                     HOME HELPERS OF EASTERN IDAHO

 Mr. RISCH. Mr. President, independence and self-sufficiency 
are two characteristics of adulthood that many of us simply take for 
granted. However, as we age, oftentimes we need a helping hand to 
accomplish daily tasks or deal with medical ailments. Teresa Nelson, 
owner of Home Helpers of Eastern Idaho and a certified senior adviser, 
recognizes the value of independent living and, through her hard work, 
has greatly contributed to the rich and full life of many Idahoans. I 
rise today to honor Home Helpers of Eastern Idaho located in Pocatello, 
ID.
  Home Helpers of Eastern Idaho specializes in the at-home nonmedical 
care of our senior citizens and facilitates independent living. 
However, Home Helpers doesn't stop there. The over 50 employees and 
caregivers at Home Helpers also are available to assist new and 
expectant mothers, working parents, and individuals who are in need of 
recuperative home care with flexible schedules and cheerful attendants. 
The personal touch that accompanies each care plan makes each 
experience unique and maximizes the level of comfort and care available 
to those in need.
  Conscious of the individual needs and distinct situation of each and 
every client, Teresa Nelson and her team at Home Helpers strive to 
deliver a custom-tailored plan for each circumstance. From treatment 
needs to payment plans, the caregivers at Home Helpers use their 
flexibility and expertise to increase the quality of life of all that 
they work with.
  For over 3\1/2\ years, Home Helpers has assisted many families and 
individuals through challenging times. Therefore, it is only fitting 
that we celebrate this firm's growth and successes, as they have 
simultaneously helped support our loved ones and create health care 
jobs in Idaho. I am proud to extend my congratulations to Teresa Nelson 
and everyone at Home Helpers of Eastern Idaho for their tremendous 
efforts and offer my best wishes for their continued success.
