Our take
Longer life expectancy and an aging population has resulted in the significant growth of the home-based care industry, as nearly 90% of people over the age of 50 wish to live in their homes as long as possible.

The company currently provides non-medical home care services to people across the United States, supporting over 100,000 care professionals.
