As our long-time readers already know, we at SelectCare try to focus our blog posts on important subjects that impact older New Yorkers, their families and caregivers. With the new year upon us, we’re kicking 2017 off on a more fun, personal note.

Since we spend so much time in the homes of our clients, we should offer our community a look into our homes as well.  When our staff returns home from a busy day of work, we each look forward to a warm greeting from our pets, and below you can find a fun slideshow of our furry, fluffy and occasionally fishy friends!
