Home Health Care

Home Care Services

Skilled Nursing

Our nurses complete a thorough initial observation
and assessment of each patient to determine what
care is needed. Our nurses provide specialized
services including lab draws, bowel and bladder
management, pain control, diabetic teaching,
catheter care, attention to cardiac and lung care,
and education on specific care of each patient’s
disease processes. Additionally, our nurses contact
your physician if other medical conditions arise.

Physical Therapy

Our therapists focus on safely restoring strength
and endurance, and improving range of motion
(all while reducing pain) by creating individualized
programs tailored to your walking, transferring,
balance, and/or post surgical needs. They can also
provide specialized treatments, usually found in the
clinical setting, in the comfort of your own home.

Occupational Therapy

Our occupational therapists focus on re-training
of everyday tasks that may have become difficult.
These common activities called “activities of daily
living,” include bathing, grooming, dressing,
transferring, and kitchen and bathroom tasks.
Our skilled therapists also provide resources and
recommendations with regards to equipment use
that may make these tasks easier to accomplish.

Speech Therapy

Our speech therapists educate each patient on
their individualized disease process and suggest
exercises that assist in retraining the muscles
that aid in speech and swallowing. Focused on
improving swallowing/speech difficulties, they
provide compensatory techniques to help increase
speech production, and suggest diet and fluid
modifications when the task of swallowing
becomes difficult.

Dietary Counseling

Our dietitian will evaluate the client’s dietary
needs and advise which foods to incorporate
or eliminate from his/her diet for optimal
health. The dietitian’s recommendations and
meal plans are based on an analysis of the
client’s wellness and nutritional needs.

Home Health Aides

Home health aides operate under the close
supervision of the occupational therapist and
other healthcare professionals. They provide
assistance with bathing, dressing, and other
personal hygiene needs. Our home health
aides pride themselves on providing the
accurate amount of assistance so the process
of transitioning back to independence will be
less difficult and overwhelming.

Social Work Assistance

Our social workers help locate additional
resources and support within the community
that may be needed to provide a smoother
transition back to the home setting,
especially after an extended hospital or
nursing home stay.
