General Info

Susanne S. Wise, RN, MBA, is known throughout the community and highly respected for her caring and generous nature toward clients and employees. As a nurse, with her keen business acumen, she witnessed first-hand the need for a private duty home health care agency that would uphold higher standards and set precedence for our local community. Susanne opened Take Care Private Duty Home Health Care in Sarasota, Florida almost seventeen years ago with these standards in mind. Since then she has opened offices in Bradenton and Venice. Furthering her vision and mission to bring her clients the highest quality in care, she also intuitively forecasted the need for geriatric care management services, opening Take Care Advisor in 2008. As owner and entrepreneur of Take Care, Susanne pays special attention to two crucial elements: quality of personnel and customer service. She interviews virtually every prospective employee, as they are so intimately involved in the care provided to each client. The personnel are the foundation of how Take Care is able to provide clients with the highest level of private duty home health care, geriatric care management services, and non-emergency medical transport services. With the goal being to serve clients to the best of our ability, our employees reflect this commitment to Take Care’s standards of excellence. In addition to meeting with the caregivers, Susanne frequently visits with clients and family members to maintain the relationship and a level of customer service consistency. Susanne is a charter member of the National Private Duty Association, a member of the Home Healthcare Nurses Association, a member of the National Association of Professional Geriatric Care Managers, and a member of the Sarasota Chamber of Commerce. In 2009, the Tampa Bay Business Journal selected Susanne as a finalist in the Health Care Heroes Award program for her exemplary performance in the medical field, going above and beyond the call of duty. Since 2000, the Gulf Coast Business Review has ranked Take Care as one of the 250 largest companies in Sarasota and Manatee counties. The local community continues to recognize Take Care in the “Readers’ Choice” Awards program in the Sarasota Herald-Tribune newspaper. Since 2003, the readership of the Sarasota Herald-Tribune has choosen Take Care as one of the best home health care agencies in Sarasota. In 2009, the Bradenton Herald readership voted and selected Take Care of Manatee, Inc. as a finalist in the best home health care provider for the “Peoples’ Choice Award.” The Venice Gondolier Sun has voted Take Care in Venice as the #1 home health care agency in Venice since 2004.

As additional safety measures, Take Care requires driving records and drug testing of each employee. Each caregiver is required to have current CPR certification. Caregiver Training Take Care’s caregivers are required to complete an 8-hour orientation program in the corporate Take Care office in Sarasota, Florida. Newly hired caregivers are enrolled in the Take Care “On Boarding Program” to match them with mentors to guide them through the initial caregiving process.
