So Who am I?
My name is Pansy P. Francis, the founder of Pansy Homecare Service, LLC. We are a family-owned home care agency that strives to continue to foster an environment of genuine care and compassion.
I am a mother, wife, daughter, and oldest of 6. Being a part of a large family makes you understand the importance of selflessness and plays a huge role in the person I am today.
Along with a 30-year career as a certified nursing assistant and trainer, I know the challenges faced by people living with dementia and other forms of memory damage. I also know they can still live a good quality of life, just as we provided for my mother-in-law.
It is my mission to train professionals on how to provide quality support for people with memory damage, and help families have peace of mind knowing their loved ones are safe and in good hands.
We Care. We are emotionally invested... and We Have Your Back!
“You deserve better, let’s do it TOGETHER”.
