SUNRISE, Fla. — In honor of the nation’s home care professionals and volunteers, Interim HealthCare will join home care providers throughout the United States in kicking off the November celebration of National Home Care Month. The month-long celebration pays tribute to the dedicated home care professionals and volunteers who enable elderly, disabled, and chronically ill individuals to live their lives where they want to most-in their own homes. Recognizing the “outstanding performance in a caring role” at-home caregivers provide, Interim HealthCare has creatively developed Home Care month materials with movie awards thematic.
“The vast majority of people faced with disability or illness would obviously prefer to remain at home instead of in a hospital or institution,” said Kathleen Gilmartin, CEO of Interim HealthCare. “Home care professionals and volunteers provide the high quality health care and the close, personal contact that allows that to happen.”
Interim HealthCare launched its Home Care Month festivities November 1st and runs the entire month.
