disabled, elderly, and chronically ill individuals eager to live independently in their own
homes as long as they possibly can, and
Whereas, home care services allow families to stay together and provide for greater
health, dignity, and comfort in our communities, and
Whereas,home care in the United States is a growing alternative to hospitalization or
other institution-based forms of health care for acute and chronic illnesses, providing care
to millions of Americans each year, and
Whereas, thousands of everyday heroes such as home care nurses, therapists and aides
work tirelessly to provide professional health and palliative care and support to millions
of Americans in need of quality health services, and
Whereas, these dedicated home care professionals and volunteers form a support
network that continues to play a vital role in health care delivery for our nation's disabled,
infirm, and aging population, and
