The aging landscape is transforming dramatically, and HomeWatch Caregivers stands at the forefront of this evolution with 45 years of expertise and innovation. Todd Houghton, President and CEO, reveals how the organization has grown beyond traditional companion and personal care services to meet seniors exactly where they are in their care journey.
Recognizing that 92% of seniors wish to age at home while only 22% can afford daily care visits, HomeWatch has developed a technology ecosystem that extends support beyond caregiver visits. Their Wellness Hub transforms ordinary TVs into powerful care tools, providing medication reminders and secure video connections that combat isolation. Meanwhile, strategically placed sensors monitor for falls and environmental changes, creating an invisible safety net that's already prevented countless emergencies. These innovations allow families to stay connected regardless of distance, as one touching story revealed when a grandmother finally saw her grandchildren after four years apart through the HomeWatch technology.
The company's commitment to excellence extends beyond technology to comprehensive training programs. Their 27-hour certified dementia care program equips caregivers with specialized skills to support those with cognitive impairments while maintaining dignity and familiarity at home. Additionally, their AI-powered care planning system has revealed that most clients actually need more support than initial assessments suggest, enabling more informed family discussions about care needs. With 10,000 Americans turning 65 daily and HomeWatch experiencing triple the industry's average growth rate, their approach of blending compassionate care with innovative technology positions them perfectly to meet the surging demand for quality home care.
