Locally Owned, RN-Led In-Home Senior Care
What sets 2nd Family Charlotte apart is its combination of personal attention, professional oversight and local ownership.
Pieprzyk, a Certified Dementia Practitioner (CDP), is personally involved in the business and directly accessible to families. His specialized training supports the company's commitment to helping older adults, including those living with dementia, receive thoughtful, individualized care.
The company's RN-led approach means registered nurses oversee personalized care plans, while every 2nd Family Charlotte caregiver is a certified nursing assistant (CNA) providing hands-on assistance with everyday activities. Services include bathing, dressing, companionship, meal preparation, transportation, light housekeeping and other support that helps older adults remain comfortable and independent at home.
2nd Family Charlotte also offers a Safe Transitions Program for families navigating the move from a hospital or rehabilitation facility back home. The program provides additional in-home support during a time when families may be managing new routines, mobility challenges and changing care needs.
A Growing Part of Charlotte's Senior Care Community
Throughout its first year, 2nd Family Charlotte has developed relationships with senior living communities, rehabilitation centers, healthcare professionals and senior care advisors across Charlotte, Matthews and surrounding communities.
These connections are an important part of the company's approach to helping families find the right care and resources when they need them.
"I'm incredibly proud of our caregivers and the relationships we've built in such a short time," said Pieprzyk. "We're a local company, and that matters to us. We want families to know there's someone right here in their community they can count on."
As 2nd Family Charlotte enters its second year, the company remains focused on expanding its reach throughout Charlotte, Matthews, Gastonia, Belmont and all of Union County while maintaining the personal attention and family-centered care that have defined its first year.
