The IHS program benefits the primary caregiver by assisting the individual in activities of daily living such as eating, drinking, toileting, and physical functioning; improving and maintaining mobility and physical functioning when these tasks require more than one person to accomplish.

My family and I want to let you know our gratitude for your help for our mother. Even though our mother is not in the situation where she could get the hospice care, your help helped our mother to get the care in the comfortable environment.
