Home Health Care News Feature – How The Home-Focused Careforth Reduces ED Visits, Falls Through Family Caregiver Support
We’re incredibly honored to not only support family caregivers, but also ensure loved ones receiving care are healthy and able to stay at home longer!
Last week, Home Health Care News published an article shedding light on the importance of Careforth’s Structured Family Caregiving program in improving health outcomes and reducing health care costs. We’re proud to be at the forefront of this important work.
