Information and Services

In-Home Care

Is supportive care provided in the home. Care may be provided by licensed healthcare professionals who provide medical treatment needs or by professional caregivers who provide daily assistance to ensure the activities of daily living are met.

Home Health

Home health services help adults, seniors, who are recovering after a hospital or facility stay, or need additional support to remain safely at home and avoid unnecessary hospitalization. These Medicare-certified services may include short-term nursing, rehabilitative, therapeutic, and assistive home health care. This care is provided by registered nurses (RNs), licensed practical nurses (LPN’s), physical therapists (PTs), occupational therapists (OTs), speech language pathologists (SLPs), home health aides (HHAs) and medical social workers (MSWs) as a limited number of up to one hour visits, addressed primarily through the Medicare Home Health benefit.

Hospice Care

Hospice care will provide medical services, emotional support and spiritual resources for those who are in the last stages of any terminal illness. The illness is not as important as the stage of the illness and the eminence of death. Hospice will help family members manage some of the practical details of coping with individuals who are experiencing their last days and the emotional challenges of caring for someone who is dying.

Senior Center

Services are designed to promote and maintain health and well-being, enhance quality of life, strengthen support networks and recognize individual desires to remain active, productive and independent.
