That's a headline I wanted to share with you. I just read it on the cover of our 2012 promotional desk calendar. Please send me an email with your name and mailing address if you'd like one! sharna.fulton@att.net

Do you find it inspiring? I hope you do since you're most likely one of the team members who contribute to the well-being of our senior population. Do you recognize yourself as one of these key players? 

• A family member who serves as the primary caregiver and who the senior can depend on. 
• A social worker who sees that her patient has all that he needs before leaving a rehab facility.  
• A hospital case manager who assesses the senior patient's situation and lays out a comprehensive care plan before she is discharged and sent home.  
• The representative at the home care service, such as ours, that speaks with the family who was referred more often than not by that case manager or social worker. That person, then coordinates the in-home care with the patient and family.
• Then, of course, there's the caregiver(s) assigned to the care of that patient. Working from a carefully designed plan and schedule, she tends to the specific physical and emotional needs of the patient.
