Because the Aker Kasten
Home Health Care Agency is built on the foundation of family
- Dr. Alan B. Aker, his wife, Dr. Ann Kasten Aker, Dr. John B. Aker, and
his wife, Rose Aker - we know the importance of reaching out to those
around us. As members of the Boca Raton Community, our
family wants to touch the lives of other families. So, our family is
involved in a number of ways to help make our community a better place….

someone looking for a talented speaker on topics relating to seniors,
healthcare, home care, care giving, or aging, ask them to contact us at

enjoyed a dynamic speaking career around the world and has a unique gift
for communicating to a varied audience. John has been a featured speaker
at many area houses of worship, women’s conferences, Rotary Clubs and

Director of Nursing Kim
Raymond, RN is also very concerned about the issues many families face
as they explore home health care. With more than thirty years of
healthcare experience and a Bachelor’s in Nursing from FAU, Kim is
invaluable to our AKHHCA Family. Kim and Dr. John Aker often team up to
provide insights and education on matters such as Role of Home Care…When

Health Fairs
AKHHCA often partners with
area churches, synagogues, community centers, condominium associations to
offer free health fairs. Often partnering with The Aker Kasten Eye Center,
we provide FREE Glaucoma and Cataract screenings, plus general health
surveys, nutritional and home safety information and more. Check our
Newsletter for upcoming Health Fairs or,
call us to schedule one at your organization.
Civic Involvement
Members of our staff truly want to help others in our community. At
present, several of our dedicated workers are exploring membership in
reputable charitable organizations. We’ll keep you posted.
Humanitarian Relief
Each of us affirm the
responsibility we have in making a difference. Recently one of our staff
members participated in the Alzheimer’s Association sponsored Memory Walk
to help raise funds for research and education for Alzheimer’s Disease.
This is just one example of our family going the extra mile to help
others.
From time to time, we have an opportunity to make a difference in a
faraway place. Dr. John Aker has been involved in humanitarian efforts for
many years, particularly building and refurbishing Geriatric Centers in
Russia, Ukraine, and Moldova. Recently, a colleague alerted us to the need
for personal items in Haiti after the devastating tropical storms and
hurricanes. We were happy to contribute many, many pounds of goods and
financial assistance to aid these displaced people.
