Home Health Care News: "Calm Before the Storm: In-Home Care Providers Brace for COVID-19 Surge"

"But if there’s anything the past few weeks have taught the industry — and the country as a whole — it’s that the COVID-19 emergency is unpredictable and agencies have to be ready for anything, according to Sean Kajcienski, chief operating officer (COO) and chief revenue officer (CRO) of Best Life Brands, the parent company of ComForCare and At Your Side, which are franchised non-medical home care brands.

  • "Patricia has been great with my 93 year old mother!"
    She's creative and just seems to know what my mother needs and wants. She's a great aid to me knowing doctors visits, prescription pick-up and grocery runs are all taken care of - big load off my mind and schedule.
  • "The owners and nurse are fantastic!"
    Always willing to take calls from my Mom and explain things in a way she and I can understand. Also walked us through the insurance process. That was not easy and their expertise was greatly appreciated.
  • "ComForCare has given me peace of mind!"
    The fact that ComForCare was able to step in with certified dementia care specialists and begin caring for my father has been fantastic. The staff and caregivers are both sympathetic and empathetic and I feel it has helped my father during this difficult time. It has also given me peace of mind since I live a long distance from my father, and the communication from staff and caregivers is reassuring.

Coping with Covid

Under any given circumstances, we do our best to balance the demands of keeping those we care for safe and healthy with our other responsibilities to family, work and community. The current COVID-19 pandemic has significantly altered how we are able to best support older adults.
