We offer the following
Features and Programs to assist our patients
in the transition from institutional care to
home health care:
|
|
Weekend
and Evening Admissions:
We recognize that medical
care may be required at any time, according
to patient needs. Therefore, upon physician
or case manager request, a Registered Nurse
will perform evening and weekend admissions
at times other agencies may refuse to do so.
|
|
Coordination
of Ancillary Services:
We will assist in
coordinating the delivery of all home care
services necessary. Ancillary Services such
as Pharmaceutical, Home Medical Equipment
and Supplies. Our Patient Care Coordinator
will be more than happy to contact any
ancillary services as well as other
preferred providers designated by your case
manager.

Spanish/English
Bilingual Services:
We understand the need in
our community for bilingual services. That
is why our administration and field staff,
for the most part, are bilingual in
Spanish/English. Upon patient request, a
translator will be provided during patient
admission. Home Health Care Network
provides Spanish/English translators 24
hours a day, seven days a week at no
extra cost to our patients.

|
Patient
Hospitality Program:
We are
aware that many patients being discharged
from skilled nursing facilities (SNF) live
alone and are in need of extra assistance
when arriving back home. Upon request, Home
Health Care Network will provide our
homebound patients who live alone with a
courtesy Home Care Provider Visit (up to 2
hours) to assist in picking up groceries,
light housekeeping duties or other domestic
services. Again, this service is at no
extra cost to our patients.
|
|
Hospital/Nursing
Home Clinical Record Review:
Upon
patient referral and at your request, Home
Health Care Network will arrange for a
pre-discharge skilled assessment at the
facility. A Registered Nurse will consult
with the physician, patient, family members
and the facility's discharge planner to
identify the patient's needs and coordinate
the services needed. Home Health Care
Network will give your case manager or
designated personnel a report on our
findings.
|
|
Customer
Satisfaction:
We
conduct quarterly patient, physician, and
case managers surveys to assess service,
satisfaction and needs for improvement.
Additionally, supervisory visits are made to
ensure that goals delineated in the plan of
care are being met.
