Skilled Nursing
Skilled home nursing care is available for people who have an illness, injury or have been in the hospital. Services are provided in your own home and may include assessments, teaching, managing acute and chronic conditions, IV therapy, drawing blood for lab tests, giving medicines by injection, caring for a wound or teaching you and your family about your medication and treatments.
A physician must order skilled nursing home visits and our nurses will keep your physician updated on your recovery.
Home care nurses help you return to your independent lifestyle and are available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. They are knowledgeable about the area resources that will help you recover and stay well. They can make referrals to several different agencies in the area.
Home Care Aide
We also have a staff of home care aides that are available to assist you with a variety of needs such as:
- Personal care services- bathing, skin & hair care, foot care, therapeutic exercises
- Teaching parenting skills to new parents through a Family Connections program
