Home-Aid Care Givers

Joey Coker-Owner of Home-Aid Caregivers, Ltd. Home-Aid Caregivers, Ltd., is a natural progression for owner Joey Coker. He grew up in a small East Texas community surrounded by many family members and friends from the Depression and World War II eras who served as positive role models. His exposure to them continues to shape his character and provide spititual, personal and professional guidance. After receiving a bachelor's degree in public administration, Joey began took a job in skilled nursing facility and earned his master's degree in long-term care administration from the University of North Texas. The program was a very good jumpstart to my career because of the breadth of infromation related to business and gerontology, says Joey. After earning his master's degree, Joey began a career as Licensed Nursing Facilitator Administrator. Skilled nursing facilities present unique challengers to say the least, says Joey. The regulatory oversight, corporate culture and staff-turnover issues in that industry gave me the confidence that if i could succed in that job, I could do anything. Joey then served as director of skilled care services at a large home health agency that served 44 counties. This experience exposed me to home health and added another dimension to my eldercare experience, says Joey. After seeing how much happier the clients/patients were in their own homes and how the employees seemed to enjoy their jobs more, I decided home care was the place for me. In 2002 he moved to Tyler and started Home-Aid Caregivers, Ltd. Joey says it has been a wonderful adventure and that he has performed many roles within the company to make it a success. Obviously it was difficult, but it was even more rewarding. The mission of Home-Aid Caregivers, Ltd. is to provide the professional home care services with efficiency, integrity and love.
