Hi I’m Ed, founder of both Mic’s Place and Care Nests. This is the story of how I brought the top level of care for Medicare waiver recipients into their homes! Care Nests is an offshoot of Mic’s Place. You might be wondering what is Mic’s Place? It’s a “star performing” state approved provider of personal assistance to individuals with physical and intellectual disabilities. What’s Mic’s Place have to do with Care Nests? Well after 8 years of providing excellent care to Medicaid waiver recipients, I decided to bring the same excellence to the senior care market. My motivation to help seniors and my perspective as to what’s important comes from my experiences with my mother. It pained me to hear her complain of her difficulties caring for my father who had Parkinson’s disease. My parents spent their last 7 years together in an assisted living community. The cost of this care proved to be draining on their finances at approximately $45,000 per year. When my father passed away, my mother's loneliness was intense. Our families' concern for her well being weighted heavily on all of us. "Our company focus is not to grow big and fast, but rather to provide the best care possible, quite sincerely the care I would expect for my mother or myself, in time." -Ed Scwhartz, Care Nests Founder When my father passed away, my mother's loneliness was intense. Our families’ concern for her well being weighed heavily on all of us. My wife and I had adopted a beautiful baby girl named Michelle from Korea in 1989. Michelle is Autistic, suffers from frequent seizures, is non-verbal, and is blind in the left eye. Her condition lends itself to behavior issues, which proved too difficult for my mother to move in. Luckily my brother and sister-in-law came to the rescue moving my mother to an assisted living facility one mile down the road from their home. Through their enormous efforts, I can honestly say that mom has endured the loss of my dad and is now happy, healthy, and 94 years young. "It is my personal goal to meet each and every new customer in person and spend a day with them to better understand their specific needs and match those needs to the best possible caregiver." -Ed Scwhartz, Care Nests Founder What I learned is that by being aware of our parents' situation, condition, and mood, we can help provide them a happier, and more rewarding life. This is what prompted me to start Care Nests. As a member of the Tennessee Microboard Association Board of Directors I've learned how important family is and that life is beautiful even in the face of adversity. I highly recommend you visit the association website to learn more about self-determination, inclusion and the concept of a microboard. The association is not for profit and provides a path of support for those with special needs. Because of our hands on approach and our individual real life experiences, Care Nests' employees stay with us on the average of 5 to 7 years. Our friendly staff is hand selected because of their nuturing personalities and caring nature. We perform thorough background checks and extensive training to ensure our customers recieve top notch service. It is my personal goal to meet each and every new customer in person and spend a day with them to better understand their specific needs and match those needs to the best possible caregiver. Care Nests limits new customers to five (5) per month focusing not on growth, but rather on providing the best care possible, quite sincerely the care I would e
