About Faye Markos-Leach, Founder of HeyFaye in Flagler County, FL
Helping others is when I'm happiest
Helping others brings me a sense of purpose. I'm honored to provide dependable local support that helps seniors remain independent while giving their families reassurance and confidence.
Why Families Choose Faye Markos-Leach
My name is Faye Markos-Leach and I started HeyFaye because I understand how important it is for seniors to remain independent in their retirement for as long as possible while sympathizing with their adult children who feel guilty because they are busy raising their own families in other states.
After my parents moved from Long Island to Flagler Beach, I felt obligated to move closer to them when everyday tasks became more difficult. Seeing how happy and relieved this made my parents and siblings feel, I had a vision to help other out-of-state families enjoy the same reassurance and relief.
Just knowing someone trustworthy is there to help was a weight off all of our shoulders.
I sympathize how you can't always come rushing to your parents' aid when menial tasks disrupt their comfort and safety. There were many times I wished someone could help my aging parents in Florida while I was raising my own family over 1,000 miles away. Our schedules made bringing the whole family to Florida for just a long weekend practically impossible. Getting time off from work and school was always a problem, and my family didn't want me to travel alone.
HeyFaye gives me the opportunity and privilege to help senior citizens remain independent while relieving their out-of-state adult children of the guilt of not always being around.
The confidence you get knowing that someone trustworthy is local and available when you can't be there is invaluable.
Hiring HeyFaye assures you can have guilt-free confidence that your parents are OK without having to visit every month. Hiring an elder care concierge assistant means you don't have to spend thousands of dollars in airline tickets, hotels, lodging, take-out food, rental cars and gas.
Your family vacations no longer have to center around tending to your parents' honey-do lists. Your kids don't have to miss school. You don't have to miss seeing their school events. And you and your spouse don't have to burn valuable vacation days going back and forth to Florida every time the news says a hurricane is heading towards Flagler County.
Think of me as the "boots on the ground" sibling you wish lived near your retired parents.

A Personal Note
When I was living on Long Island, my parents retired and moved to Florida. It worried me that they were moving so far away from family, but I was happy that they at least had each other. Before long, they were needing help with everyday errands, and eventually I moved to Ocala to be closer. But Ocala was still too far, especially after my father passed away, and my mom was by herself for the first time in her life.
Having seen firsthand how hard it was for my mom to be on her own after decades of marriage, I decided to move to Palm Coast so I could help her with occasional, but important, tasks. Most seniors don't want someone to take over their lives, they simply want a little extra support so they can continue enjoying the retirement they spent their whole lives building.
I created HeyFaye because I believe every family deserves the peace of mind that comes from knowing someone caring and dependable is living nearby.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do you provide medical care?
No. HeyFaye does not provide medical care or personal care. I help with everyday tasks and coordination so your loved one can remain independent in their homes, delaying the need for a retirement home until medical care is required.
Will I work directly with Faye?
Yes. You will always communicate and work directly with me. I do not use a call center, nor do I have an outside team. I tend to all matters personally during my scheduled visits and calls.
Do you attend appointments?
No. I do not attend appointments or personally drive them to the appointment, but I can schedule the appointments, send reminders, arrange an Uber or set up rideshare apps on their mobile phones.
I can also be there personally for service visits of any nature that are at your parents' home.
Is this like home healthcare?
No. HeyFaye is not a medical provider or a residential facility. I provide non-medical support to help seniors live independently in their homes. Think of me as of having a sibling nearby to handle household logistics and knowing when it's officially time to get extra help.
Is it OK I don't live in Florida?
I started HeyFaye for adult children concerned about their elderly parents living alone in Florida while they continue living their own lives in another state. Many of my clients live out of state, and I provide support and updates to them for less than the cost of a single plane ticket.
How often will I receive updates?
Update frequency depends on the plan you choose. Once that's established, I'll work with you to determine a reliable schedule of visits, errands and updates that will bring you peace of mind knowing your parents are in good hands when you can't be there to help everyday.
If your parent lives in Palm Coast, Flagler Beach or Ormond Beach, HeyFaye can help with numerous tasks like making medical appointments, arranging home repairs, grocery shopping and unloading, pharmacy pickups, bringing in packages, managing deliveries, sending greeting cards to grandkids and other everyday errands—while keeping you informed every step of the way.
