- Home Health Care and Hospice Services
Home Health Care and Hospice are vital services, especially in the rural areas
served by Hoosier Uplands. Services provided by the home care staff can
prevent or shorten a hospital or nursing home stay. Home Health promotes
independent living and speeds the rehabilitation and recovery process by
allowing a person to recuperate in familiar home surroundings.
Hospice supports the client and family as they face the last stages of life, by
offering support and comfort, primarily in the home setting, allowing
dignity, self control, symptom management, and family togetherness.
Hoosier Uplands Home Health Care & Hospice is committed to providing
the highest quality and most cost effective home care in its service area. Our
focus is on patient satisfaction. We recognize and emphasize the critical
concept of provider integration, working as a team with physicians, hospitals,
nursing homes, managed care organizations, as well as public and private
insurers, in order to deliver health care at home.
