Lifting and Transferring Patients

top of page

CareCo Medical began in 2016 as a response to a need for quality and compassionate home health care in the southeastern region of Connecticut. Since that time, the company has grown in size and reputation. In 2018, CareCo Medical embarked on a company-wide restructuring and rebranding effort. This effort was designed to maximize the company’s resources in the face of a changing home health care industry, while at the same time making sure that the organization remains focused on its core values of customized and compassionate care. While the name and look of the company have changed, our commitment to the good health and happiness of our patients remains strong.
