Our History
Susanne S. Wise, RN, MBA, founded Take Care in 1995, opening the doors with four employees in Sarasota. As a nurse with keen business acumen, she witnessed first-hand the need for a private duty home health care agency that would uphold higher standards and set precedents for our local community. She was right— Take Care has been caring for our clients and community ever since. Furthering Susanne’s vision to bring her clients the highest quality in care, she opened Take Care Advisor in 2008, the same year her daughters Courtney Wise Snyder, MSG, CMC and Erika Wise Borland, MA joined the company’s leadership team. Together, they continue to ensure a continuity of character and consistency of values. Take Care proudly remains locally nurse-owned and family-operated.
