Levy’s Leadership Gives Clients an ‘Advantage’

Daniel Levy is an icon of purpose, care and support. A leader in healthcare, home and private nursing caregiving services, he heads up one of the best companies in his field, Advantage Private Home Care. His decades of serving the community are built on his own story, one of grit, healing and determination.

Born and raised in Columbus, Ga., Levy moved to Atlanta in 2000, married his wife, Sara, in 2012, and they had twin boys in 2015. The couple’s children both have attended Atlanta’s local Jewish schools and enjoyed attending Camp Judaea and Marcus Jewish Community Center of Atlanta camps as well while growing up.

Daniel has two siblings and a stepbrother who still live in Georgia and said, “I was raised Jewish in a conservative synagogue, attending Camp Judaea and Young Judaea for years. I majored in health science with an emphasis on business and spent the first two years on a tennis scholarship at University of South Carolina-Aiken and graduated from University of Georgia after transferring junior year.”

Prior to a tragic accident, Levy began college with a promising career. What happened next was unfathomable, which forever changed his life. He explained, “After my sophomore year of college tennis, I took a summer job in Atlanta to valet park in Buckhead. I was going to get a get a car, and in an instant, saw a car coming at me. I tried to stop, but I could not, and the car never saw me. I slipped and looked like a sprinter lunging forward to hit the finish line tape but was hit by the car and went underneath the car. The car finally stopped, and I was trapped underneath it. They had to lift the car off me and rushed me to Grady. I broke multiple bones requiring back surgery and had some third-degree burns from the muffler and road rash that required surgery. I spent nearly a month at Grady and could not weight bear or sit past 90 degrees for three months. I could not walk without assistance for nine months and was not able go faster than a walking pace until 12 months. That put me on the path of wanting to help others. After a decision to get a master’s in physical therapy or take a job straight out of college in homecare, I chose homecare. I never looked back.”

Levy said, “The valet accident molded me to stay in a healthcare setting that would help others. My first job out of college was with a National Homecare company. After 15 years working with National companies, I realized that I was ready and wanted to take my journey as an entrepreneur in this industry I love so much. In 2015, when my twins were born, I took over Advantage after the person who started the company was retiring. We are so honored and grateful to celebrate our 20th year in business. I have taken pride seeing my family grow and Advantage Private Home Care grow in the past 10 years. It is so rewarding to have assisted so many families who have trusted us to service their loved ones.”

His company provides one-on-one caregivers to individuals, mainly seniors, who need extra personal care in their home setting whether it is an individual home or a room in a senior living facility. He said, “We help families on an hourly basis anywhere from four hours per day up to 24 hours per day. We provide hourly care and live-in caregivers. We specialize in providing caregivers to assist individuals through private pay or long-term care policies. An example of situations that require our care level are ones … faced with dementia, recovering from a hospitalization, or hospice care.”

Levy’s company is dedicated to one-on-one attention. He elaborated, “We go wherever it is needed, and we have the credentials to be approved anywhere. Utilizing Advantage Private Home Care is one of the rare ways to give an individual needing extra care, one-on-one care by the hours the family requests them to have. We can provide services in a residential home, senior living facility, hospital, or a nursing rehabilitation facility to name a few places. Anywhere a person needs care, our company has the credentials such as state licensure, liability and workers comp insurance, W-2 and mandatory background screenings. Any caregiver employed by our company is a certified nursing assistant that is required to be approved and active through the Georgia Nurse Aide Registry.”

Levy shared, “I tell families that we are an ‘as needed’ service, and they are the boss. They tell us what days, times, duration of services they are looking for and my job is to make it happen and provide extreme value and dedicated care.”
