Home Care Assistance - Halton / Peel Region, a Top Provider of In-Home Care, Reacts to Forbes Report Stating Future Is in Home Health Care
Toronto, Canada (PRWEB) June 11, 2014 -- Home Care Assistance - Halton / Peel Region (http://www.GreaterTorontoHomeCare.ca), the area’s leading provider of non-medical, in-home senior care, is releasing its expert opinion on a recent story suggesting that home health care is becoming a sought-after industry.
The story details Kindred Heath Care, a $5.0-billion U.S. company that is completely shifting its initiative to accommodate elder health care at home rather than hospitals or nursing homes. Previously earning half of its revenue from nursing homes and rehab centres, this number has dropped to one-fifth as the company makes the push towards home health care, with earnings from its recent home care service quadrupling in just two years, from $60 million in 2011 to $225 million in 2013.
