What is Home Health Care

Our team of home health care professionals includes nurses, rehabilitation therapists, social workers and home health aides who help you recover in the comfort of your own home. They not only provide treatment, but also assist you in caring for yourself.  With the help of your doctor, they will design a home health care plan to meet your specific healthcare needs.

Skilled nursing care includes care and education that can only be performed safely and correctly by a licensed nurse.

You may receive physical therapy to learn exercises to help restore strength and movement or instruction on how to use assistive equipment.

Some patients may require occupational therapy to adapt their usual daily activities and become independent.

Your doctor may order speech therapy to teach exercises in order to regain speech or swallowing ability.

We may provide a medical social worker to help manage and overcome difficult social or emotional circumstances that affect your recovery.

Depending on the illness, you may require assistance with basic daily activities for bathing and dressing. Your plan may include a home health aide to assist with these needs provided you also require care from a nurse or therapist.

We may enable you to monitor your health using telehealth technology. You can check your blood pressure, heart rate, and weight each day and have the results sent to our office for review by a nurse.

Your home health care team will:
  • assess your condition
  • teach you about your illness and ways to manage your recovery
  • make sure you understand your medications
  • help you learn treatments or exercises prescribed by your physician
  • ensure you or your caregiver is prepared to assume your care at discharge
