Geriatric Care
The Home Health/Hospice nurses understand the physical, emotional, and social changes that occur
with aging. They help the elderly plan care that promotes independence and quality of life in the home
setting.
Diabetic Management
Nurses provide current information about diabetes care and assist the physician in implementing the
most up-to-date interventions used in combating diabetic complications.
Cancer Care
Certified Hospice & Palliative Care Nurses answer cancer clients' specific questions about the the
disease process, treatment, nutrition, and pain control while providing experienced care and support.
Post-Hospital Recovery
Hospital stays are shortened when home health nurses perform dressing changes, remove stitches or
staples, instruct on post-operative self-care, or do other treatment and therapies in the home.
Wound Care
Our wound care program offers current wound care technology including photographic
documentation, evaluation of the wound's underlying causes, response to treatment and clinical
pathways that involve and instruct clients in self-care techniques. Our nurses have also received
training on the V.A.C., a state of the art wound care procedure.
Enteral/Parental Therapy
Nutrition, fluid replacement, antibiotic therapy, and pain management administered at home.
Client Evaluation and Management
Clients whose health and safety are in jeopardy due to multiple medical or complex care needs utilize
skilled nursing services to evaluate and manage their care to promote maximum recovery and safety.
Palliative Care
This home health program emphasizes pain and symptom control for those facing life-limiting
illnesses. Clients may be pursuing curative treatment, have an extended prognosis, or otherwise be
inappropriate for Hospice services. This program is oversaw by the Hospice IDT and Certified
Hospice & Palliative Care Nurses are available for consult.
