Visiting Nurse Helps People Age in Place

I'm goint to start writing about all the services in Southwestern Connecticut that help people age in place -- age at home. I met someone from the Visiting Nurse Service in our area (Southwestern Connecticut). What she told me was most enlightening. They provide nursing and homecare services that help people age at home. Visiting Nurse home care works in partnership with Mid-Fairfield Hospice. they provide home care with home health aides who are certified by Medicare. Visiting Nurse also provides Assisted Living at Home.
