It’s hard to believe that 2015 is coming to an end in just a few short days. But even more incredible is the remarkable events and news stories that took place in just the last 12 months. Think back to last New Year’s Eve. Where were you? You might not even live in the same state anymore. Who were you with? You might not have seen them since. Do you remember what you were wearing? It’s lost in the back of your closet somewhere. One year can change a lot of things and the same is true at a home care agency.
2015 was a great year for all the home care professionals at Best Home Care. While the landscape of the home health care industry saw many changes, we are proud to say that we had one of our best years in business to date. Throughout 2015, we had many exciting moments for our company. Here’s just a quick snapshot of the past year at our home care agency:
