| Question | How do you differ from a conventional home health or hospice facility? |
| Answer | We compliment what each of those types of companies do, by providing services they do not, such as routine assistance with activities of daily living such as routine ongoing assistance with: bathing, dressing, grooming, feeding, exercising, toileting, positioning, ambulations and transfer, routine hair and skin care, meal preparation, laundry and light housekeeping. PAS providers can provide some necessary health related tasks that may be delegated by a Registered nurse, or tasks a Doctor, or RN deem do not require delegation. And you live in your own home. |
| Question | What is the average age for your caregivers? |
| Answer | The average age is 45 years or older. Although Seven Sisters is not opposed to hiring younger individuals, we have found that older caregivers are more mature and responsible in caring for the elderly. |

| Answer | Ms. Norris, our President and CEO, like her mother was actually one of seven sisters. |
| Question | Are you a Hospice or Home Health Agency? |
| Answer | We are a licensed PAS Agency, and are intended to compliment those agencies services. We provide the 24 hour Caregiver in the Clients' Home and assist you to live at home. |
| Question | Will Medicaid/Medicare pay for Personal Caregivers? |
| Answer | Unfortunately they do not. Some long term health care insurance policies do pay for personal attendants in the home. We are private pay only. |
