Local Home-Care Providers Honored for Excellence at Preferred Care at Home's Annual Convention

National home-care company names top franchise offices for the year, honoring them for the impact they've made in their communities.

DELRAY BEACH, Fla., Aug. 3, 2012 /PRNewswire-iReach/ -- Fourteen home-care franchises from across the country received top honors at the first annual Preferred Care at Home convention and cruise. Offices from Florida to Alaska were awarded for the impact they've made in their communities. The convention was held July 11-16, starting in Delray Beach, Fla., for two days of meetings and ending with a three-day cruise.

"These passionate owners showed continued growth and commitment to quality of life in their community," says Frank Guerrieri, president and CEO of
