SAN FRANCISCO (January 12, 2017)—Honor, a tech-powered homecare company focused on providing high-quality homecare for older adults, today announced a new collaborative agreement with the Alzheimer’s Association to use information and resources from the Alzheimer’s Association to educate and train its Care Pros in caring for people living with the disease. The new agreement adds to previous ones formed with the American Cancer Society and National Parkinson Foundation.
“Honor is licensing proprietary care expertise from these national organizations to help our Care Pros provide specialized care to clients in their homes,” said Kelsey Mellard, Honor’s Head of Health Systems Partnerships. “We are using this expert content to provide condition-specific training to our Care Pros. This unique care content will also be delivered through the Honor Care Pro app.”
More than 5 million Americans are living with Alzheimer’s.
The Alzheimer’s Association is the leading voluntary health organization in Alzheimer’s care, support and research. Honor shares in its mission to enhance care and offer support for all affected by the most common form of dementia. Honor Care Pros understand the importance of promoting brain health with appropriate care and activities in the home. These new resources will help guide the homecare Honor provides to people living with Alzheimer’s.
“Caring for people living with Alzheimer’s has its unique challenges,” said Beth Kallmyer, Vice President, Constituent Services, Alzheimer’s Association. “Sharing our best-in-class resources with Honor provides an opportunity to share the best information available specific to caring for people living with Alzheimer’s.”
“Bringing this caliber of expert knowledge into the homecare setting with app technology is a first. Our mission is to help loved ones grow older in their own homes with joy, comfort and grace,” said Seth Sternberg, Co-founder and CEO of Honor. “For millions of people living with conditions such as Alzheimer’s disease, our Care Pros are now equipped to deliver on this promise—not only providing expert personalized care, but also being better equipped to provide support for clients and their families.”
