Home Health

		Home is where the health is.
		Home health care is an efficient and cost-effective alternative to hospital care and other types of institutional care. In some cases home health can provide an earlier discharge from the hospital. Our Home Health team delivers comprehensive medical care within a patient’s home when they are unable to leave it without considerable assistance. We work collaboratively with the patient, the patient’s family and physicians to help the patient recuperate, rehabilitate and learn more about their health. And we help the family stay together in the comfort, security and privacy of the home, wherever that home may be.
		Who is eligible for Home Health?
		Everyone is eligible to receive Home Health care regardless of age, sex, race, religion, national origin, handicap, lifestyle, and type of illness or financial situation.
