COHME (Concerned Home Managers for the Elderly) has a dual mission—to provide superior, compassionate care to our clients and excellent jobs and support services for our aides.
Most home care agencies undergo high attrition—an average of up to 65% each year. At COHME, we retain 74% of our health aides from year to year.
