During the month of November, which is National Home Care and Hospice Month, Nursefinders, Inc. salutes their caregivers who give so much of themselves to their patients.

Nursefinders places nurses, aides and therapists through more than 30 home care offices across America. “Home care is one of the fastest growing sectors of healthcare in our country,” said Pam Wendt, Nursefinders Chief Nursing Officer. “With an aging population this growth is expected to increase.”

“Seeking home care help through an experienced agency is a good way to ease the extra workload that many family care providers face,” said Wendt. “Oftentimes, seeking outside help, even on a limited basis, is a way for families to keep up with the demands of healthcare at home.”

More than 7.5 million Americans receive healthcare in their homes each day from nearly one million caregivers. Home care professionals make it possible for an ill, handicapped or elderly person to be surrounded by loved ones and to remain in a comforting home setting.
