NEW YORK, NY, October 26, 2016 /24-7PressRelease/ -- Caring People, an experienced and passionate home care agency opened their new location this month. Now servicing the Westchester area, caregivers utilize technology allowing the agency to be virtually connected with loved ones while receiving real-time healthcare updates.
Caring People equips clients with tablet computers, connecting seniors, families, and healthcare professionals together. Software allows for advanced coordination of elderly care services and facilitates the client's active engagement in family life. Simple things like medication reminders, scheduling appointments, transportation, and overnight care become easier for families to manage.
It is estimated that in the USA over one million seniors receive some form of in-home healthcare everyday . Elderly care services can range from assistance with daily living (transportation, laundry, and meal preparation), to therapeutic and medical services (including post-surgery care and physical therapy), to longer term support for seniors facing the onset of dementia and Alzheimer's. In 2013, it was estimated that 31.4% of home health agency patients were receiving some level of treatment for these neurodegenerative diseases . In-home care allows seniors to continue their regular lifestyle with comfort and dignity.
Founder Hannah Shulman began providing elderly care services out of her home in the Flushing neighbourhood of Queens, NY. Growing the company with the need for exceptional senior homecare, Shulman's grandson Steven East worked with and eventually succeeded Hannah as Caring People's CEO and President.
Expanding to provide elderly companion care to clients across New York and New Jersey, East opened additional locations in Florida in response to clients' requests for caregiver continuity while they wintered a warmer climate. CaringOnDemand was created to help families maintain social connections, give families a way to connect to loved ones overall health, as well as helping clients maintain consistent care.
"We opened our new location in the Bronx to expand and offer seniors in Westchester the same care we have been providing for over 20 years in other communities," said Adinah East, MPA, VP Quality Improvement for Caring People Inc. "We've vetted and trained the best licensed caregivers, LPNs and RNs to ensure seniors and families have the best care experience and can continue to live active, engaged lives."
