What is Home Health Care?
It is healthcare that bridges the gap between home and hospital, providing care under the direction of the patient’s physician. It helps patients and their families manage disease, independently care for themselves and rehabilitate to the highest level of function possible. The professional home health team works closely with patients and their families to achieve their healthcare goals. Providing care at home for people who are sick may prevent or shorten hospital stays and allows people to recover in the comfort of their homes.
Health Connect at Home provides nursing and rehabilitation care to patients following an illness, a hospitalization or a nursing stay. Their registered nursing staff is on call 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
