 "I began this company knowing that I wanted to serve my community and provide an invaluable healthcare service to people in the comfort of their own homes in perhaps the most trying time of their lives. My goal is to do whatever we can to ease the burden of care giving and deliver not only the highest quality health care possible but also peace of mind."

I spent three months in the hospital then was told that I would either have to go into a nursing home or find a way to manage my day to day life on my own. I had no relatives living near me. I was not only disabled, I was homebound. I can not tell you what a blessing Appalachian Home Care as been to my life. Everyone is so caring, helpful and professional, which is a rare commodity these days. I couldn't be more content and satisfied. I feel that I have my own personal angel assisting me in my home every day. - J. Benedict
