About Homecare

Thanks to homecare, people of all ages can get the care and support they need right in their own home. Homecare professionals offer a long list of medical and health-related services. Homecare's popularity among patients, families, doctors and insurance providers increases every day because:

• Patients are being discharged from hospitals earlier, yet need continuing care.
• Continuing medical care and monitoring in the home can reduce readmissions to the hospital.
• Families can be together during recovery times.
• Patients' morale is better at home, often leading to faster recoveries.
• Care and support in the home is an alternative to more costly care in a nursing home.

Pennsylvania's homecare providers offer prompt, courteous service from highly qualified professionals. Homecare makes healthcare personal. You will notice a genuine concern for your comfort and well-being. Homecare professionals will keep you well informed about how you're progressing, and they will call your doctor any time there are concerns about your condition.

Programs Designed for Individual Needs

Each patient is different. Each plan of care is different. Care in the home is a personal experience, and the bond that can form between the homecare professional, whether that is a nurse, therapist or homecare aide, and the patient is special. It's no surprise that patient satisfaction with homecare is consistently high. It's simple. People like receiving care at home. And today's homecare professionals are experts at providing it.

Medical services are always provided under the direction of a physician. Common diagnoses resulting in a referral to homecare include:

• Cardiac Problems

• Hip and Knee Replacement
• Stroke
• Cancer

• Rehabilitation

Keep in mind that homecare agencies can do virtually anything to help people stay at home, just ask.
