SBANE June 2006 Breakfast Series –“Innovation is Alive and Well in the Elder
Care Business… If You Know Where to Look,” featuring Andrea Cohen, CEO of
HouseWorks
The trend is clear: most seniors want to live at home. Innovation and creativity
are needed to transform the fundamentals of private-pay service delivery.
Private-pay home care is a fast-growing, labor-intensive business. How can the
industry manage growth and the constant demand for labor in a market that is
expected to explode as the first crop of baby boomers face both their own needs
and the needs of their parents?
To meet this new and growing need, innovative businesses are changing the elder
care market through an entrepreneurial approach to service delivery evidenced by
a customer-driven approach that returns a sense of control to adult children and
their elderly parents.
HouseWorks is an elder care company dedicated to helping seniors live
independently, no matter how challenging the circumstances. Honored by SBANE as
a finalist in the 2006 New England Innovation Awards, HouseWorks’ message is a
powerful one: you must exceed the expectations of your customers by providing
reliable and responsive services.
Join SBANE for the inside story from an entrepreneurial CEO in an industry which
will touch all of our lives in the immediate future.
