Long-Distance Caregiving Experience Inspires a Career in Home Care

“The U.S. Census Bureau projects that people age 65 and above are expected to reach 77 million in the U.S. by 2035. But the number of children under 18 will only be 76.5 million by then. Seniors are going to outnumber the amount of children very soon. I keep thinking what the implications are for Americans to age in place, and that thought motivated me to pursue a career in caring for older adults,” Gregg Simons, owner of Right at Home Uptown Manhattan, New York.

Simons recalled his family’s long-distance caregiving experience to both his grandfather and grandmother-in-law. He reckoned that assistance from in-home caregivers not only provides peace of mind to families, but also makes it possible for older adults to age in place successfully.

In a review on Caring.com, a past client wrote; “Right At Home took wonderful care of my aunt. The caregivers were reliable, patient and compassionate. The office provided expert guidance and always effectively answered my questions about elder care. I give them my highest recommendation.”

The review resonated with what Simons and his team set out to do — to be resourceful to seniors in need and their families; provide compassionate care to the aging community.

“Helping older loved ones to age in place is topic my peers and my parents’ generation discuss a lot,” Simons said. “As I planned for a career transition from the finance industry, I decided to redirect my interpersonal and management skills to make a difference in people’s lives — providing in-home care assistance to older and disabled adults in my community.”
