Applause, smiling faces, and some of the hardest working people in the industry could all be found at our Home Helpers® Home Care Annual Conference earlier this month.
Held each year in New Orleans, our Annual Conference brings Home Helpers Home Care franchisees, employees, and management together for a night of networking and fun.
"The Exceptional Caregiver Awards are the core of what we do as an organization," said Emma Dickison, CEO and President of Home Helpers Home Care. "It's our promise to be like family when family can't be there, and these professionals set the standard for our mission and our purpose."
