With a sense of familiarity often only felt with family, Indian River Home Care passionately extends the accessibility of premier nursing, physical therapy, occupational therapy, speech-language pathology, and caregiving services. As the only nurse-owned home health company offering both medical and personal support, clinicians and clients collaborate to create customized care plans, including everything from wound care and IV antibiotics to transportation, housekeeping, meal preparation, and more.
Founded in 2011 by Vero Beach native Margot Kornicks, RN, BSN, MBA, Indian River Home Care revolutionized responsive health care by partnering with insurance companies, and also providing private pay options. Kornicks’ Vanderbilt University education, her oncology expertise from Massachusetts General Hospital, and 15 years of local COO experience enabled her to unite an ambitious team to carry out this highly integrated mission.
Vice President Ruth Stewart, RN, MSN, MBA, not only directed 14 departments at Palm Beach Gardens Medical Center, but her master’s degrees in nursing and business have given her the pragmatic proficiency that led Indian River Home Care’s patient satisfaction rating to 95 percent compared to 85 percent statewide.
Ruth works alongside Director of Clinical Services James Thomas, PT, MBA. James has over 40 years of experience working as a physical therapist, rehab director, case manager, and consultant. Together, Stewart and Thomas oversee the medical services, while Natalie Kornicks Savadge manages personal care coordination as the administrator for the most renowned registry of nursing assistants. Savadge’s master’s degree in journalism and her strong astuteness allows her to comprehensively assess client needs.
