Why Home Health Care?
The need for Home Health care has grown for many reasons. Medical science and technology have improved and many treatments that could once be done only in a hospital can now be done at home. Also, Home Health care is usually less expensive and can often be just as effective as care in a hospital or skilled nursing facility and just as important. Most patients and their families prefer to stay in the comfort of their own homes rather than be in a hospital or a nursing facility.
What Services Are Included?
While receiving Home Health care, Staff will educate and teach you, and those who help you, to continue any care you may need, including medication, wound care, therapy, and managing stress.
Most often, the types of services performed in Home Health care include skilled nursing associated with performing and teaching about injections, tube feeding, catheter changes, wound care, observation and assessment of your condition, and the management and evaluation of your overall treatment plan. Skilled therapy services like physical, speech, or occupational therapy which is necessary for treating your condition are also provided. Additionally, certified aides, medical supplies, and equipment are also available through Home Health Services.
