Careers in Aging Week is celebrated every year to recognize the numerous opportunities available in aging services. This year, March 26 - April 1st is dedicated for Careers in Aging Week. It is important to acknowledge the critical role that home care providers play in ensuring the well-being of our aging population. With a growing elderly population, the demand for home care services is increasing rapidly and creating many career opportunities within home care.

Receiving in-home care services has never been easier but not all senior services are alike. What are the reasons you may be looking for home care? Maybe it is a recent medical episode, management of a chronic illness, or caregiver burnout.

Statistics show that over 77% of people over the age of 50 want to remain in their homes as they are aging. Home care providers have stepped up to this challenge as the over 65 population (think Baby Boomers) is growing in size and are providing more opportunities for care and assistance at home than ever before.

Home care is healthcare provided by any professional support service that helps ensure a person can live safely in their own home and consists of a large range of services that can help those who are aging and need assistance to live as independently as possible, assist with chronic care management, recovery from a surgery or medical setback, or has a disability.
