Senior Citizen Hospital’s home care assists patients who require in-home health care services. In the past, this level of medical attention was only available in the hospital or nursing home setting. Home care offers patients the opportunity to benefit from the same level of care without having to leave the comfort of their home.
Our team of registered nurses, nurses aides, social workers, home health aids, social workers and physical, occupational and speech therapists work with the patient and their family to design a plan specifically tailored to their needs and to offer the patient as much independence as possible throughout the recovery process.
The home health team works to promote, maintain or restore the client's health. The goal is to minimize the effects of illness and disability allowing the client to remain in the home setting. Patient/family education and coordination of medical care is an essential portion to the success of a client remaining in the home.
Home care is designed for patients who
• Don’t need continuous care, such as in a skilled nursing facility (rehab hospital) or long-term acute care facility (transitional care hospital)
• Need help recovering from or learning to manage health conditions at home
• Have mobility or functional issues
• Have difficulty leaving their home
