SYNERGY HomeCare: Raising the Standard of Patient Care

SYNERGY HomeCare of Fredericksburg is owned and operated by Beata Alghabra, who comes from a background in healthcare management and finance. She is joined by Jalal Alghabra, PA-C, who has over 20 years of experience working as a healthcare provider. 

The company serves residents of the City of Fredericksburg and the surrounding counties of Spotsylvania, Stafford, Culpeper, Orange, and Caroline. Their services range from companion care to personal care to specialized care for people with chronic health conditions, memory care, diabetes care, or recovery from illness or surgery.

Beata was drawn to the home care industry after witnessing her aging parents’ passion for independent living and the struggles as an adult child to accomplish and respect their wishes. Trying to make that happen for them by providing them with trusted, quality care in the privacy of their own home was a mission she would not take lightly.  

“It all started during Covid. My father was hospitalized and wasn’t going to be released from the hospital until we found care for him, but he refused to live anywhere but in his home. I can’t say that I blamed him. There’s nothing better than to be surrounded by the sense of security of your own home, your possessions, your comforts, your routines and habits, and the memories from all the years of effort and hard work it took to possess them. No one wants to let go of that. That’s what it means to be human.”

Home care was a natural next step as someone who already placed incredible value on independence and providing others with the tools to better themselves. 

By her side is her in-house administrator and husband of 20 years, Jalal Alghabra, who oversees the onboarding of new Care Professionals and also meets with potential clients. 

“When we match a client to a care professional, we do so with confidence. We want the very best for everyone. Ultimately, happy clients and care professionals make Synergy a happy place, and we like things that way”. 

SYNERGY HomeCare of Fredericksburg provides a wide range of non-medical care options. We provide extended-stay options for those primary caregivers who happen to be family members for that much-needed respite care. Other options include overnight care and late night care too. 

Personal care aide help includes assistance with cooking, shopping, assistance to doctor’s appointments, running errands, light housekeeping, and other tasks that allow clients to live independently. Personal care provides assistance with bathing, dressing, grooming, and other activities of daily life. 

“We want to care for our caregivers as much as we want to care for our clients. We believe that to have quality care and service, it all starts with providing our caregivers the foundation, pay, and structure needed for them to do what they love, which is taking care of our beloved clients,” Beata stated. “We place an emphasis on preventing burnout, focusing on mental health, and providing a fun place to work. All of these things translate to happy caregivers. Ultimately, we want our caregivers to be part of the Synergy family long-term.”

“Jalal provides the calm, steadfast resolve that one needs to navigate working in healthcare. He provides a fun-loving atmosphere that’s hard to find these days. I’m blessed in so many ways to have him a part of this spectacular team and organization. I am in awe of him daily. His approach to patient care is like no other, and we love that about him!” Beata stated fondly. 

“We acknowledge that being a caregiver in today’s home care environment is not easy. Burnout is real and very much relevant. Mental health is not just a hot topic for patients and clients, but those working with them,” Beata said. “We want to be an amazing place to work, gain confidence, be accessible to our caregivers, and help them grow as individuals working in home care. You’re not an employee when you work for Synergy. You’re family from the moment you sign on with us!”

“We want to provide a graceful, organic complement to independent living for our aging population. We want to help foster a strong, kind, and compassionate relationship between the client and the care professional. Our priority is to provide our clients with the support they need to lead an independent lifestyle,” said Beata. “We promise to go above and beyond in our pursuit to help people live happy, independent lives for as long as possible.”
