The Home Nursing Program seeks to improve the quality of life of our patients by increasing their medical stability and safety in their own home, so they may age in place independently with grace and dignity. The Home Nursing Program assists low-income, frail individuals aged 60 years and over with many economic, medical, and social needs. We serve the most economically disadvantaged and vulnerable senior citizens in the county who are not eligible for Medicaid. 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 prevent unplanned hospitalizations and long term institutionalization.
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 Patients and Visits:
