Meet Mike and Justin Acuna of Second Home

Today we’d like to introduce you to Mike and Justin Acuna.

Mike and Justin, please share your story with us. How did you get to where you are today?
As a family, we started Second Home because we experienced the difficulty of searching for senior housing.

It was never a topic of discussion in our family because our priority was to keep our loved one at home. As time went on, we realized that the reality of staying home was going to have to change. Unfortunately, we couldn’t keep up with the financial, emotional, and physical requirements. So, it was time to consider senior housing. What we found was that we were in the dark about senior housing regulations, costs, contracts, and services.

After a stressful and time-consuming search, we realized that families like ours would benefit from a personalized service. A service that would assist from start to finish and provide comprehensive solutions with compassion, education, and long-term solutions.

Overall, has it been relatively smooth? If not, what were some of the struggles along the way?
I always say that starting a business is tough, but starting a family business is even tougher. Transitioning from brothers to partners was a huge learning curve, but we have to learned to be more respectful and honest with each other. It truly has grown our relationship.

Alright – so let’s talk business. Tell us about Second Home – what should we know?
The search for senior housing can be time-consuming and stressful. Evaluating senior housing options can seem overwhelming – it’s easy to become frustrated and confused by all the different amenities, services, and pricing options. At Second Home, we provide clients with a level of service tailored specifically to their needs.

When you work with us, we will help you:

Save Money – With our extensive knowledge of the local market.
Save Time – Due to our comprehensive research.
Reduce Anxiety – By empowering you with senior housing education.
Alleviate Stress – By providing other local senior care resources.

You won’t have to:

Waste Time – By spending countless hours searching on the internet.
Question Safety – Because we provide you with any current State infractions.
Feel Unprepared – Because we provide you with our ‘Senior Housing 101’ guide.
Get Frustrated – By sales calls day and night because we act as your representative.

In order to give back we donate $200 of each client helped to a local nonprofit that assists seniors.

Any shoutouts? Who else deserves credit in this story – who has played a meaningful role?
My mother. She is a Nurse Care Manager with a local nonprofit that serves lower income seniors and helping them stay home as long as possible.

After our family went through our own senior housing search, I was able to learn so much from her and what it takes to truly help a family in need.
