Matt Gustafson

Managing Director

​

Franchise Owner, Matt Gustafson was born and raised in Florida. Matt graduated from Florida Atlantic University in 2008, went on to gain valuable business experience working in management roles for companies such as FSA Logistix, Forward Air, & Amazon, eventually starting his own businesses in 2022.  Matt became an entrepreneur to have the flexibility to spend more time with his family, while also building a company from the ground up while doing something meaningful in the community that he and his family call home.

​

One of the main reasons Matt joined the SAFE HOMECARE family is because he wanted to help families navigate the difficult aging process of their loved ones.  Matt experienced this first hand when his grandmother passed away in 2019 while under hospice care.  It was a very sad moment, but knowing that she was peaceful when she passed meant the world to Matt and his family.
 

Our mission aligns with Matt's belief's of wanting to keep loved ones in their own homes as long as possible where they can age comfortably with grace and dignity.  At SAFE HOMECARE we are focused on providing quality service that exceeds our clients  expectations. We truly mean it when we say that we treat your loved ones like our own family, we go above and beyond to help those in need.
