Overview
Home health care plays an important role in a patient’s recovery. It allows patients to receive needed health related services in the comfort of their own home, surrounded by their family, friends and a supportive health care team. Our multi-disciplinary team will focus on helping patients and their families become independent in their care and remain independent in their home environment.
Home health care may be used to learn:

  • About disease processes and medications
  • How to manage ongoing health issues
  • Home exercises to enhance ability to be independent and regain lost function
  • How to accomplish activities of daily living
  • How to address swallowing, language and cognitive problems
  • How to do wound care, promote healing and prevent skin breakdown
