Care Partners Home Care Joins SeniorBridge
(NEW YORK, NEW YORK), June 26, 2009 - SeniorBridge, a provider of professional services for individuals requiring care for chronic health conditions, is expanding its business in Central Florida. It has acquired Care Partners Home Care, a well-established home care company headquartered in Orlando, Florida. This acquisition makes SeniorBridge one of the largest providers of home-based health care in the state.
Care Partners Home Care has an exceptional reputation for providing compassionate, reliable, and high-quality services to the Central Florida area. “The highly-qualified and trained caregivers at Care Partners Home Care are dedicated to enabling people with chronic health conditions to maintain their quality of life and remain safely at home or in the residence of their choice,” said Eric Rackow, M.D., President and Chief Executive Officer of SeniorBridge. “This partnership will allow us to further expand our ability to support clients with complex care needs in Florida.” SeniorBridge is extremely pleased that Sara Goldberg, CSA, Founder, is staying with the company as Professional Development Specialist. Prior to founding Care Partners Home Care, Ms. Goldberg was co-founder of Senior Living Guides of Florida. She graduated from the University of Houston with a BA in Hotel and Restaurant Management and is a Certified Senior Advisor.
The SeniorBridge integrated system of care in the home encompasses the full range of services. A multidisciplinary care team provides coordinated in-home services, including nursing, psychosocial support, personal care, companionship, and enhancement of wellness to maximize client health. Clinical research has shown that this approach can lead to reduced emergency room visits, unnecessary hospital admissions, and institutionalization for patients with complex chronic conditions. Families experience more peace of mind while individuals are more likely to remain at home with quality of life.
