Patient Quality Care
 
                 

 

We have a dedicated team of healthcare professionals who are assigned to each client to ensure that his or her needs are met. Our team will also provide an admission conference, education and information to both the client and in-home caregiver to better ensure their participation in the Plan of Care.

  • A Case Manager provides communication and information for both the client and in-home caregiver. She or he ensures that the client's health, well being is being and concerns are addressed. She coordinates the care between the patients, the caregivers and the professional staff seeing the patient. The doctors and their office staff are always made aware and informed of significant changes in the patient's condition or any clinical issues that arise.
  • A Registered Nurse develops, modifies and oversees the customized care plan and supervises the care for your loved one. The nurse acts as the eyes and ears for the client's Physician and communicates with both the Physician and our office the outcomes and needs of a client. With an assigned nurse, the client and caregiver are able to receive one-on-one quality time and personalized education. We also have Registered Nurses who are specialized and are experienced in wound care.
