Interim HealthCare raises awareness for the power of home healthcare to help connect more individuals with the unique benefits it provides.
SUNRISE, Fla. — Interim HealthCare Inc., the nation’s leading franchise network of home care, senior care, home health, hospice and healthcare staffing services, today announced the launch of “The Difference is Home,” a campaign to showcase the unique benefits and full continuum of available home healthcare services.
Sharing Why Healthcare is Better at Home
Coinciding with November’s Home Care & Hospice Month, “The Difference is Home” aims to educate people on the power of home healthcare. Offering a full continuum of care, home healthcare includes pediatric, adult skilled nursing, senior care, postoperative care, Medicare-certified care, and hospice, allowing for an individualized approach focused on empowerment and the pursuit of possibilities rather than perceived limitations. The home is where patient care can happen in the most personal way, typically resulting in a higher quality of care, reduced hospital readmissions and better optimization of healthcare dollars, improved health outcomes, and greater patient satisfaction.
As part of the national monthlong campaign, Interim HealthCare is featuring the real-life experiences of five home healthcare stakeholders who have been profoundly impacted by the power of home healthcare:

Additionally, to better understand the underlying motivations and perceptions around home healthcare, Interim HealthCare commissioned The Harris Poll to survey Americans on their knowledge of home healthcare services. The study was designed to help encourage increased understanding and appreciation of what home healthcare can deliver in terms of healthcare outcomes, value-for-healthcare dollars, and consumer preferences. A separate announcement on the findings of the nationwide study will be released in the coming days.
Celebrating a Community of Care
In addition to highlighting what sets home-based care apart, Interim HealthCare invites stakeholders to understand and appreciate the tireless helping hands behind the scenes of these inspiring stories who often go unrecognized: the community of care that makes it possible. From home health professionals and paraprofessionals who provide care and the certified agencies who employ and support them, to physicians, discharge planners, and social workers who guide the journeys to support their outcomes and the payors that reimburse this invaluable service, there is an entire community of care that keeps the home healthcare industry thriving.
In honor of Home Care and Hospice Month, Interim HealthCare invites the public to express gratitude for the community of care that makes home healthcare so extraordinary by participating in the campaign’s Wall of Inspiration, which will showcase the moving stories of those who have been impacted by home healthcare.

“For those of us long ingrained in home healthcare, we see every day the difference home-based care has on clients and their quality of life,” said Jennifer Sheets, Interim HealthCare Inc. president and CEO. “What the last two years have taught us is that the home is where outcomes are better and where people truly want to be. Throughout our monthlong celebration, we will further elevate these messages to communities that can benefit most from home healthcare’s services, and especially honor and recognize the sacrifice of the thousands of clinicians, aides, and caregivers who facilitate these invaluable services.”
Among other features of the campaign are ways to engage consumers with educating content and fun giveaways that reinforce the difference home makes. For example, there are giveaway opportunities of MyndVR virtual reality headsets, which are specifically designed to connect patients and seniors with memories and the world outside from the comfort of their homes. Also tucked into the month is Home Care Aide Week, November 7-13, to honor and celebrate the indispensable role aides play in supporting the activities of daily living for so many Americans, ensuring their ability to heal and age in place. Home care aides will have a chance to win daily giveaways which include $125 gift cards to Home Chef, $50 gift cards for allheart gear, the nation’s leading online supplier of medical apparel and personal diagnostic equipment, and access to free educational webinars.

PITTSBURGH — Leading international franchise Deka Lash is launching its newest service, MegaVolume, the company’s most dramatic and boldest lash look yet.
Deka Lash is known for taking an innovative and consumer-led approach to its beauty services. Since launching Brow Lamination in 2020, its first ever brow service, Deka Lash began designing its newest signature lash look based entirely on client feedback. The feedback was simple: more volume and more density than any other traditional services. The result is MegaVolume.
“We couldn’t be more excited for the launch of MegaVolume,” says Jennifer Blair, Founder and co-CEO of Deka Lash. “The look and feel is really unique. It creates a maximum lash density while still maintaining a natural look. It really sets a new standard for those customers wanting that fuller, more dramatic look while also feeling comfortable wearing it every day.”
MegaVolume lashes have at least double the amount of lashes than standard Volume lash services, thereby ensuring a darker, denser look. However, while MegaVolume is definitely bold, the lashes themselves are extremely lightweight to wear.
“I was really excited about trying something that gives more volume than the normal TrueVolume service that I typically have done,” shares Ana, a Deka Lash client in Pittsburgh, PA. “They definitely give a more voluminous look but manage to do so without feeling heavy. The MegaVolume lashes, despite the name, are super light along my lash line. They also lasted a lot longer than what I normally get because the MegaVolume lashes give me fuller, denser coverage. Even when I lose a lash, I’m not worried about gaps”.
MegaVolume launches in all Deka Lash studios beginning November 12, 2021.
