Personalized, private-duty, nonmedical care in the comfort of home. One caregiver, one routine, one family at a time — led personally by our founder.
Founded by Taquisha Thomas, LPN — a licensed practical nurse with more than fifteen years at the bedside — serving Gonzales, Louisiana and the surrounding communities. She writes and oversees every care plan herself.

Taquisha Thomas
Taquisha Thomas, LPN, has spent more than fifteen years in healthcare — first at the bedside as a licensed practical nurse, then coordinating care teams, and now leading Spencer Senior Care as Founder & Lead Consultant.
That experience is the reason this agency exists. She watched families struggle to find caregivers who arrived on time and stayed, and watched good caregivers leave agencies that treated people as numbers. Spencer Senior Care was built as the alternative: a small, private-duty, nurse-led agency that answers the phone, plans carefully, and shows up.
Our standard is simple and non-negotiable — care that preserves dignity, respects the family, and never treats age as a reason to stop being treated like a person.
“We treat your family like our own. That is not a tagline — it is the test we hold every caregiver and every care plan to.”
Every service is private-duty and nonmedical — daily living support, companionship, respite and caregiver placement — shaped around one person's routine.
One caregiver, one routine, in the home your loved one already knows — personal, nonmedical support with dignity intact.
A steady hand for the family members who have been carrying the weight — respite visits planned around your week.
Nonmedical companion and personal-care coverage for assisted living communities and senior programs.
Carefully vetted caregivers matched by skill and temperament — a few hours a week, or a longer-term match.
Select who you are and we will show you exactly how we work with you.
We begin with a conversation — not a sales pitch — and build a plan around your loved one's routine, preferences and medical needs.
Most families start with one or two visits a week and adjust from there.
Every caregiver we place and every plan we write is measured against these four standards — because care is not a service you can improvise.
Straight answers, in the order families usually ask them. If your question is not here, call — you will speak with our founder, not a call centre.
Our caregivers support the business of daily living — bathing, dressing, mobility, meals, medication reminders, errands and companionship. They do not provide clinical treatment, and we say so plainly. When a home health or hospice team is involved, we work alongside them so the plan stays joined up.
In-home care · Gonzales, Louisiana
It starts with a free in-home consultation and a written plan you approve — usually within a few days. If you are calling from a hospital discharge or because a caregiver has stepped away, call us directly. We will tell you honestly what we can cover and when, rather than promising a shift we cannot fill.
Assessment & care plan
Always. You meet the caregiver we have matched and you are free to say no. Care only holds when the person in the house feels right to the person receiving it — so the introduction is part of the process, not a formality.
One caregiver, one routine
Plans are built to move. Respite can be a single weekend or a few visits a week, and in-home care can scale up or down as the situation changes. There is no long-term contract tying a family in.
Respite & family support
Yes. We supply supplemental companion and personal-care coverage for residents who need more one-to-one attention than a community's own team can give, and our caregivers are oriented to that community's routines. We complement the staff on the floor rather than replace them.
Senior community support
Gonzales, Louisiana and the surrounding communities. If you are not sure whether we reach you, call and ask — a short conversation is faster than a form, and we answer it personally.
Gonzales & surrounding communities
The measure of good care is how people describe it afterwards.
“[Family testimonial needed — one or two sentences from a daughter, son or spouse, in their own words.]”

“[Second family testimonial needed — ideally about respite, overnight support or a care plan.]”
[Client family name]

“[Community partner testimonial needed — from a senior community or program Taquisha has supported.]”

[Role and community — e.g. Life Enrichment Director]
