Rose Glamoclija, RN
Private-Duty Home Care
Growing up, Rose Glamoclija, RN, always felt an affinity for the elderly. Even as a child, she preferred the company of her grandmother’s friends over that of children her own age. So, when Glamoclija told her grandmother that she wanted to be a nurse, the woman she calls “my mentor” encouraged her to follow that dream.
After working as a critical care nurse and care manager, Glamoclija launched Boca Nursing Services, Inc., a concierge private duty home care company that has served Palm Beach, Broward, Martin and St. Lucie counties for the last 30 years. The company is family owned. Her two sons handle the business aspects while she focuses on the caregiving.
Clients can call on RNs, LPNs, CNAs, aides and therapists to provide them with care. Boca Nursing Services offers hourly and around-the-clock care as well as live-in, visiting nurses and medication management. Each client receives tailored care and personalized service based on their individual needs.
Because she is a nurse, Glamoclija’s expectations of those whom she hires are very high. Her dedication and attention to detail have paid off. Many of the healthcare professionals who work for Boca Nursing Services have been with her since she opened her doors.
“I have been fortunate to be blessed with so many wonderful, caring professionals,” she says.
All of her employees are licensed, insured and bonded and have undergone thorough criminal background checks. And Glamoclija says she personally gets to know those whom she hires and instills in them her personal philosophy: to care for every individual with kindness, dignity and respect.
That care can be seen in the number of patients who have come to rely on her company for many years.
“I have a lot of long-term patients; some I have had for 20-plus years. This tells you how well these people are cared for,” says Glamoclija.
