But hey life happens. We are currently working on revising our website, and all of our literature so that keeps us pretty busy. We are still waiting on our snowbirds to fly south for the winter and are hoping the economy recovers as fast as possible. It is unfortunate that there are so many people looking for work, but if you are looking for home care that means that there are many, many excellent caregivers available. <div><br /></div><div>We have partnered with Cares to help promote their suicide prevention program and had our first class today. If you have any questions about the QPR "Question, Persuade, Refer" classes just e mail us. It is designed to educate individuals how to identify at risk individuals and how to get them help.</div><div><br /></div><div>I am a little embarrassed that as a nurse I was not fully aware of the resources offered for those contemplating suicide or those looking to assist them. Please visit the CARES website to learn more. </div><div><br /></div><div>www.caresprevention.org</div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3147850707476149603-3005820904085323015?l=abbyservices.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>scotthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14112328546140955000noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3147850707476149603.post-63455045591613995352009-02-12T08:34:00.000-08:002009-02-12T08:41:14.630-08:00Met Life publishes a report annually listing the costs for Home Health Care broken down by region. I have included a link to the report and are proud to say that our rates are well below both the national average and the regional average. We pride ourselves on being the most cost efficient Home Care option with the best service. Heres a link to the report to see for yourself. <a href="http://www.metlife.com/assets/cao/mmi/publications/studies/mmi-studies-2008-adshc.pdf">http://www.metlife.com/assets/cao/mmi/publications/studies/mmi-studies-2008-adshc.pdf</a><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3147850707476149603-6345504559161399535?l=abbyservices.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>scotthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14112328546140955000noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3147850707476149603.post-16060081260721090822009-01-12T07:24:00.000-08:002009-01-12T07:27:00.330-08:00I found an excellent website that reviews a little known Veteran Benifit that pays for the services we offer.

I was looking for information online about Home Healthcare and stumbled across this site that had some excellent information. Although geared toward medicare it was informative. It includes things you should consider when selecting a Home Healthcare service which should be particularly interesting for those of you trying to decide who to trust to care for your loved ones.
