Types of Home Care
My name is Judine Lynch, and I have been providing care and staffing since 1987. Each month I write an article about in-home care for Senior Advisement.com and have posted it in Gwinnett Citizen I provide information on home care and resources available to people of all ages with constraints and the frail older population. I am not a scientist, nor a mathematician nor can I claim to know it all, but I will work my hardest to get important information to share with readers. If you have any questions about home care and the resources available, please submit them to [email protected]. I will be happy to share what I know, answer your questions, or research the information you need.
