My name is Zachary Mitchell, and I am a Home Care Specialist for Care Advantage. I come from the Home Health and Hospice world for the last 10 years. After seeing how many older individuals live alone or with their spouses trying to take care of each other, it became abundantly clear that neither hospice nor home health alone can meet their needs. The cry from burnt out caregivers was loud and clear. After speaking with Care Advantage, it became very obvious that “people” are the missing link in this healthcare continuum.

It has been an eye-opening experience to recognize that I had tunnel vision doing Home health and Hospice, I now have a brand-new perspective, and it’s amazing. I can see clearly now that what I do is the missing link. It also an honor to know that my company covers a segment of the population that are often neglected.

Whether it’s teaching, home health, hospice, and now personal care, I have a sense of fulfillment and satisfaction at the end of each day knowing that I did the right thing for my clients. People taking care of people, I love it!
