 "I began this company knowing that I wanted to serve my community and provide an invaluable healthcare service to people in the comfort of their own homes in perhaps the most trying time of their lives. My goal is to do whatever we can to ease the burden of care giving and deliver not only the highest quality health care possible but also peace of mind."

Appalachian Home Care is a good company to work for. They work with both the employee and the client in any way possible. They take time out of their schedule to listen and talk to me about whatever problem I may have. I really appreciate each and every person in the office. I have worked for AHC for 5 years and love the job I do. - C. Hoilman
