Why Home Care?
There is growing demand for home care services and the reasons for that have to do with tradition, new technology, and with cost effectiveness.
While in-home care is the “oldest” form of elderly care, it is also the “newest.”
There is a significant evidence that elders heal more quickly and remain independent longer with home care and it is the most satisfying form of care available to the American public.
