MONTEREY, CALIF. - Locally-owned Choice Home Health Care, the only Monterey County twice winner of the "Home Care Elite Award" designating it in the top 25 percent of Medicare-Certified agencies in the United States, launched its new website, www.choicehomehealthcare.com, today.

Featuring information on the company, its services and career opportunities, Choice's new website reflects the agency's conviction that there's no better place for patients to regain their quality of life than in their own home. Statistics show that patients recover faster and more comfortably in the familiar surroundings of their home.

As their website explains, Choice offers in-home health care services including skilled and psychiatric nursing, physical therapy, occupational therapy, speech therapy, home health aides and medical social workers. Choice Home Health Care's clinical staff coordinates with the patients' physicians to provide in-home Case Management of their care.

"I'm so please to have launched our new website. Pilot studies and telemedicine assure us that home care is the future of medical care, as nurses and therapists become the eyes and ears of the physicians' patients. There will be coverage for long-term chronic illness care as well as disease management, although the changes are three to five years from being implemented," said Magarite Alvarez, CEO of Choice Home Health Care.

Choice's website is designed with patients and their families in mind. It answers important questions that arise when families experience senior life transitions or illness and provides an easy way to contact Choice if they want to find out more.

Please visit their new website for more information or call Jessica Nicholas at 831-372-2259 or jnicholas@armanasco.com with questions.
