Presented by: Savii Featuring: Tim Rowan, MA and Roger McManus, MBA
Date: June 24
Time: 2:00 - 3:00 EDT Local businesses used to be able to stand out from the crowd with TV and Yellow Pages ads. Those days are gone.

Many home care agencies, however, have not yet learned this lesson. They either ignore this critical tool because they do not understand it, or mistakenly assume that their mostly older clients are not attuned to using the Internet.?Preview: it is their adult child who picks a home care agency for them, not the elderly persons themselves.
