Caregivers help with sometimes-dangerous everyday

tasks like cleaning and laundry and serve as an extra set of

“eyes and ears” in the home.

Caregivers work to keep seniors healthy by ensuring seniors follow medication regimes and by preparing nutritious meals.

Caring for America’s Seniors:

America’s population is aging rapidly.

More Americans are requiring care than ever before.

Seniors want to stay in their own homes, but gaps in the care continuum are emerging.

Home care is a valuable solution in this changing health care continuum.
