VIDEO: Patriot Home Care Provides Independent Living Assistance For Beaver County Residents
(Matt Drzik/Beaver County Radio)
Kelly Cope from Patriot Home Care joined Matt Drzik on the April 11 edition of A.M. Beaver County to discuss the services that Patriot provides; services designed to assist older clients (or those who qualify) to maintain independent living in the comfort of their homes and the surrounding area.
Cope spoke about the comfort and flexibility that clients with Patriot have in choosing how much assistance they desire to have. “We try to keep them in their own home,” she stated. “We have clients that require 10 hours a week, we have clients that are 24/7 and around the clock.” She spoke about how PHC will assess clients and help them out in the comfort of their own homes to maintain independent living; different from assisted living at a remote location.
PHC is also looking for caretakers on their staff as well, but Cope says that the job isn’t necessarily easy: “You have to able to be around people, you have to want to take care of people…you have to have some sort of compassion to be wanting to take care of people [in order] to do this job.”
Patriot Home Care has an office in Beaver Falls located at 1225 7th Avenue (next to the Carnegie Free Library southbound), and they can be contacted by reaching (724)-506-8911. Kelly herself can be reached via email at kcope@patriot-hc.com for inquiries as well.

HARRISBURG, Pa. (AP) — Gov. Tom Wolf’s administration is asking the state’s highest court to let the centerpiece of his plan to fight climate change take effect and make Pennsylvania the first major fossil fuel state to adopt a carbon pricing policy. The filing late Thursday in the state Supreme Court appealed a two-day old decision by a lower court which barred the official publication of the Democratic governor’s regulation “pending further order.” The regulation had been scheduled to be published Saturday, making it official. But the lower court sided with leaders of the Republican-controlled Legislature who contend the regulation is illegal. The plan has won approval from regulatory bodies.

BOALSBURG, Pa. (AP) — Voters are digesting a newly hostile Democratic primary race in Pennsylvania’s premier contest for U.S. Senate. That’s as the leading candidates came together in a room Saturday, face to face, for the first time since Conor Lamb first attacked rival John Fetterman, Pennsylvania’s lieutenant governor. Fetterman has been on the defensive, after a week of attacks by Lamb, Malcolm Kenyatta and a super PAC supporting Lamb that’s running a TV ad against Fetterman. Neither Lamb nor Kenyatta made any reference to Fetterman in their remarks to a crowd of about 200 Penn State-area Democrats. But Fetterman did, telling the crowd that he wouldn’t attack a fellow Democrat.
