While each section describes services available through the Welch Group, it also includes an objective, comprehensive resource for a wide range of services that would encourage repeat visits by a broad audience. Welch Healthcare and Retirement Group, headquartered in Norwell, Mass., is a comprehensive health care services company meeting the needs of senior citizens on the South Shore. While virtually every major Boston hospital has a site on the Internet, Welch Healthcare executives were surprised to discover that there was no existing resource and referral site linking South Shore elder care services to the rest of the area's on- line health care community. Therefore, Richard M.Welch Jr. , the fourth generation of the Welch family to help manage the company, developed a page devoted to links to specific senior sites, disease information, other local and regional health care providers, ambulance companies, etc. Richard designed the web site to be as user friendly as possible.
Subjects are easy to find and pages are eye-catching.
Thanks to the international reach of the web, Welch has answered inquiries from as far away as New York about local assisted living communities. As the Internet gains in popularity, Welch Healthcare is not only seeing more visitors with health care related questions, but more and more people looking for jobs in the health care field. Welch Healthcare will continue to update and expand the web site to meet expanding need and interest. Cyberspace has become the ultimate reference for next door and around the world. Welch Healthcare's comprehensive care resource continues to meet the needs of the South Shore community with their Nursing and Rehabilitation Centers , Home Healthcare services , retirement housing , and Assisted Living Residences .
