Hire an Independent Caregiver to Provide Personalized Senior Care in South Charlotte, NC

Philip Marxen’s family has consistently served in the healthcare sector to uplift the lives of others. His father, an orthopedic surgeon for over 30 years, focused on replacement and reconstruction of the knees, hips, and shoulders, enabling patients to resume their favorite sports and enjoy daily living activities without nagging joint pain. Philip’s mother, a nurse with experience in oncology infusion, hospice admissions, and public schools, never hesitated to go beyond her defined responsibilities to identify and address unmet needs.

During childhood and into life as a young adult, Philip enjoyed a close relationship with his maternal grandmother (“Gramma”), who remains an inspiration to this day. Fiercely independent and strong-willed, Gramma lived at home into her 80s. Seeking to honor Gramma’s wish to stay home, where she felt empowered, Philip’s mother spent significant time and energy caring for Gramma while also raising three children. In-home care assistance by an agency was attempted but not maintained due to inconsistency among the caregivers, which caused anxiety and frustration for Gramma, who thrived on routines. Sadly, the only option seemed to be relocation to an assisted living facility, where deterioration of her physical and mental health accelerated. It was not until many years later that Philip would learn of a better way.

Hallmark Homecare, a referral agency that does the work of finding, screening, and matching high quality, independent caregivers, could have provided a consistent and affordable alternative, enabling Gramma to age in place while alleviating the burden on Philip’s mother and improving the quality of their mother-daughter time together.

As owner of Hallmark Homecare, Philip is excited to deliver Charlotte-area seniors this uniquely compelling home caregiving solution.
