Lights, Cameras, Action
There are always lots of unusual, new & great things that happen in the home care business but one of the more fun & interesting events that has ever happened to Home Care Matters & our team was when Hollywood came to Flowery Branch! The Hollywood team came to scout out many of the town locations & businesses to shoot scenes for their new sequel. How fun is that?? They selected several locations for scenes that included Home Care Matters, Liberty Candy, Lakeside Market, & Southern Grace. We all said ‘YES’ & then, as they say, ‘ACTION’!
The movie is a sequel to a thriller also filmed in Flowery Branch about a year ago called, “Along Came the Devil’. This year’s sequel is “Along Came the Devil 2’ & s said to be scarier than the original & set to come out this fall. Both films are written, directed & produced by Heather & Jason DeVan.
Heather DeVan, is also one of the co-stars of both films. Also co-starring is veteran Hollywood actor, Bruce Davison (of X Men series fame, a Golden Globe nominee & has a host of other film credits) Mr. Davison was also a co-star in the first film.
SO, if you love scary, horror, & thriller movies be sure to look for this one this fall!

Valerie has the unique experience with home care as she has experienced it from both ends of the spectrum, as a caregiver and as needing care herself as a cancer survivor. Valerie says, “Taking care of someone you love is a physically, mentally and demanding labor of love.Taking care of my mom was the hardest thing I have ever done. It has given me an insight and perspective not many people understand unless you are doing it or have done it.I loved taking care of my mom.I love helping others take care of their love ones too.And now that I’ve been sick, it’s given me a whole new level of empathy and understanding for those who are sick and need help.”
Valerie’s schedule varies daily, but she loves visiting with our clients, families, caregivers, our network partners and being in the office.Says Valerie, “Every day is different, but I wake up excited about what we do, inspired by our team, clients and caregivers.I strive to be a resource to the community.I love my team and I love what we do every day. I like to think my mom would be proud.”
