SYNERGY HomeCare in Irving is owned and operated by the husband-and-wife duo of Akua and Douglas Dickson, both of whom migrated to the U.S. from Ghana and are now the proud owners of Irving’s newest care provider. Akua has experience as a family caregiver, looking after her and Douglas’ three sons, as well as her 80-year-old mother. Douglas is an orthopedic spine surgeon who explored home care as a way to provide continued care to patients beyond their hospital stays.
The Dicksons and their team of caregivers assist residents throughout Coppell, Euless, Irving, and Grapevine with a range of services, including companion care, personalized in-home assistance, and specialized support for individuals managing chronic health conditions or recovering from illness or surgery (post-surgical/procedure non-medical care).
Douglas’s medical career spans over 25 years and was one of the key reasons the Dicksons relocated to the U.S. As an orthopedic spine surgeon, however, many of his patients required care that would extend beyond what Douglas was able to offer as a surgeon. As a result, he often witnessed former clients deal with multiple readmissions or other complications caused by a lack of a continuous care plan. This gap in care is what inspired Douglas to explore home care and begin providing long-term support with Akua.
Akua’s role as a family caregiver started when she was only a child, and she was tasked with caring for her grandparents, who lived to be over 90 years old. Today, Akua still handles many of those same responsibilities as the mother of three boys and the primary caregiver to her 80-year-old mother. Her care also extends beyond her immediate family, as she often coordinates charity events with nearby organizations and churches.
SYNERGY HomeCare in Irving provides a wide range of non-medical care options. Companion care includes assistance with cooking, shopping, running errands, light housekeeping, and other tasks that allow clients to live independently. Personal care assists with bathing, dressing, using the toilet, and other activities of daily life, and post-surgical/procedure non-medical care.
