About AdvisaCare

We were established in 1997 as Alacrity Staffing to provide healthcare personnel to hospitals, nursing facilities, and other medical entities throughout the country. As time went on, our focus shifted from facility-based staffing to personalized one on one care at home because we recognized the need for a smooth and safe transition from the hospital/facility setting to care in the home and our name changed to AdvisaCare Home Health. AdvisaCare became the solution for individuals and their families seeking superior home care services delivered with the exceptional customer service they deserve.

Home Care is personal and our founder, Kris Skogen, believes it should be local too. To that end, we employ a network of clinicians and healthcare staff that live in and understand the communities we serve. AdvisaCare is committed to supporting these communities through a variety of charitable endeavors.

AdvisaCare has grown over the years to meet the diverse needs of our clients by adding Medicare Home Health, Rebound Therapy Services, Respiratory Care and Hospice to our offerings designed to maximize health, safety, and independence while reducing stress and worry. We consider it a privilege to make a difference in the lives of our clients, their families, and the communities in which they live. We thank them for the honor of serving them and providing better living.
