Home Safe expands senior care with tiered annual plans
Home Safe offers levels of service from 750 to 1950 dollars per year. Level 1 includes health and social assessment and Medicare forms help. Level 4 includes weekly calls, biweekly in person visits, physical therapy help, and recreation. 24 hour nurse access is provided. The startup took two years to plan and a 30000 dollar no interest loan from UI's Colaboratory financed the launch. It began operating last month after surveying area seniors about desired services.
