The media constantly tell us that seniors wish to remain in their own homes. As we have learned from recent history staying at home is also the safest place to be. At the same time the cost of retirement and nursing homes is rising and demand is outpacing availability. We believe there is a critical need for high quality, in-home services as well information, easily accessible, to assist those who wish to stay at home safely and comfortably.
