Dearborn, Michigan — American Advantage Home Care, a full-service home health care agency that provides 24/7 skilled medical and hospice care in mid-to-southeast Michigan, has been selected as one of the 2022 Michigan 50 Companies to Watch by Michigan Celebrates Small Business.

Judges from economic and entrepreneurship development organizations annually select winners from more than 550 nominations based on the nominee’s intent and capacity to grow. This includes factors that contribute to the company's success such as employee or sales growth, exceptional entrepreneurial leadership, and sustainable competitive advantage.

“It’s been an incredible journey since purchasing American Advantage Home Care in 2019,” said Cleamon Moorer Jr., DBA, agency co-owner and president. “This recognition validates the positive energy we feel internally among staff and in our relationships with clients, their loved ones, and their doctors.”

Since Moorer and his wife, Nicole Willis-Moorer purchased the agency, daily patient census has increased 1,000%. Moorer credits the increase to the agency's patient-centric focus, its multi-cultural staff, and patients’ desire to receive health care services in the safety of their home during the pandemic.

The American Advantage team will be honored at the 18th annual Michigan Celebrates Small Business Gala, at the Breslin Center, East Lansing, on May 3, 2022.
