⚠️ Winter Weather Hazards⚠️

Due to winter weather, there is a risk of icy/slick conditions forming on roads, sidewalks, and driveways overnight, creating hazardous travel conditions. If you must travel, please exercise extreme caution. And most importantly, slow down!

Officers will be responding to calls as quickly as possible, but due to call volumes typically increasing during winter weather, response times may be delayed. We appreciate your patience in advance.

Stay safe and check local weather updates regularly. ❄️

53 million family caregivers. 36 billion hours. $600 billion. 61% of the American . Ok, now add another $44 billion.
That's how many hours of "free" labor are provided by the 53 million in America today. $600 billion dollars is what that care is conservatively valued at as of 2023. 61% of employees in the US today are balancing their paid job with their family responsibilities. The estimated annual productivity loss for the employing organizations is $44 billion. Thank a family caregiver today, odds are you know several.

Easy ways to show appreciation to those who give so much

Our in-house nursing team conducts fall safety assessments for all ComForCare Home Care of Winston-Salem clients every 90 days. We also provide 24-hour to guard against the likelihood of falls in the home and respond to those that do occur within 180 seconds, which can significantly reduce the long-term health impacts of the fall itself.

"Fall interventions can save the health system hundreds of millions of dollars, according to the APHA policy brief. Performing home hazard evaluations alone could save an estimated $442 million."

Preventable falls are the leading cause of injury for older adults, costing the U.S. health system more than $400 million annually.
