The Evansville Tri-State Affiliate of Susan G. Komen for the Cure awarded nineteen grants today totaling $516,810.  Among the recipients was Methodist Hospital's “Mammograms for Western Kentucky” program which will provide screening and diagnostic services to women who reside in Henderson, Union and Webster Counties.  Their grant totalled $21,468.

The Home Instead Senior Care office serving Owensboro, Henderson and much of western Kentucky today announced it expects to add 100 CAREGivers to its existing staff in 2013.

The local company’s anticipated growth is a key indicator of the increasing demand for home care professionals and the strength of the industry. According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, employment of personal care aides is expected to grow by 70 percent from 2010 to 2020, much faster than the average for all occupations.

As the economy continues its recovery, many adults are still looking for work. But leaders at the Home Instead Senior Care franchise office serving Owensboro, Henderson and much of Western Kentucky says business is good. In fact, the company is actively looking for new CAREGivers.

Home Instead Senior Care provides more than 60 different non-medical services including companionship, meal preparation, light housework, medication reminders, incidental transportation, errands and shopping.
