We've been in a deep freeze over here in southeastern Pennsylvania for what feels like forever!❄️🥶
Finally a little relief this week but more snow on the way (maybe) this weekend!😫
Accumulating snow can be a nightmare for those aging in place & their family members!
Not with 2nd Family of Philadelphia & the Main Line.
When we got a call from one of our caregivers about digging out a client, 2nd Family owner, Chris and his teenage boys, sprung into action! The client was so thankful, he INSISTED on giving the boys some money for their hard work. 💚
This is not just business for us...it's community & connection...and family!
Caregiving is hard...
So many things we can't control...
The one thing we can control is our mindset.
There is good in every day, in every situation...we just need to be open to it💚

That's what you get with 2nd Family Philadelphia/Main Line caregivers💯

Founded by Friends with a shared core value...Family
Friends for over 20 years, 2nd Family Main Line founders, Sean Killeen & Emily Glowicki RN, BSN, recently discovered each of our grandmothers required in-home care. Sean’s grandmother, Eileen, lovingly known as “Minxie,” suffered from a stroke and needed 24-7 care for over 16 years. Emily’s grandmother, Mary, lovingly known as “Grams,” suffered from Alzheimer’s for over 6 years.
Our families worked tirelessly, for years, arranging family and caregivers schedules. We dealt with call-outs, complicated medical care, in-home care, and overall scheduling logistics that, ultimately, created round the clock work for many family members.
Together, we wanted to create a solution that offers families the highest quality care to relieve the burden for families going through similar experiences. Watching our families’ hard work and dedication to our grandmothers created the foundation for our 3-pronged approach to home-care:
1.) Highest quality, expertly trained caregivers who are reliable & compassionate
2.) RN Care Coordinators managing day-to-day care & client experience
3.) Family Portal - The latest mobile technology to keep families informed at all times
For Emily, 2nd Family’s Director of Nursing, becoming a nurse with a specific passion to care for the elderly was fueled by her grandmother’s struggle. 15 years of nursing experience both in the hospital and the out-patient setting gave her the skills to provide and recognize exceptional professional care. 2nd Family Main Line was born out of this knowledge and helped identify the keys to exemplary care, skilled communication, collaboration, and caregivers committed to life-long learning and compassion. Compelled to help others and to fill the void in quality home care, 2nd Family Main Line offers our client families the peace of mind and expert care that their loved ones deserve.
