Since 1941 the Guild Home Health Nursing Program's mission has been to improve the quality of life for our patients by increasing their medical stability and monitoring safety in their own home, so they may age in place independently with grace and dignity. The Home Nursing Program assists low-income, homebound, aged 60 years and over, Mercer County residents with economic, medical, and social needs. We serve economically disadvantaged and vulnerable senior citizens in the county whose ongoing care is not covered by Medicare. Care coordination includes involving the family, all medical practices, pharmacy and other social services so that the patient can continue to live in familiar surroundings and help prevent unplanned hospitalizations and long term institutionalization.
In 2019 our Home Health Nursing Program received national accreditation from The National Institute for Home Health Care. This accreditation was received through completion of a thorough investigation and evaluation of our service and practices.

Our registered nurses offer more to our patients than just medical care. They routinely check for signs of elder abuse, food insecurity, isolation, and safety hazards. They provide comfort and companionship to those who are lonely and make referrals to other services such as Meals on Wheels, transportation to and from medical appointments, and full-time home health assistance, if needed.Our Visits ~
