Choosing the right care service—whether it’s home health, palliative care, or hospice—is an important decision that can significantly improve the quality of life for individuals with varying care needs, while also providing vital support to families during challenging times. Asking the right questions is one of the best ways to ensure you find the care that suits your situation.
A local care provider should be more than willing to help you understand the available services and how they can meet your unique needs. We encourage you and your family to reflect on what matters most and ask the questions that will guide you toward the right care choice.

Home health care provides skilled medical care and assistance to patients in the comfort of their homes. It includes services such as nursing care, physical therapy, and help with daily activities, allowing individuals to recover or manage health conditions at home.
Our home health care services include:
- Skilled nursing care (wound care, IV therapy, medication management)
- Physical, occupational, and speech therapy
- Assistance with activities of daily living (bathing, dressing, medication reminders)
- Chronic disease management
- Post-surgical recovery support
Home health care is typically for individuals recovering from surgery, managing chronic illnesses, or requiring short-term medical assistance at home. Eligibility is usually determined by a healthcare provider based on the patient's medical condition.
Our home health care team consists of highly trained professionals, including registered nurses, licensed therapists, and certified home health aides. Each team member undergoes rigorous training and holds the necessary certifications to provide top-quality care, ensuring that your health and well-being are in expert hands.
You can start by contacting us to arrange a free consultation. We will assess your needs, discuss your goals, and create a personalized care plan in collaboration with your healthcare provider.
Many insurance plans, including Medicare and Medicaid, cover home health care services when prescribed by a doctor. We can help verify your coverage and walk you through the insurance process to ensure you get the care you need.
The frequency of visits depends on your individual care plan. A nurse or therapist may visit several times a week or less frequently based on your medical needs and the goals of your care.
During a visit, our skilled nurse or therapist will provide the specific care outlined in your care plan. This may include wound care, medication administration, therapy exercises, or monitoring your health condition. They will also assess your progress and adjust the care plan as necessary.
