Athome Eldercare

Our Story Today some 50 million Elderly Americans are being cared for at home by family members, who often need help, but cannot find reliable resources. Many others, particularly seniors, would prefer to stay at home as they become less able to care for themselves, but lack family close by or able to help them on a daily basis (7 million seniors live more than 100 miles from family). These numbers are expected to increase rapidly over the next twenty years or so as the Baby Boom generation ages. 10,000 people a day are turning 65! To meet this burgeoning need, a home care industry – medical and non-medical – is rapidly developing. For many of the people who do not require skilled nursing care or want their family members caring for them, the best option is a non-medical home care service. These services provide companionship and/or help with daily activities such as bathing, driving, nutritious meal preparation, medication reminders, dressing and grooming assistance — from a few hours per day to 24/7.
