Services for the Elderly and Persons with Disabilities

NAICS 624120 · Social Assistance · SBA size standard: $15 million average annual receipts

Agencies and in-home providers coordinate non-medical daily living assistance, respite care and adult day programs. For a provider that matches aides to recurring client visits, the specialists turn intake requests into scheduled visits, visits into aide assignments and supply orders, and assignments into billing and compliance logs. Client preferences, medication reminders and activity notes stay with the care team.
