Cerna Homecare

Cerna Homecare was founded in 2009 by Founder and CEO Nick Payzant on the principle that supportive care must be flexible, high quality and customized to the needs of the client. Our care is designed to be helping people become more independent and add to quality of life. Our elderly are a precious and diminishing asset, they deserve the very best and Cerna is built on providing that level of care. We build custom tailored care plans designed with the whole family in mind.
Large numbers of people aging, families working more and nuero-degenerative conditions have created
increased demand for the home care industry. We have seen continued increased demand and expect
it to continue well into the future.
The Home Care Providers industry is among the fastest growing healthcare industries in the United
States. Home care saves patients billions of dollars every year by treating them in their own homes
instead of in hospitals. An aging population, the prevalence of chronic diseases, growing physician
acceptance of home care, medical advancements and a movement toward cost-efficient treatment
options from public and private payers have all fostered industry revenue growth. Industry revenue has
grown to $96.9 billion over the last five years.
Cerna Homecare offers three major differentiators:
Nuerodegenerative focused care plans and caregiving
Care Management for managing all aspects of healthcare
Fall Detection Wearable Patch that provides 24/7 monitoring cutting care costs
