A family-driven vision for senior care.

Rodney Nicolas brings decades of experience in healthcare operations, technology leadership, military service, business development, and entrepreneurship to Boca Raton Adult Day Care. His professional and personal journey reflects a lifelong commitment to leadership, service, family, and building organizations that create meaningful impact within the communities they serve.

A proud United States Army Infantry veteran, Rodney developed his foundation of discipline, accountability, teamwork, and leadership through military service. His time in the Army helped shape the values that continue to guide him today — the belief that protecting and serving others should always be grounded in compassion, integrity, structure, and respect.

A longtime Boca Raton resident, Rodney earned his degree in Management Information Systems from the University of South Florida, combining technology, business strategy, and systems leadership with a passion for innovation and organizational development.

Before becoming an entrepreneur, Rodney built an accomplished career in healthcare technology and executive leadership. He spent approximately 17 years with Ascension Health, one of the nation's largest Catholic healthcare systems, where he advanced through progressive leadership roles in Information Technology and Project Management. During his years with Ascension Health, Rodney helped lead healthcare technology initiatives, operational systems, and enterprise-wide projects designed to strengthen infrastructure, improve efficiency, and support healthcare delivery. His background in IT Project Management allowed him to oversee complex systems, coordinate multidisciplinary teams, and implement operational solutions that supported both healthcare professionals and patient care environments.

Through years of dedication and leadership, Rodney later advanced into Vice President-level Information Technology leadership, where he helped oversee technology strategy, operational systems, and healthcare infrastructure within a large, mission-driven healthcare organization. His experience working within a Catholic healthcare system strengthened his belief that operational excellence and compassionate service must work together to effectively support patients, families, and communities.

Rodney later transitioned into entrepreneurship, where he successfully developed and operated businesses across healthcare, franchising, and community-focused services. Throughout his career, he has owned, partnered in, or helped develop:

• Three integrated pharmacies and healthcare clinics serving Miami-Dade, Broward, and Palm Beach County
• An ABA clinic focused on behavioral and supportive services
• Three Subway franchise locations in Palm Beach County, including Gateway Boulevard, Delray Beach, and Okeechobee Boulevard
• Multiple healthcare and service-based ventures focused on operations, leadership, and community impact

These experiences provided Rodney with extensive knowledge and hands-on leadership in:

• Healthcare operations and administration
• Business ownership and development
• Technology systems and infrastructure
• Staffing and team leadership
• Regulatory and operational oversight
• Strategic planning and organizational growth
• Patient and customer experience
• Systems management and operational efficiency
• Community-centered service and business development

Beyond his professional accomplishments, Rodney is a devoted husband of more than 25 years and proud father of four children. Family remains at the center of his life and leadership philosophy, shaping the values of compassion, responsibility, stability, and support that guide both his personal and professional decisions.

His passion for adult day care and senior services is deeply personal. Rodney witnessed firsthand the impact of Alzheimer's disease and dementia through his grandfather's condition. He watched his mother step into the demanding role of caregiver and experienced the emotional, physical, and daily responsibilities caregiving places upon families. Seeing someone he loved decline while watching his mother carry the burden of care gave him a profound understanding of the sacrifices caregivers make and the support families often need — but often struggle to find.

That personal experience became one of the driving forces behind Boca Raton Adult Day Care. Today, Rodney has partnered with his son to help build a center designed not only to support seniors and adults with supportive needs, but also to provide caregivers with relief, reassurance, and peace of mind.

His vision is to create more than a facility — it is to build a compassionate, structured, and welcoming environment where seniors are treated with dignity, patience, respect, and meaningful engagement, while families gain confidence knowing their loved ones are cared for in a safe, enriching, and professionally guided setting.

For Rodney, Boca Raton Adult Day Care represents more than a business venture. It reflects a lifelong mission grounded in service, leadership, healthcare experience, entrepreneurship, family values, and the belief that every individual deserves to age with dignity, purpose, and compassionate support.

Juvanni Lafleur brings valuable healthcare experience and a deep passion for serving seniors and individuals with supportive needs. Through his work in oncology at AdventHealth Hospital in Orlando, he has witnessed firsthand the importance of compassionate care, patient advocacy, emotional support, and coordinated services during some of life's most vulnerable moments. His experience working alongside patients and families has strengthened his commitment to helping others navigate healthcare and aging with dignity, empathy, and respect.

Juvanni's passion for elderly care developed through recognizing the growing challenges many families face when caring for aging loved ones and individuals living with disabilities or chronic health conditions. He understands that families often need more than supervision — they need trusted support, meaningful engagement, dependable care, and peace of mind knowing their loved ones are in a safe and compassionate environment.

He believes aging should never mean losing dignity, connection, or purpose. His vision for Boca Raton Adult Day Care extends beyond traditional care services by helping create a welcoming and engaging environment where seniors feel valued, respected, socially connected, and encouraged to maintain the highest quality of life possible.

Through his healthcare experience and dedication to service, Juvanni remains focused on helping bridge the gap between care, wellness, family support, and community connection. His goal is to help build a center where caregivers receive relief, families feel supported, and participants are treated with patience, kindness, professionalism, and individualized attention — creating a place where lives are enriched, relationships are strengthened, and compassionate care remains at the heart of everything we do.
