Our Riverside County home health are available to adults of all ages. Our skilled nursing and therapy services work with your physician to provide the appropriate level of supervision and care in the comfort of home.

Home care nurses are skilled professionals, and the care that they provide is directed by your physician’s orders. While they sometimes assist with certain ADLs during a visit, their time will mostly be devoted to ensuring your medical needs are met.

In some cases, yes, but in most cases, with the right support, home is just as safe and more comfortable than a rehabilitative facility. However, this is a personal decision, and the right answer varies from family to family. It helps to think about your loved ones goals. If they include aging in place, home health care might be the best solution. While many facilities offer high quality care, keep in mind that only home health care provides individualized, completely customized care in the privacy of home. For many families, this means more time surrounded by the people and things that their loved one enjoys most and less of a financial burden on the family, especially when living with a chronic medical condition.

Our home health nurses recognize the importance of continuity of care. Monitoring vitals, taking medications on time and participating in physical or occupational therapy are all important steps that support recovery, health and well being. Communication is key. As part of your initial assessment, we will contact your doctor, hospital discharge planner and social worker to ensure that we have a thorough understanding of their orders and goals for you. Then, we’ll work with them to ensure that these goals are being met and they are aware of progress or setbacks. Together, and in collaboration with you and your family, we will use this information to both create and constantly modify the plan of care, ensuring that it best meets your needs.

When you return home after a hospital discharge, it’s time for you to relax, focus on your physical and mental health, and spend time with family and friends. To assist you in doing this, we’ll take an active role in helping to coordinate your therapy schedule and manage any medications. Our home health nurses will also offer training so that your loved ones can better understand their role in the recovery process and assist in managing your needs, to whatever level you and they are comfortable with. We’ll be there every step of the way, working with you, listening, and sharing valuable information that helps you to make the most of your recovery.
