Skilled Nursing Services

The Skilled Nurse is a Registered Nurse or Licensed Vocational Nurse with training and experience in providing care outside the hospital or nursing home environment. The nurse is the patient health care team leader and coordinates all of the services, which the patient receives. The nurse also communicates frequently with the patient's physician to update their plan of treatment.

Services may include evaluation of the patient's needs, performance of skilled nursing procedures, education of patient, family member s and caregivers on Disease Processes, Medications, Diet, Self Care Techniques and Preventive Strategies. Our staff has strong wound care background including Wound Vac. We are also available for Home IV infusion of Antibiotics and Hydrations with the supervision of the ordering physician or our medical director as the case might be.

Home Health Aide

Home Health Aide services are utilized when there is a specific need for personal care on a part time basis in your home. The Home Health Aide is an unlicensed health care worker. As such, he or she may work only under the supervision and direction of a Registered Nurse. If there is no need for "Skilled Care" nursing or Therapist, the Home health aide will not be ordered. Also if you already have the services of a state paid provider, you are usually not eligible for home health aide services if the provider is performing personal care services for you.

Our aides have had experience caring for people in need and have been carefully chosen to provide care for the patients of our agency. An Aide is used when there is a specific need for personal care on a part-time basis at home. Typical duties include assistance with bathing and hygiene needs, shampooing hair and changing bed linen. Specific duties to be performed by the home health aide will be formulated by the patient and the Registered Nurse and designated on the aide care plan.

Physical and Occupational Therapy

For rehabilitation or therapy a licensed therapist or licensed therapy assistant under the direction of the therapist provides Physical Therapy and/or Occupational Therapy. The therapist will provide specific information about the services and treatments he/she will provide to you.
