Marvallous is a family-owned home care company based in Jacksonville, serving families throughout Northeast Florida. The company was born from a need our family experienced firsthand — a need for compassionate, consistent care that truly supports both children and their families.
Our family's journey into caregiving began long before Marvallous Cares was opened. As foster parents, we opened our home to more than 20 children, and eventually adopted two siblings who grew up alongside our biological kids. Through those experiences, we saw firsthand the challenges families face when caring for children with complex needs: exhausted parents, unfamiliar caregivers coming in and out of the home, and care plans that often existed on paper but did not always translate into meaningful support at home.
That commitment to caring for family has continued across generations. My wife's mother, Marva, lived with our family until she passed away. Caring for her became another deeply meaningful part of our family's journey and gave us an even greater appreciation for the dignity, patience, compassion, and personal connection that quality care requires. Today, my mother, now in her late 80s, also lives with us.
In fact, Marvallous was named in honor of Marva. The name is a tribute to a Christian woman who was not only part of our family, but whose life and presence helped shape our understanding of what it truly means to care for someone you love.
For our family, creating a pediatric home health agency was a natural extension of what we had already been called to do — open our home, care for children and loved ones, support families, and create an environment where every person feels safe, valued, and understood.
Marvallous is more than a home care company. It is an extension of our family's story and our commitment to caring for others.
Our name honors where we came from. Our care reflects who we are.
At Marvallous, we believe great care begins with treating every family like our own, because we love to Love!
