A Network of Resources for Elderly Adults
Expertise and experience
Our expertise and experience have allowed us to develop a network of resources that provide a variety of services to our homebound patients. We are able to utilize mobile x-ray and diagnostic services as well as a variety of specialized medical services such as dental, eye, and podiatry that can provide visits to our homebound patients.
Home Care agencies
Home Care agencies are incorporated into the plan for skilled nursing, physical therapy, occupational therapy and speech therapy if the patient is medically appropriate. We also assess each patient and make referrals for medical equipment such as wheelchairs, walkers and hospital beds, and we work closely with each county’s Office of Aging.
Diagnose, prescribe and treat
All of these resources allow us to diagnose, prescribe and treat our homebound patients appropriately. Our social worker is responsible for coordinating the home based practice. Home visits by medical staff are made on a regular basis for routine check-ups and examinations. Visits are also made if there is a sudden change in the patient’s condition or other medical crisis. These medical visits are made by a physician or physician assistant.
On call, 24/7
Our physician’s assistant, and physicians are on call twenty four hours a day and seven days a week for any medical issues.
We Help Add Life To Years.
Our compassionate caregivers are looking forward to hearing from you.
