What America's Leaders Have Said about Home Care

President Ronald Reagen

"Health care in the home is as old as medical treatment itself.  Today, it presents Americans with important new opportunities.  As an integrated part of our health care system, the home setting can offer the comfort of familiar surroundings and the flexibility of personalized treatment.  It can preserve the dignity and independence of individuals and prevent or postpone institutionalization for millions of patients each year.  In a significant number of cases, home care can even reduce the cost of medical treatment."

Representative Charles B Rangel

"Home care represents the best of American health care -- compassion, professional excellence, and cost effectiveness.  It is good for patients and helps keep families together."

Senator Charles Grassley

"Why is home care so important?  As citizens often remind us, they prefer to receive care in their homes rather than in institutions.  Who wouldn't?"

Senator Orrin Hatch

"Home health care can result in enormous savings over the long run.  Even if there wasn't a savings, even if it was a little more expensive, the quality of life would be so enhanced it would be worth what little more we had to pay."
