Innovation is Alive and Well in the Elder Care Business… If One Knows Where to Look

The trend is clear: most seniors want to live at home. Innovation and creativity are needed to transform the fundamentals of private-pay service delivery. Private-pay home care is a fast-growing, labor-intensive business. How can the industry manage growth and the constant demand for labor in a market that is expected to explode as the first crop of baby boomers face both their own needs and the needs of their parents?

The trend is clear: most seniors want to live at home. Innovation and creativity are needed to transform the fundamentals of private-pay service delivery. Private-pay home care is a fast-growing, labor-intensive business. How can the industry manage growth and the constant demand for labor in a market that is expected to explode as the first crop of baby boomers face both their own needs and the needs of their parents?

To meet this new and growing need, innovative businesses are changing the elder care market through an entrepreneurial approach to service delivery evidenced by a customer-driven approach that returns a sense of control to adult children and their elderly parents.

HouseWorks is an elder care company dedicated to helping seniors live independently, no matter how challenging the circumstances. Honored by SBANE as a finalist in the 2006 New England Innovation Awards, HouseWorks’ message is a powerful one: you must exceed the expectations of your customers by providing reliable and responsive services.
