Press Release July 28, 2005

(Hazel Crest, IL) July 28, 2005

Home Caregivers Accreditation Of America, LLC. (HCAOA) recently designated Home Bound Healthcare, Inc. of Hazel Crest, IL as an accredited provider of non-medical in-home care services. Home Bound Healthcare is one of a few agencies in the region to receive such accreditation, which indicates the company and its caregivers meet certain licensure and insurance requirements.

We're very pleased to receive this accreditation, and provide our customers, seniors and their families, with an important indicator that we are providing a quality service., said David Rine, Administrator of Home Bound Healthcare.

Home Bound Healthcare helps seniors, and others requiring assistance, with activities of daily living (ADLs) such as companion care, light housekeeping, medication reminders, bathing, dressing, grocery shopping, transportation, and other services. The company's goal is to help their customers maintain their independence and remain in their homes.

When an agency such as Home Bound Healthcare follows standards, it often indicates they are conscientious, and care about their company, employees, and seniors, said Susan Fraser, President, HCAOA. The least expensive care giving agencies may not be a bargain at all. Companies that pay caregivers cash, or file a 1099 form, put the responsibility on seniors and their families to cover payroll taxes for that employee. And, the customer may have to resort to their homeowners insurance if a caregiver has an on-the-job injury.

According to Rine, Home Bound Healthcare, also complies with the HCAOA's guidelines in selecting its caregiver employees and providing care to its customers. The company's six-step hiring process includes a thorough background check, comprehensive orientation, TB testing, and other requirements. Home Bound Healthcare also provides a relibility guarantee.

Because it takes a special person to perform the important duties required by our clients, we only hire caregivers that we would feel entirely comfortable sending to our own home., Rine said.

Home Bound Healthcare's services are available throughout the four county area of Cook, Lake, DuPage, and Will, twenty-four hours a day. The company offers free consultations, and can be reached directly at (708)798-0800 or through their automated answering service at (800)444-7028
