AT HOME CARE SOLUTIONS, INC. LAUNCHES BY FORMER 10NEWS ANCHOR, LAUREN REYNOLDS

SAN DIEGO, CALIF (February 22, 2011) - At Home Care Solution, Inc., a new in-home care giving service provider, created and run by San Diego local and former investigative reporter and 10News anchor, Lauren Reynolds, is quickly taking its footing in San Diego's growing home healthcare industry.

Reynolds, an award-winning consumer advocate and journalist, worked as an investigative/consumer reporter and anchor at 10News San Diego for 15 years. It was her own mother's courageous battle against breast cancer and need for help at home that inspired her to open At Home Care Solution, Inc., a certified provider of home care services throughout San Diego County.

At Home Care Solution helps with all activities of daily living from dressing and meals to medication reminders, transportation, light housekeeping and errands. They offer compassionate care for those with Alzheimer's, dementia or any physical or psychological ailments that are causing a loss of independence.

Reynolds started At Home Care Solution, Inc. in April 2010. Since that time, she has grown her business through strategic networking with doctors, nursing and rehabilitation centers, as well as from client referrals. Today, At Home Care Solution, in addition to Reynolds, employs 43 caregiver employees, an office manager, and two registered nurses. Due to demand, At Home Care Solution, is actively hiring and looking for quality care professionals for their team.

With a mission to enhance every life with compassionate and quality care, Reynolds has made it her policy to offer top notch care from qualified, certified and well-trained individuals. She makes sure these individuals go through extensive background checks to ensure the utmost safety for her clients.

"As the baby boomers move from being caretakers to becoming seniors themselves, there is an entire generation of seniors who will be needing assistance, but they won't want to leave their home," said Lauren Reynolds, president of At Home Care Solution. "The 21st century is being defined as the century of longer life expectancies. With one of every eight baby boomers expected to get Alzheimer's, it is being described as 'the defining disease' of the generation and that means the need for in-home care services and assistance is going to skyrocket over the next decade."

Reynolds, now recognized as a continuing education provider by both the California Board of Nursing and California Board of Behavioral Sciences, gives back to the field and improves the lives and outcomes of our elderly or special needs community by hosting state-approved professional education programs free of charge. These classes are monthly continuing education credit seminars attended by educators, social workers, assisted living and nursing home administrators, nurses, trust officers, and elder law attorneys.

At Home Care Solution has received the prestigious certification of the California Association of Health Services at Home. This stamp of approval demonstrates the company's commitment to exceeding industry standards for home care. Certified agencies have proven they are properly insured and thoroughly investigate all care providers.

"The fact that we were certified in California shows that we effectively adhere to our mission of keeping our clients safe and ensuring that we enhance every life we touch," said Reynolds.

Under Reynolds's leadership and vision, At Home Care Solution's personal care attendants, certified nursing assistants and home health aides are caring, professional caregivers and are thoroughly screened, bonded and insured. Each caregiver is put through an in-house training program that stresses responsibility, competence and compassion, especially as it relates to Alzheimer's and dementia. They also teach each caregiver about the special dietary needs of the elderly and even provide recipes.

PRESS RELEASE

October 7th, 2010

At Home Care Solution Awarded CAHSAH Certification

At Home Care Solution, Inc. has received the prestigious certification of the California Association of Health Services at Home.

This stamp of approval demonstrates the company's commitment to exceeding industry standards for home care. Certified agencies have proven they are properly insured and thoroughly investigate all care providers.

"We took the optional, extra step of going after certification because we want only the best for our clients. The fact we were approved shows we adhere to our mission of keeping our clients safe and ensuring that we enhance every life we touch," said Lauren Reynolds, President of At Home Care Solution and former 10News investigative and consumer reporter.

Clients of At Home Care Solution can rest assured that background checks include a 7 year social security number trace and checks against local, state and national criminal court databases. Employees must also have a clean driving record and pass a TB test.

There is no license and there is little oversight for home care companies in California. Some less reputable companies operate out of back rooms without security checks or legally required insurance.

"Not all companies want certification because of the extra cost involved in applying for it and also the extra money it takes to properly screen employees," explained Reynolds.

She added that since certification is the only regulation of home care companies in California, "I believe any penny spent protecting the interest of my San Diego County clients is well worth it."
