As the old song lyrics go, "I get by with a little help from my friends."

The Colonial Club's Supportive Home Care Program provides a little help to older adults who want to remain in their home, yet need some help on occasion. Study after study shows that people who are able to safely stay in their home and maintain their neighborhood connects are just happier. All of us know, no matter what age, that maintaining our independence is key to overall good health.
