The Story Behind Executive Home Care of Stratford
The foundation of Executive Home Care of Stratford is deeply rooted in family, compassion, and personal experience. Long before entering the home care industry, the Savoie family—Michael, his sister Robin, and their mother Camille—were well-known in the community as local business owners. For 27 years, they successfully operated two family-run restaurants, building strong relationships and a reputation for hard work, hospitality, and care.
Their transition from the restaurant industry to home care was not one made lightly—it was born from profound personal loss and caregiving experience. Within a short period of time, the family endured the passing of several loved ones, including Camille’s husband and Michael and Robin’s father, who passed away at the age of 55. During his illness, Camille served as his primary caregiver around the clock. His condition was physically demanding and emotionally draining, requiring constant support and attention. Even during his hospital stays, when restraints were suggested for his safety, Camille remained by his side, day and night, to ensure he was never alone and always treated with dignity.
Her strength and devotion left a lasting impression on her children. Camille’s experiences in caregiving, combined with her unwavering compassion, led her to encourage Michael and Robin to consider a new path—one where their shared empathy and love for seniors could truly make a difference. Inspired by their mother’s resilience and guided by a desire to help other families facing similar challenges, the Savoies made the decision to open Executive Home Care in 2014.
Since then, their commitment to delivering compassionate, reliable care has never wavered. Becoming part of the home care community has proven to be a deeply meaningful and rewarding journey for the family. Though the decision came through hardship, it has become a source of healing, purpose, and pride. Today, their legacy of service continues to be felt by every client, family, and caregiver they’ve touched through their work.

Executive Home Care of Stratford is proud to begin a new chapter under the leadership of Al Criscuolo, a dedicated professional with a lifelong commitment to compassionate, high-quality care. With Al stepping in as the new owner, our mission remains the same: to provide dependable, dignified in-home care that families can trust.
Al brings a wealth of experience in healthcare, beginning his journey as a home care agency administrator after earning his Bachelor of Science in Accounting from Central Connecticut State University. From those early days working directly with clients and caregivers, Al was inspired to expand his impact. Over the years, he held national leadership roles within major hospital systems, helping to integrate home health services into broader care models and reinforcing the importance of coordinated, community-based care.
His professional path also includes a Master in Health Care Administration and an MBA in Finance—credentials that reflect his strong foundation in strategy, operations, and thoughtful leadership. Throughout his career, Al has remained grounded in the values of empathy, respect, and trust. His approach to care is shaped not only by experience, but by a deep understanding of the importance of relationships—with clients, families, care teams, and community partners.
The transition of ownership from Michael and Robin, who founded the agency in 2014 after years of successful business experience and personal caregiving insight, has been planned with care and intention. Their shared values and connection with Al have made for a natural transition. Working together, they’ve ensured that the spirit of the agency—and the quality of care it provides—remains strong and consistent.
As Executive Home Care of Stratford moves forward with Al at the helm, we remain deeply grateful for the opportunity to serve our community. The commitment to delivering care with compassion, dignity, and excellence will always be at the heart of everything we do.
