These patient populations consist of frail
seniors who qualify for nursing home care but get to stay at home under this
type of close supervision and full serve care. In light of this patient
description there are probably only a small percentage of DCs who would be
interested and qualified to be selected. Since these programs consist of a few
hundred patients only 2-4 half days of DC care is needed per week... a part-time
position ideal for a semi-retired DC. If you know of a suitable candidate DC in
any of the cities listed above, please refer them to this web page to complete
the following registration form.
