More than 700,000 Kentuckians face the daily stress of serving as caregivers for family members. Too often, they’ve had the limited choices of either putting that loved one in a nursing home — which is costly and often against the wishes of the patient — or trying to handle the needs of an elderly parent while maintaining a full-time job and raising a family.
Sound familiar?
That’s why Horizon Health provides a range of care for aging Kentuckians and support for their families.
What started almost 30 years ago with an adult day-care facility in my hometown of Albany, Ky., Horizon has worked with more than 3,000 families.
We are dedicated experts at multiple levels of care – whether it’s providing care for senior loved ones at our adult day health centers; in-home skilled and personal care throughout the state; or our newest program, PACE, which is a nationally recognized, comprehensive health-care model.
Our average client is 72 years old and has more than one chronic illness or health condition. And that population continues to grow as aging baby boomers are seeking access to long-term care but want to remain in their home as long as possible.
Horizon provides multiple quality services that address all needs of elderly loved ones while providing peace of mind and reassurance to their family caregivers.
Our calling is to provide quality, compassionate care because we know that people thrive best when they are home and connected to community. And we understand how complex the health-care system is to navigate for families who are worried and overwhelmed.
Your loved one will be secure and connected to the community through the services of Horizon, which are tailored to specific needs. That is so important not only for physical health but also mental well-being.
Our goal is to help ensure your loved one can stay safely at home as long as possible. Your family isn’t a number. You are our neighbors.
Together, working as a team, we can help you achieve your loved one’s goal of staying out of the nursing home and being independent for as long as possible.
