Happy National Seniors Citizens Day!

Today is National Seniors Citizens Day! Across the country, home health professionals are celebrating our seniors by providing cost effective, clinically advanced care to more than 3.5 million Medicare patients in the setting they prefer.

As Ronald Reagan said when signing the National Seniors Day proclamation:

“We can best demonstrate our gratitude and esteem by making sure that our communities are good places in which to mature and grow older — places in which older people can participate to the fullest and can find the encouragement, acceptance, assistance, and services they need to continue to lead lives of independence and dignity.”

Many healthcare treatments that were only offered in a hospital or a physician’s office when President Reagan signed this proclamation can now be safely, effectively, and efficiently provided in patients’ homes by skilled clinicians.

The home health community is proud to be an active participant in providing the services our seniors need to age in place as so many prefer.
