You’re in the right place at the right time – more than 10,000 people turn 65 in the United States every day! Members of the "boomer” generation have created new opportunities in every stage of their lives and as they age this dynamic will not change. Boomers have an overwhelming desire to remain independent and, combined with advances in medicine, they are setting the stage for unprecedented growth in home health care and assisted living communities.

Health care – the most dynamic, recession-
resistant market for decades to come!
Health care is the largest industry in the United States, and seniors are the fastest growing segment of the population.
Approximately 7.6 million people in the US require some form of home health care, according to research published by the University of Alabama (UAB).
The trend toward community-based services as opposed to nursing home placement was formalized with the Olmstead Decision (July, 1999), in which the Supreme Court upheld the right of individuals to receive care in the community as opposed to an institution whenever possible.
