Every other agency hired caregivers.
Shannon was one.
Most home care businesses are built by operators who understand business but have never provided care. Shannon Stafford Simpson built this agency from the inside out — as a Certified Nursing Assistant who decided the standard she experienced wasn't good enough for her own family, let alone yours.
The credential came before the business.
Shannon spent years working as a Certified Nursing Assistant in homes, facilities, and alongside families navigating some of the hardest transitions of their lives. She saw what good care looked like — and she saw how often it wasn't happening.
She didn't set out to build a company. She set out to build a team she would trust with her own mother. Savannah Personal Care Services is what that looks like when you build it right.
"I didn't buy a franchise. I earned a credential — then built a team I'd trust with my own mother."
That difference shows up in how every member of our Care Team is selected, how families are communicated with at every step, and why Shannon is personally present on the first visit with every new client — every time, without exception.
Most agencies bought a manual.
Shannon earned a credential.
The largest home care companies in Savannah are franchises. Their own websites say so. Here is what that means for your family.
"Each franchise is independently owned and operated." The local operator bought the brand — not the clinical expertise.
The founder has likely never provided in-home care. They built a business around it.
A call center coordinates your intake. The caregiver who shows up on day one is whoever is available that week.
Your first visit is unsupervised. A stranger enters your loved one's home alone.

She has been in the room when families make this decision — hundreds of times. She knows what you are carrying.
Your intake is a conversation — not a form. Shannon's team selects one specific caregiver based on personality, not schedule.
