It is one of my favorite times of the year, and serves as a great reminder of how driven and passionate Preferred Care at Home <a href=\"https:\/\/preferhome.com\/locations\/blog\/owners-commit-to-quality-senior-care\/\">owners<\/a> are in their quest to provide quality senior home care services.\u00a0 Our conference took place at The Seagate Hotel, a local hotel in Delray Beach, Florida, less than a mile from our <a href=\"https:\/\/preferhome.com\/locations\/about\/\">Franchise Headquarters<\/a>. As we soaked up ocean air we also soaked up renewed vision and eagerness to serve seniors and families in our communities.<\/p>\n<p>As I looked around the conference room at the faces of Preferred Care at Home representing New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Michigan, Ohio, Tennessee, Louisiana, Missouri, Virginia, Georgia, Texas and Florida, I thought, &#8220;Everyone here loves what they do&#8211;they love senior home care.&#8221;\u00a0 These owners live for the opportunity to come along side those who want to remain in their beloved home, providing the extra care needed. It is an incredible honor to be brought into a family and serve along side, allowing family members to hand over their role as caregiver and return to the sacred role of son or daughter, husband or wife.<\/p>\n<p>As the week progressed, it was clear, these men and women are not simply home care providers, they are <em>safeguarders of independence<\/em>. As safeguarders of independence they understand how difficult it can be to ask for help. The fear of losing your independence may prevent you from asking for much needed senior home care assistance. They understand this fear, but like you, they don&#8217;t want you to lose your independence. In fact, their mission is to help you maintain independence in your home, receiving the type of senior care you want, when and where you want it.<\/p>\n<p>If you, or a senior loved one, have questions about in-home care, it may be time&#8211;time to call a <em>safeguarder of independence<\/em>, and ask for help. <a href=\"https:\/\/preferhome.com\/locations\/blog\/call-for-quality-care\/\">When you call<\/a> you can expect to be greeted with kindness and compassion. You can also expect to have your questions answered and your concerns alleviated. Preferred Care at Home is committed to providing reliable, compassionate, and affordable care&#8230;we promise!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Last week was our Preferred Care at Home annual conference where owners from across the nation gather to learn, grow, <a href=\"https:\/\/preferhome.com\/locations\/blog\/home-care-providers-safeguarding-independence\/\" class=\"h5 more-link\">Learn More<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":8,"featured_media":3699,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[959],"tags":[1166,968,1086,975],"class_list":["post-6982","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-why-home-care","tag-annual-conference","tag-home-care","tag-owners","tag-senior-care"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v21.7 (Yoast SEO v21.7) - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Home Care Providers - Safeguarding Independence - Preferred Care at Home<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"noindex, follow\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Home Care Providers - Safeguarding Independence\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"Last week was our Preferred Care at Home annual conference where owners from across the nation gather to learn, grow, Learn More\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:url\" content=\"https:\/\/preferhome.com\/locations\/blog\/home-care-providers-safeguarding-independence\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"Preferred Care at Home\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:published_time\" content=\"2016-05-04T02:27:33+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:image\" content=\"https:\/\/preferhome.com\/locations\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/annualconvention.jpg\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:width\" content=\"960\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:height\" content=\"803\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:type\" content=\"image\/jpeg\" \/>\n<meta name=\"author\" content=\"Francesca Robinson, MA\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:card\" content=\"summary_large_image\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:label1\" content=\"Written by\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data1\" content=\"Francesca Robinson, MA\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:label2\" content=\"Est. reading time\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data2\" content=\"2 minutes\" \/>\n<script type=\"application\/ld+json\" class=\"yoast-schema-graph\">{\"@context\":\"https:\/\/schema.org\",\"@graph\":[{\"@type\":\"WebPage\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/preferhome.com\/locations\/blog\/home-care-providers-safeguarding-independence\/\",\"url\":\"https:\/\/preferhome.com\/locations\/blog\/home-care-providers-safeguarding-independence\/\",\"name\":\"Home Care Providers - Safeguarding Independence - Preferred Care at Home\",\"isPartOf\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/preferhome.com\/locations\/#website\"},\"datePublished\":\"2016-05-04T02:27:33+00:00\",\"dateModified\":\"2016-05-04T02:27:33+00:00\",\"author\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/preferhome.com\/locations\/#\/schema\/person\/2ae0ecdee9e3ac8cb57e2a22bcdfb04e\"},\"breadcrumb\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/preferhome.com\/locations\/blog\/home-care-providers-safeguarding-independence\/#breadcrumb\"},\"inLanguage\":\"en-US\",\"potentialAction\":[{\"@type\":\"ReadAction\",\"target\":[\"https:\/\/preferhome.com\/locations\/blog\/home-care-providers-safeguarding-independence\/\"]}]},{\"@type\":\"BreadcrumbList\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/preferhome.com\/locations\/blog\/home-care-providers-safeguarding-independence\/#breadcrumb\",\"itemListElement\":[{\"@type\":\"ListItem\",\"position\":1,\"name\":\"Home\",\"item\":\"https:\/\/preferhome.com\/locations\/\"},{\"@type\":\"ListItem\",\"position\":2,\"name\":\"Home Care Providers &#8211;
