CaraVita Home Care, assisting caregivers in their community.
“I am so thankful for Rob Hammers and the law firm of Schneider Hammers

and our senior citizens.”
“Jason Schneider and I want to help our community and the caregivers who
support those in need,” said Mr. Hammers. “We feel especially grateful for
those who put themselves at risk to help other people.”
“Without these masks, we would not have been able to complete the infection
control training of our staff,” said Beth Cayce, Founder and CEO of CaraVita
Home Care, which serves over 100 seniors daily within Roswell and Metro Atlanta
community. “Each staff member is shown how to seal test their mask and told to
keep it in a paper bag for emergency use in the senior’s home. Many families
are unable to procure these masks for their loved ones, so we are grateful to
have this gift if they suddenly become ill and need care.”
Schneider Hammers is a law firm specializing in personal injury and defective
product litigation with offices throughout metro Atlanta.
