Care Choices, Straight from the Heart, was founded by Awilda “Billy” MacCready in the spring of 1994. Billy was a fierce advocate for the delivery of quality home care. She was a compassionate woman who wanted people to stay in their own homes, healthy and happy, for as long as possible. From personal experience she knew the pain and stress of caring and worrying about a loved one and felt privileged to be able to provide care and support for families and individuals.

Despite being diagnosed in 1998 with cancer, Billy continued to do her best for her clients and employees until the last few months. After her death in spring of 2001, her daughter continued with the business. After one year, the family sold the business to two of Billy’s employees, a registered nurse and the office administrator. Thus it continued to provide quality care in Lunenburg County for four more years.

Spring of 2006, brought another change in ownership. The two partners stepped back and the bookkeeper, who joined Billy in winter of 1995, purchased Care Choices.

And so it continues!

All because one woman was brave enough and caring enough to want better care for those who could not care for themselves. Billy has given us a proud legacy.
