An agency built on fifteen years at the bedside.
We are deliberately personal: one family at a time, one caregiver who learns the routine, and a licensed practical nurse who stays reachable. Based in Gonzales, Louisiana and serving the surrounding communities, our care is private-duty and nurse-led — daily living support, companionship and respite — with every care plan written by our founder.
Founder & Lead Consultant
Taquisha Thomas
Fifteen years at the bedside,
built into one plan at a time.
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.

I am the one who shows up.
I am Taquisha. I am the person who answers your call, the person who writes the care plan, and — most weeks — the person at your door.
This is a small practice, not a large agency with a call centre and a rotating list of faces. Fifteen years at the bedside taught me the difference between finishing a task and actually caring for someone.
My work is nonmedical: bathing and dressing, meals, mobility, medication reminders, errands and company. What I will not do is promise you coverage I cannot keep. If I can help, I will say so — and if I cannot, I will tell you that honestly too.
Care that keeps the person visible.
A diagnosis is not a personality. A care plan is not a checklist. Everything we write and every caregiver we place starts from the person in front of us — their history, their preferences, and the life they still intend to live.
Dignity
Age is not a reason to be spoken over, rushed, or managed. We protect autonomy in every small decision.
Respect
For the senior, for the family, and for the caregiver doing the work. All three have to be well for care to hold.
Compassion
Warmth that is steady rather than performative — the kind that shows up on the difficult days, not only the good ones.
Start with a conversation, not a contract.
Tell us what your family is facing. We will tell you honestly whether we are the right fit.
