That led to the opening of the first Horizon Adult Day Center in Clinton County, hometown of Horizon President and CEO Kelly W. Upchurch.
Today, Horizon serves more than 2,500 patients per day in 89 counties. Our average client is 72 years old and has more than one chronic illness or health condition.
The need continues to increase with aging baby boomers who’ve worked all their lives and are seeking access to long-term care but want to remain in their home as long as possible.
We serve a crucial role in health-care delivery. There is a gap for folks who don’t require 24-hour nursing care but need some assistance to remain in their home and community. And there is a desperate need to provide relief for caregivers and help them navigate the complicated health-care system. Together, we provide peace, comfort, safety and care for the loved ones of the Kentucky families we serve.
