My name is Vernon Atwood and Grace is my wife of 20 years. We have two teenage daughters, Jessica and Jacqueline. Northwest Orange County and Southeast Los Angeles County has been our home for more than 20 years.
Both Grace and I have been in the healthcare field for 50 years combined! My Mom was an RN and I was always drawn towards healthcare. I chose this field right out of college. I was also a long-distance caregiver for my mom and understand the challenges that come along with that experience. We are fortunate that Grace's parents are still at home, happy and independant.
We are also involved in the Health Ministry at our church, where we bring communion to the homebound. This inspired us to be Right at Home owners. We were praying about how we could make a greater impact in our community and Grace saw the Right at Home story in an airline magazine. Immediately she knew this was right for us! In the article Allan Hager, Right At Home's founder and chairman, was talking about how our parents and grandparents want to stay at home; they don't want to be in a place where they are isolated. The minute the plane landed, Grace called me and we have never looked back.
We have always valued faith and family above our careers; now this is our chance, with God's help to help loved ones stay home and families stay together. In our Health Ministry vocation we find the people we serve have so much beauty and wisdom.
We have assembled a loving and caring team who are totally dedicated to improving quality of life for those we serve. We are using our broad experience in healthcare and community service to ensure your experience with us is professional, dependable and loving.
