It is estimated that up to seven million women are unpaid caregivers to the elderly. They struggle to cope with the exhaustion, loneliness, mental and physical demands, and Heartbreak of watching their loved one grow weaker. They need help desperately!

ChoiceCare, Inc. provides an affordable solution for older individuals or couples capable of managing their physical needs, but who require non-medical assistance, light housework, meal preparation and/or companionship in order to remain at home.

According to Regina Khurin, ChoiceCare, Inc. services can be arranged far as little as three hours, or as many as 24 hours, a day. Short term assistance or longer term care is available seven days a week, including holidays. When a potential client calls the company, Ms. Khurin will arrange a meeting with the client and his or her family to discuss what services are needed. “Cost is on an hourly basis so hours can be decreased or increased base on changing needs,” Ms. Khurin said.

One-on-one service to the company’s clients are performed by the caregivers who are thoroughly screened, bonded and insured. Special attention is given to matching caregivers with clients to achieve the utmost compatibility.

“Senior care has become the top problem in our society today as it replaces child care as the number one issue for the men and women in today’s work force.” Ms. Khurin said. “Already people are spending more time caring for or providing for the care of their elderly parents that they did caring for their own children. The problem will only magnify with the aging of the population.”

A census Bureau report released on May 20, 1996 forecasts that the 65 - plus population will grow from one in every eight Americans now to one in every six by 2020 and one in every five by 2050. The fastest-growing segment of the population will be the people ages 85 and older, whose numbers are expected to double to 7 million by 2020.

ChoiceCare, Inc. can help the elderly remain in the comfort of their own homes for much longer periods of time,” said Ms. Khurin.

ChoiceCare, Inc. commitment to their clients is to help Seniors live at home longer. They are committed to providing the highest level of uncompromising, personalized service to all clients so that they can remain in their homes for as long as possible.
