What is Home Care?

Home care is an arrangement for providing health care and personal care at home, rather than in an acute care or long term setting. Home Health offers the following benefits:

  • Greater Privacy
  • Added Convenience
  • Lower Costs
  • Improved Quality of Life

When to Think of Utilizing Home Health Services?
Home Health should be considered as an option by patients who have been recently discharged from the hospital or nursing home with the following medical problems:

  • Recurrent Hospitalizations
  • Infusion Therapy
  • Wound Care
  • Ostomy Care
  • Catheter Tube Care
  • Joint Replacement
  • New Medications
  • Diabetic Management
  • Changes in Function
  • New Diagnosis

To Make Referrals
If you are in a hospital or nursing home facility, request your discharge planner or social worker contact us to initiate home health services.

If you are at home, please contact our intake coordinator (contact information can be found here).
