Saddleback Home Caregivers Celebrates A Quarter Century of Service to Orange County

Laguna Hills, Calif.— Sept. 20, 2007 — Saddleback Home Caregivers is commemorating a quarter century of service to Orange County with a luncheon celebration on September 28, 2007 at their corporate offices in Laguna Hills.

“We are excited about reaching this milestone. The growth we have experienced has been tremendous and is directly attributed to the dedication of our care providers. We are thankful and will continue to work to help the community,” says Rejoyce Wilson-Herbert, general manager, Saddleback Home Care Givers.

The home health care industry continues to grow as people continue to live longer. According to the California Association for Health Services at Home (CAHSAH), home health providers visited more than one million homes in California last year. Research is showing that home care is not only a less expensive option to a hospital stay, but seniors and the long-term disabled are able to remain in the comfort of their home and experience a better quality of life.

“The best part of being a SHC client is the help I get from my caregivers. They always know what I need and what’s best for me. They have made my life easier and better,” says long-time client Irma Feldcamp.

As one of the oldest providers of in-home care services, Saddleback Home Caregivers began operations with just twelve employees and a handful of clients. Today, Saddleback has more than 100 employees and has increased its client base by more than 600%.

The luncheon includes hors d’oeouvres, awards presentation and door prizes. To RSVP for the celebration contact Kim Manell via email at KManell@memorialcare.org or call 949.380.3195.
