Home Helpers & Direct Link of Hillsborough, FL Fills Growing Need for Home Health Care

Nation’s Leading Senior Care Franchise Offers Affordable Alternative to Assisted Living or Nursing Care Facilities
 
Feb. 19, 2013 - PRLog -- CINCINNATI – As more than 70 million Americans will reach age 65 in the next two decades, the need for in-home senior care continues to soar. Local entrepreneurs Bruce and Carla Peebles are lending a helping hand by launching a local home care agency to meet the needs of residents in Hillsborough, FL and the surrounding areas.

As part of the nation’s leading franchise specializing in comprehensive home care for seniors, new mothers and other individuals needing recuperative and continuing care, Home Helpers & Direct Link of Hillsborough, FL began serving the local community on February 4th.

Mr. Peebles has 25 years of experience in project management and business services. He has a BA in Management and a MBA in Business, as well as a Community Association Manager license and is also a certified assisted living facility administrator. Mrs. Peebles has 25 years of experience in office management and customer service. The two were inspired to join Home Helpers by their own personal experiences taking care of loved ones. Mrs. Peebles took care of her mother for six and a half years prior to her passing, and Mr. Peebles is currently co-caretaker of both of his parents.

“We strive to deliver the same quality of care we’d expect for our own families while offering clients a more affordable alternative to assisted living or nursing care facilities,” Mr. Peebles said.  

Mrs. Peebles added, “I’m pleased about the opportunity to help local seniors lead healthier, happier and more fulfilling lives in the comfort of their own homes.”
                                                                                               
Home Helpers offers free in-home consultations and works with clients one-on-one to tailor a flexible care plan to meet their specific needs and budgets. Services offered include companionship, meal preparation, transportation, and medication management, vital signs monitoring and care management.

Direct Link’s exclusive line of medical alert systems are monitored 24/7 by a CSAA 5-Diamond Certified Care Center, enabling seniors to live independently at home for as long as safely possible. The Direct Link product suite includes land-line and cellular personal emergency response systems (PERS), automated medication dispensers, GPS client-tracking Care Watch and remote vital signs monitoring units. If a Direct Link unit is activated or a reading is abnormal, the device alerts Home Helpers staff, 911 or any pre-established contacts, thereby easing family anxieties and maximizing client independence.

“In a society where family members sometimes live hundreds of miles from each other, Home Helpers & Direct Link can step in to fill the role of a good neighbor,” Mrs. Peebles said. “Because our clients decide how often they need us and what services we can provide for them, it allows Home Helpers & Direct Link to offer affordable and convenient choices based on client specific requirements.”
