They have a whole new online training portal that extends to all 50 states and has some rather unique content they developed themselves. They also built an advantage through strategic partnerships and a whole new approach to training, care, and support for those with Alzheimer’s. They have new exclusive opportunities as a brand that no other competitor currently possesses, and they are excited to launch a whole new service model with their very own proprietary technology currently in the final stages of development. While they would love to do more than provide a teaser into what is to come all they can say is “stay tuned” because the remainder of 2021 and well into 2023 is going to be an exciting time for them at In Home Personal Services! The difference between their services and that of their competitors does not stand in the superiority of IHPS, their delivery, and standards, but it remains embedded into the company’s vision and mission, which showcases itself in everything they do, they never stop improving and innovating. Their clients are always their top priority, and everything right from their queries, service, to their feedback, is taken with great importance and used extensively to improve and innovate.

Cover Story LEADERSHIP AT IN HOME PERSONAL SERVICES A unique company such as IHPS requires a leader who not only fulfils the qualities of a successful businessman but also is a man of compassion, a man of dignity, but most of all, a man of principles and honor. In Home Personal Services began in January 2004, under the unrivalled and extraordinary leadership of Michael A. Collura, President of IHPS. Michael is working with his Mother to provide quality care to seniors who wish to remain in the comfort of their own homes. Michael and his mother understood early on the challenges facing many seniors and their families when it came to aging and the desire to maintain a safe and independent lifestyle in the comfort of one's familiar surroundings. In Home Personal Service was formed with the belief that home care should be tailored to meet the individual needs of every client. It has remained their mission, to ensure the client and their family receive the highest level of quality care. A true pleasure and joy, no matter the hardship, the sacrifice or challenge the team and Michael has seen, they will continue to thrive. Not because they need to, but because they truly love what they do, and they want to be here doing it. Knowing what they do and how it impacts the lives of others is an honor and privilege that has brought immeasurable joy to Michael's life. Many challenges were faced along the way including new laws and regulations for standards of quality care introduced by State authorities in 2008. Michael and the IHPS team were already operating well above these new standards, proving their mission was a success as they had not only met the standards of quality care issued by the regulatory authorities, they had exceeded them. Today, Michael continues his mission and In Home Personal Services has grown not just in its native State of Illinois, but throughout the United States.

A beautiful smile speaks louder than words, and that’s why dental implants are so important; they can provide attractive stability so that you can move through your day with confidence. Before you get your dental implant procedure, these are Important Questions To Ask Your Dental Implant Provider to ensure a safe surgery with lifelong success. 1. What Kind of Formal Education in Dental Implantology Does your Dental Provider Have? Knowing more about your dental provider’s training and education is an important part of selecting a dental professional. Ask them how long they spent in training and what kind of continuing education they’ve received, recommends Dr. Amanda Sheehan of Oakland Family Dental in Waterford, Michigan. She is a diplomate in the International Congress of Oral Implantology, which is one of the only board certification programs in the U.S., and she has completed more than 2,000 hours of continuing education that includes dental implants. If you’re concerned that your dental provider doesn’t have extensive education and training, Dr. Sheehan advises that this is not the time to be shy. “Ask them what kind of guarantee they offer, how many of these implants have they done before, and what’s their success rate. You need to make sure that you have confidence in your provider,” she says. 2. Does your Dentist have a CBCT Scan in their Office?
