Great cause because support is needed, equally!
Dorothy R. Cook 's curator insight, March 1, 2017 1:48 PM

YES! They deserve even the more support in all areas and all aspects of their job duties and some are not required but some of Home Health Care Employees do things from their heart and out of their pocket so those they are employed to care for dont go without which takes from the employees own  and there is no support for the employee but the client does not go without. Yes SUPPORT is NEEDED!
