Jim Prussak, CEO of Applause Home Care, which is a non-medical, in-home caregiving service helping individuals achieve the optimum wellness they deserve joins eHealth Radio and the In-Home Care & Health News Channels.

Listen to interview with host Eric Michaels & guest Jim Prussak discuss the following:

  1. Why do you think more families are turning to in-home care instead of traditional facility-based care? Why is it becoming a more sustainable form for long-term support?
  2. Applause Home Care talks about “care partnering” rather than simply caregiving. What does that philosophy mean?
  3. Along with that, how does care partnering improve dignity, independence, and quality of life for patients?
  4. What are some misconceptions people still have about caregiving today? In your view, what needs to be improved across the system?
  5. What message would you like families listening today to hear about seeking help and support through home care? Additionally, what do you hope for the future of caregiving as a whole?

    6. Jim Prussak is the CEO of Applause Home Care. During the latter part of his 25-year career in control functions within the financial services industry, he volunteered to assist elders in the community. The satisfaction and care that Jim received from helping others in the “encore” of their lives helped him to learn about care partnering, not just “care giving.” These experiences also made Jim reconsider what he wanted to do with the rest of his career and life.

    Jim holds a BS Degree from New York University in Accounting and Finance and an MBA from Fordham University. He is also a Certified Homemaker-Home Health Aide by the NJ Board of Nursing and a Certified Public Accountant in New York. Jim also serves on the Board of Bergen Volunteers.
