildren.
My mother, Ruth, in my eyes, never aged. She made a point to prepare her estate in the event of her death-though rarely did we talk about such topics. In 1990, just after Christmas dinner, as we washed and dried dishes together, I discussed with her the importance of establishing a plan in regard to her own health care. Acknowledging the aging process and initiating the conversations on how to handle various stages is not easy. However, it was important for me to assure my mother that she was an integral part in the decision-making process for her future well-being. We were both nurses, so as we talked she understood the need to be proactive and plan for her future. This plan allowed for options, which included her wish to age in place and receive care in her own home, buying a long-term care insurance policy, and securing Take Care Advisor’s geriatric care management component. Having this in place assured my mother that her wishes would be met.
I always anticipated and expected that my work in building Take Care would one day provide care for my mother. I imagined that Take Care caregivers would be able to help her, as they have helped thousands of older adults age independently in their own homes. One week prior to a trip to Florida, she passed away. The call I received from an Emergency Room physician in Coldwater still seems surreal. In an instant the thoughts flashed through my mind: not my mother. She was not ready. We were not ready.
However, in recognizing my loss, I see how my dedication to building the foundation of Take Care makes a difference in people’s lives. As one ages, it is important to have options and to have a plan. That is where I continue to be passionate and serious in my mission to provide older adults with compassionate care and opportunities to plan and control their future stages in life.
Living Up to Our Name
Take Care continues to be on the cutting edge of health care in our local communities, from the private duty home health care to the planning, guidance, and support of a nurse geriatric care manager. Our goal is to provide excellence in service.
Recently, I received a call from a woman who had just been diagnosed with Lou Gehrig’s disease. She confided in me that her family provided her with the emotional support, but they struggled with the actual planning of her future care. Take Care cared for her spouse two years ago, so she was confident in looking to us for a plan. Through Take Care Home Health and Take Care Advisor, an objective plan was developed where nurse geriatric care managers assessed her needs and listened to her wishes, and then formulated a plan alongside her. She wanted the assurance that when she reaches a stage in life where she no longer has the ability to direct her care, her needs and wishes will still be met. It is part of what we do.
Relationships have always been my top priority, and that is why I believe Take Care has been successful. And though Take Care is a business, the care of our clients is and always has been a personal focus. As one client’s son recently stated, “Take Care certainly lives up to its name in taking care of others.” Each client I visit has their own story, needs, and goals. I believe in personalization for and accountability to each client.
Our Foundation
With more than 500 employees and four locations stretching along the Gulf Coast from Boca Grande to Ellenton, our compassion and commitment continue. For more than 15 years, Take Care has provided excellence in care and service. This would not have been possible without the support of the dedicated and loyal team at Take Care.
Take Care is a community and family centered business. Two of my daughters have followed in my footsteps, and yet are defining their own paths with their own specialties. Courtney, my eldest, holds a Master of Science in Gerontology from the University of Southern California. She oversees and manages the day-to-day operations of Take Care Advisor, a nurse geriatric care management arm of Take Care. My middle daughter, Erika, obtained her Master of Arts in Publishing and Writing from Emerson College, and she manages the marketing and communications for all arms of the company. Their insight coupled with our creative, innovative, and dynamic staff will ensure that Take Care continues to develop and lead in the private duty home health care and geriatric care management fields.
This story extends far beyond my history and personal timeline. This is a story about a business that will continue to service the community through the generations with the solid principles of passion, integrity, and loyalty.

End-of-Life Care Discussions May Improve Quality of Life
Discussions of death and dying are not easy. It is an emotional journey, and there is no direct answer or explanation. Our whole focus at Take Care Private Duty Home Health Care is the specialization of quality, personal care, at any stage in life. We strive to be your advocate, to guide you through various situations, whether its simply guidance at home or helping a loved one who is dying.
Last night, on ABC Nightly News, Dr. Tim Johnson and a team of reporters delved into the topic of end-of-life care. While this is a personal conversation that is important to discuss among the patient and their physician and family members, we at Take Care still fully believe in importance of education and in the facilitation of health care and age-related conversations. We share this story, video, and report with you in hopes to broaden and enlighten a topic that may affect you, a friend, or a family member.
In the past, the medical field believed that discussing end-of-life care with a terminally ill patient would be traumatizing and unnecessarily upset a patient. However, Dr. Alexi Wright, an oncologist at Boston’s Dana-Farber Cancer Institute said patients who have the end-of-life care conversations with their physicians have better outcomes. Part of what this story conveys is the importance of having these difficult conversations and the direct result can be an improved end-of-life story for the patient as well as family members.
Wright said end-of-life conversations can present “a unique opportunity where patients can have better quality of life … and have better outcomes for their families.
“You know, we teach them a lot about side effects, we teach them a lot about risks and benefits of procedures, but we don’t teach them a lot about the things that really matter at the end of their lives,” she said.
We encourage you to watch the video or read the full story below for some insight into this topic.
End-Of-Life Care at Home Can Improve Quality of Life for Patients and Families
Though Difficult, Oncologist Recommends Discussing Treatment Options
By DR. TIM JOHNSON, JAMES WANG and JENNIFER METZ
Dec. 27, 2010
It’s one of the most difficult conversations a doctor can have with a patient — deciding how and where the terminally ill should best spend their final days.
“Physicians for a long time have believed these conversations would harm patients and they are difficult and upsetting,” Dr. Alexi Wright, an oncologist at Boston’s Dana-Farber Cancer Institute said. “Without any evidence that they improved care, I don’t think there was a real push to have these conversations.”
Wright, who has studied the impact of end-of-life discussions on patients’ treatment, has found that patients who have those conversations with their physicians had better outcomes. Those patients and their families were not more likely to be distressed at the news.
For one of Wright’s patients, 63-year-old Lois Riley, her end-of-life discussion was a conversation that ended with an agonizing decision — should she battle her cancer with aggressive chemotherapy with no assurance of prolonging her life, or undergo less intensive chemo that would allow her to spend quality time with her family.
Riley was living the life she always imagined when she received the news her disease would ultimately take her life: a loving marriage, a fulfilling job, and a family complete with three daughters and four grandchildren. She did not plan on the devastating diagnosis of terminal ovarian cancer.
“It made me angry, it made me sad,” she said. “I didn’t want to hear that, I wanted to hear that I was going to get strong and beat this.”
Deciding to change her treatment so she could continue living at home, Riley said, has impacted every facet of her life.
“I’ve tried to spend quality time with everyone. We do a little bit more of private moments,” she said.
The study determined that those who died in hospitals experienced more physical and psychological discomfort than those who died at home. According to a survey by the National Hospice and Palliatative Care Organization, 80 percent of terminally ill patients prefer to live out their last days at home as opposed to a hospital.
“Patients who died at home were less likely to die in pain. They had less psychological suffering and their loved ones saw that their overall quality of life was better,” Wright said.
End-of-Life Debate: What’s Best?
The families of patients also experienced increased psychological stress when their terminally ill loved ones died in a hospital setting. “Family members had a fivefold higher risk of developing post-traumatic stress disorder if their loved one died in the intensive care unit compared to at home,” Wright said.
Riley’s husband, Jim, said he thinks having his wife at home “has been a positive experience. It’s amazed me at her attitude and strength.”
Having these conversations early on, when family members and the patient can participate fully, is important, Wright said. “We often make lots of assumptions about what our mothers, brothers, or sisters think, and we’re often wrong.”
Robert Polanksy, who lost both his parents, can speak to the differences of watching a loved one die in a hospital and at home.
His father, after suffering a stroke, was taken to the intensive care unit. His doctors made every life-saving effort possible, Polanksy said, but his father slipped into a coma and required a respirator to breathe.
“Even if he did recover, the doctors indicated that he would not be able to function in any meaningful way and have no real quality of life, Polansky said. “We were quite confident from our knowledge of him as a person that he would not have wanted to live on a respirator.”
Polanksy’s mother died later, from endometrial cancer that required treatment that made her so sick and weak it greatly diminished her quality of life. She knew that her disease would eventually kill her, and wanted to live out her remaining days as best she could, so she made the decision to stop treatment and die at home.
“She struggled with giving up the chance of living longer, that was a big unknown and no one could know that. It was weighing a doubt against a certainty,” Polanksy said. “She could take all the rounds of chemotherapy and still die in a few months. But one thing was certain, had she continued with the chemotherapy, those next few months would have been misery.”
Wright said end-of-life conversations can present “a unique opportunity where patients can have better quality of life … and have better outcomes for their families.”
Polanksy agrees, and said his mother’s decision to die at home made coping with her death much easier for his siblings and the rest of the family.
“I can say with complete confidence that she completely maximized the quality of life during the days that she had remaining. And if we could all achieve that when we near the point of death in our own lives, that would be quite a success,” Polansky said.
Riley is putting off her own end-of-life decisions until they need to be addressed. In the meantime, she is focusing on living life and keeping an open dialogue with her doctor.
“We all have end of life eventually, so I expect that my quality of life that I treasure will be compromised at some point,” she said. “My life has been full of wonderful things, and I’d live to have a few more so while I’m still here, I’m going to do everything I can to really live.”
When the time comes, it is important for physicians to inform patients of their choices, Wright said.
“You know, we teach them a lot about side effects, we teach them a lot about risks and benefits of procedures, but we don’t teach them a lot about the things that really matter at the end of their lives,” she said.

Take Care's Transportation Takes A New Approach
Take Care Private Duty Home Health's owner and executive administrator Susanne Wise, RN, MBA listened to client's responses and reactions to the former Take Care Transport vans and took action. Previously, the Take Care Transport vehicle was a Dodge Sprinter van that clearly displayed its purpose and usage: wheelchair and stretcher transportation. This took away from the client's personal privacy.
"We've always been so proud of our vans. People always knew them," Susanne Wise told the Gulf Coast Business Review's Coffee Talk. "But it became clear to me that this was the wrong approach."
Take Care has replaced the white Dodge Sprinters covered with the corporate logos. Now a 2011 black Ford Transit Connect van takes the place and has a corporate marking so small Wise says you have to be right in front of the van to see it.
"It's very sleek and inconspicuous," said Susanne Wise.
Susanne Wise consistently and constantly anticipates clients needs, forecasts and looks toward the future to better Take Care client's care and well being. To hear more about Take Care Concierge Transportation, please call us: 941.927.2292. We service Sarasota, Bradenton, Venice and surrounding communities.
Take Care offers Concierge Transportation service caters to clients who need assistance in vehicle travel, but wish to ride inconspicuously. The all-black exterior with simple, white "Concierge Transport" lettering mirrors the subtle, classy ride.
