For the final week of National Care at Home Month, we are celebrating Private Duty Home Care Week! Private duty home care is a subset of general home care where caregivers can provide a broad range of services, from medical and nursing care to bill paying and transportation services. Their goal is to provide whatever the individual and their loved ones need to remain independent wherever they call home. This week we celebrate home care providers and the role they play in enabling millions across the country to continue living their life to the fullest. #HomeCare #CAHM #StrongerTogether?

This National Care at Home Month, I’d like to thank our incredible #TX24 care-at-home community for their work to ensure our most vulnerable populations receive high-quality, compassionate care. National Association for Home Care & Hospice National Alliance for Care at Home
