Scope of Services
The Home Health Care is a hospital-based, community program, which was established in 2008 to facilitate discharges from the hospital and for continuation of patient's care. It developed to include as goals, not only to decrease hospital length of stay but also to reduce ER visits, re-admission to hospital, visits to clinics and laboratories and also as an alternative to hospitalization, i.e. palliative care and IV therapy.

We believe that home health care provides a cost-effective alternative to hospital care whereby the patients heal better in their familiar home environment. The care that we give is based on respect for the dignity and worth of each and every client we value the professionalism, competency, and team work amongst our staff. Clients and their families are empowered in the care planning process.
