DALLAS, Feb. 22, 2013 /PRNewswire/ --Freedom Home Healthcare announced today that its Pennsylvania operations as well as its private duty nursing services in New Jersey have merged with its sister company and will now be known as Epic Health Services. Freedom Home Healthcare, however, will retain its name for its concierge-level services for older adults in New Jersey.

Although new to the northeastern U.S., Epic is not new to home health care. The company has been a leading provider of pediatric home care services for the past 10 years and is a rapidly growing provider of adult home health care services.

"Rebranding Freedom's Pennsylvania operations and private duty nursing services in New Jersey as Epic Health Services will enable both organizations to more clearly define their core services," said John C. Garbarino, Epic's president and chief executive officer. "Although the Freedom name is changing for select services and locations, Freedom will continue to be the premier provider of elder care services throughout New Jersey."

Current clients will not experience any disruption in care, and will continue to receive the outstanding care and support they have come to know and trust. The office staff, nurses and services will remain the same. The only thing changing is the name.
