Nurse-Owned Senior Care | Boyertown, Douglassville & Gilbertsville
Personalized In-Home Senior Care for the Boyertown, Douglassville, and Gilbertsville Community
Tired of “Big Agency” Care? Experience the Difference of a Nurse-Owned, Family Business.
If you live in Douglassville, Gilbertsville, or Boyertown, you know that community matters. You aren’t just a number here, and we believe your parents’ care shouldn’t be treated like a transaction either.
Many families in the Boyertown Area School District find themselves at a crossroads. You want your parents to stay in the home they love, whether that’s a quiet spot in Amity Township or near the heart of historic Boyertown, but the daily reality of dementia, mobility issues, or post-hospital recovery has become too much to handle alone.
Family Caregivers Network isn’t a national franchise. We are a small, dedicated team led by Gerry Fioriglio, RN, CDP, BS. Because we are nurse-owned and family-operated, we do things differently:
Clinical Expertise, Not Just Supervision: Every care plan is overseen by a Registered Nurse who understands the medical complexities of aging.
We Know Our Caregivers: We don’t just “fill shifts.” We hire people we would trust with our own parents. Our staff are compassionate and experienced caregivers.
A Familiar Face: In a smaller company like ours, you aren’t lost in a corporate database. We know our clients by name, and we’re here to support your whole family.
A Different Kind of Conversation
Choosing care is a big decision. You shouldn’t feel pressured by a salesperson. Instead, talk to a nurse who can give you real answers. Whether your parent is in Douglassville, Bally, or Barto, we’re ready to help them age with dignity and safety at home.

Why Specialized Dementia Care Matters
Berks County In-Home Dementia / Alzheimer’s Activities & Support Program
Navigating the complexities of Alzheimer’s or Parkinson’s disease for a loved one can be one of life’s most challenging journeys, and it’s one you shouldn’t have to walk alone.
For families throughout Berks County, from the neighborhoods of Douglassville to the rural reaches of Barto and Hereford, finding specialized in-home support that truly understands these unique cognitive needs is essential.
With a significant and growing senior population across the Oley Valley and Boyertown areas, the demand for expert dementia and Parkinson’s care has never been higher. As a local, nurse-owned company, Family Caregivers Network is here to meet that demand with the kind of personalized care you simply won’t find at a large national franchise.
How Our Specialized Approach Works:
Our Alzheimer’s specialists aren’t just “sitters.” They are trained and certified by the Alzheimer’s Association to design activities specifically tailored to your parent’s unique life story. We look at their level of dementia, their lifelong hobbies, and their most cherished past and present memories to create a day that is engaging and meaningful.
Our goal is to help your loved one:
Improve memory function through targeted cognitive exercises.
Stabilize mood and reduce the frustration or “sundowning” often associated with dementia.
Stay active within the community they feel comfortable in and love.
Maintain independence for as long as possible in a safe, familiar environment.
In-home Parkinson’s Support Program
Our Parkinson’s Program helps individuals manage Parkinson’s disease by focusing on memory, movement, and medications.
We collaborate with your doctor and outpatient therapist to create a personalized plan that helps patients stay engaged in exercises and activities to reduce hospitalizations and relapses.
- Improve strength and balance, helping to reduce falls.
- Maintain independence.
- Reduce return hospitalizations and inpatient rehab stays.
- Improve quality of life.
- Develop coping skills for families.
- Educate families on how to care for loved ones.
