Fran S. Palm Coast, FL Feb 2014
Sarah has been taking care of my 93-year-old mother for 10 months. My mother had a massive stroke that left her with left-sided paralysis. Sarah is a knowledgeable, personable, and compassionate person. She is a take-charge person. If she is not sure of something, she doesn't hesitate to ask me about it. Palm Coast, FL Nov 2016
This is to certify that Sarah Ragsdale worked for me as a home health aide for approximately 5 weeks after I came out of a rehabilitation facility in November 2016. I found her to be extremely reliable in terms of arriving at my home on time every day for the duration of her employment. Sarah cheerfully offered assistance in any way I needed help, even including walking my little dog, helping with light housework, and driving me to and from errands. She is a kind and caring person. Hopefully, it will not be necessary, but if I find myself in need of an aide in the future, I will not hesitate to hire her again. Halifax Plantation, Ormond Beach, FL Jan. 2017
Sarah SmilePC, Thank you so much for your help. Mom was released from her home health team because she can now dress, get up and down, be very mobile with a walker in and outside, go to the bathroom. Dad and Mom are now going out to dinner, doing a few errands, having cocktails, and playing cards. Mom goes back to the bridge next Monday. It would not have happened without your love and Support. Sarah Smiles
Q: Has anyone used this caregiver service? A: MJ M, Plantation Bay, Ormond Beach, FL Apr 2017
Yes, I used Sarah after I broke my leg for about 5 months. She was very helpful to me and my 93-year-old mother who moved after many falls. She is a very caring, responsible, and punctual person. Her husband Edison also pitched in when we needed an extra pair of to hands. Feel free to message me if you need more information. Palm Coast, FL Sept 2017
Sarah is punctual, professional, and extremely savvy in every area of her expertise. She is by far one of the best people I have had the pleasure to work with. MJ M. Plantation Bay, Ormond Beach, FL Mar 2018
Sarah became an important part of our family when I was recovering from 2 surgeries. Her responsibilities doubled when not long after my 94-year-old mother moved in. She held our family together by being an awesome caregiver who was always positive, responsible, and punctual managing multiple helpers as well. When my mother's health declined she stepped up by helping figure out care options for her. Mom and I highly recommend Sarah and her crew who were always there for us. Joey D. Hidden Lakes, Palm Coast, FL Aug. 2018
I highly recommend Sarah Smile. She took great care of my grandmother and I’m confident she will do great for your dad. Angela D. Hidden Lakes, Palm Coast, FL Aug 2018
Sarah is a wonderful person. She’s very caring and always on time. She took very good care of my mom until she passed away this past August. Very trustworthy and will work with you as needed with scheduling care for your loved one. I highly recommend her. Jim N. Halifax Plantation, Ormond Beach, FL Sept 2018
On July 12, I had Knee replacement surgery. Living by myself, I had no local support. For the first 10 days, family members flew in to help, but ultimately, it was essential that I have professional help. I was unable to leave the house and obviously could not drive. I was in pain and not capable of managing all my medication, my meals, my therapy, getting to doctor appointments, and therapy sessions for over a month. During that time, I engaged Sarah Smile, LLC, and specifically Sarah Ragsdale. She took over and made a huge contribution to my day-to-day needs and my recovery. She helped manage my schedule, my medications, my meals, my therapy, icing my swollen knee, my
transportation, and any errands that demanded attention. The surgery, recovery, and rehabilitation therapy were very painful and distracting. Without help, I am sure I would have made mistakes and forgotten the doctor’s directions due to the distraction of the pain and the difficulty of movement. Sarah stayed in contact and was diligent at taking care of and managing my needs. She was very dependable. I would add that Sarah was very proactive and attentive to my needs and my schedule. We stayed together and communicated on what was needed and when. She was very empathetic with the medical and emotional issues involved with this type of surgery and recovery. I was the beneficiary of her professional knowledge regarding my
medication, my status, my therapy, and my needs. Equally important, Sarah’s integrity and work ethic made me very comfortable that everything was okay, and she was to be completely trusted in my home as was with my treatment. Everything she said she would do she did. Her invoices were accurate and timely. Finally, she brings a calming personality and it is a pleasure to interact with her. I
highly recommend Sarah. Karla F., Plantation Bay Oct 2018
Sarah SmilePC, Thank you for coming through for me in my time of need. You have gone above and beyond to help me and I appreciate it! Denise A A. DDS Plantation Bay, Ormond Beach, FL Dec. 2018
I am writing this letter of recommendation with pleasure on behalf of the owners of Sarah Smile P.C., Ed and Sarah Ragsdale. Ed and Sarah reliably and professionally cared for my father Vincent from 1/18 until his passing from cancer on 11/26/18. The duties they carried out were many and included the following:
Assisting with meal preparation (according to my dad, Sarah made the best breakfast ever), laundry, making beds, doing dishes, grocery shopping, grooming, showering, ambulation, administration of multiple medications in a timely manner, administration of oxygen when needed, physical therapy, household organization, including cleaning the garage and car detailing and transporting him to and from multiple medical appointments. Ed was a great companion and tried to get my dad out of the house whenever he was well enough. They used to go out for breakfast and lunch to my dad’s favorite spots, they went fishing and took scenic rides by the ocean. My dad considered Ed his buddy and really enjoyed his companionship and looked forward to seeing him. My dad always seemed very happy when I called and checked on him, which was at least twice a day. He would tell me the things he and Ed had done that day such as watching their favorite TV shows, baseball games, or exercising. Other days they just sat and talked about my father’s life experiences which prompted Ed to suggest they write a book about my father’s life. They recorded videos, collected old photos, and made audio clips of my father’s stories whenever my dad was able. These audio clips are now priceless mementos to our family. On occasion when my father’s companion was out of town they stayed with him and cared for him around the clock for as long as a week at a time. Once when in their care my dad suddenly fell Ill from his recent chemo. Ed immediately got him to the hospital in the middle of the night, stayed with him, and called me regularly with updates. Ed and Sarah were on time, reliable and when called upon at the last minute in emergency situations they made every effort to get to him immediately. Since I live in New York it was a great comfort to me to know my father was safe and cared for and that his companion had a reliable organization to count on so she could get a much-needed break. When my dad was in the hospital, which was often, Ed and Sarah would visit him on their own time because they cared about him so much. They were there with him in the hospital the day he passed and I could see how genuinely upset they were. I would highly recommend Sarah Smile P.C. to anyone who wants a professional compassionate team to care for their loved ones. Tina S (Halifax Plantation, Ormond Beach, FL) May 2018
Hired Sarah SmilePC, Thank you so much for your help. Mom goes back to playing bridge next Monday. Would not have happened without your love and Support.
Joanne B., Plantation Bay Apr. 2019
After being sole caregiver to my husband stricken with Lewy Body Dementia/Parkinsonism for nearly two years, it was time to enlist help. I checked out various agencies, but was not happy with their terms; being locked into a contractual agreement, the rigidity of scheduling, and not being able to interview the caregivers themselves, did not work. Sarah came to my house, listened intently to what our needs were, and most importantly, exhibited true kindness and compassion! She treats us with honest TLC and offers flexibility when needed. When the time came where we needed additional help, Sarah came over with Michelle, Francine, and her husband Ed. They spent the necessary time for my daughters and me to talk with them and formulate a plan tailored to our needs. They, ALL of them are dependable and trustworthy! We’ve been with Sarah Smile since July 2018 and couldn’t be happier with her service! Both my husband and I have and continue to enjoy a better life ever since!

There are many home health care providers and agencies out there that can dispense medications, check blood pressure, provide assistance with activities of daily living, and prepare meals. But how many will take the time to learn everything about a 98-year-olds life experience and become a great friend to her? In my opinion, only one and that is Sarah of Sarah Smiles. Sarah helped me to take care of my mother while she was visiting with me for a month and was flexible in working the hours that I needed her. Her prices were very reasonable and fair. But most of all, Sarah made my mother feel important and loved and saw Sarah as a friend coming to visit and not a home health care provider. Sarah went the extra mile to learn my mother’s deepest joys and memories and to take an interest in her passions which were doing crossword puzzles, playing gin rummy, and watching Judge Judy. I couldn’t have found a more professional and personable provider for my mother. Thank you, Sarah, for being an angel to my mother and a friend to my family! My mother still talks about how much she likes you.
Walter B.~ Former Client July 2020 Palm Coast, FL
Sarah, I just want to say thank you so much for being such a blessing to my mom, my brother, and me. I don’t know what I would have done without you and Francine. You are indeed special people doing a very difficult job. Thank you so very much! Dondona, Faughnan, and Kohlhepp families of Palm Coast. July 2021
SarahSmilePC has been a Godsend to my family; for my dad, me, and my aunt. Sarah and her team are skilled professionals that are kind, caring, patient, and loving. I highly recommend SarahSmilePC for anyone that is
in need of home care assistance. Antoinette Dellarosa-Christ Sept 2021
Don't know what I would have done after bypass surgery without the aid and caring care of Sarah and her employee, Francine. They were wonderful in helping me get back to where I could get stronger in my recovery while they took care of my everyday needs like teaching me to shower, dressing, fixing breakfast, changing my bedding, doing laundry at the same time making sure I was hydrated and tracking my vitals plus many other little things. Sarah and Francine were God-sent and I will always be thankful for their expertise. On a scale of 1 to 10, I give Sarah Smile PC a 10++++.
