Berks Encore @ Home: Clients

Sometimes Being Independent Means Asking For Help

Studies show that 93% of the aging population want to stay in a home that they own as they age1. Unfortunately, sometimes remaining independent requires some dependency on family members and outside sources. Even though family and friends want to help, there are times when they are unavailable to drive to a doctor's appointment or to the grocery store, fix a window, or run an errand. Whatever the needs, it is important to receive these services from a trusted source.
