Recovering from surgery is a journey that requires not just physical healing, but also emotional and mental peace. I’ve often seen families feel overwhelmed by the prospect of managing this delicate period at home.
My name is Rebekah LaFontaine, and for over 15 years, as the owner of Friends of the Family, it has been my life’s work to provide compassionate, dependable support to those who need it. As a pastor’s wife of more than 30 years, I’ve walked alongside families through their most challenging seasons, and I brought that same spirit of service with me when I took ownership of this agency in 2012.
I wanted to build something different from the impersonal corporate care I saw leaving families frustrated. I envisioned a home care agency where every client is treated with the warmth and respect of family, and your peace of mind is my personal mission. That vision is at the very heart of our approach to post-operative care in Sylvania, OH.
