Home health aides work under the direction of a Registered Nurse (RN). They help with day-to-day personal care, bathing, and ambulation. They also provide nutritional, social and emotional support.
Therapy services such as physical, occupational and speech therapists provide in-home assessments and therapies to optimize your ability to remain safely in your home.
Licensed social workers are available to help navigate a variety of issues from housing to applying for disability. Social workers ensure that psychosocial and other barriers are minimized so that the client can concentrate on healing and regaining their independence.
