What Is Home Care?

Now, more than ever, the ability to receive care and services from the comfort of your home is a benefit. For seniors and other high-risk individuals, it removes the need to leave home and reduces exposure to harmful viruses.

Home Care services can help to reduce falls, readmissions, hospitalizations, and isolation. Whether recovering from an injury, living with a chronic illness, needing additional support to live safely at home, or seeking end-of-life care that allows you to remain with your family, there is a Home Care service that fits.

Home Health

Home health services are used for people who can live safely at home, but require the services of a skilled clinician. Patients who require home health services are medically homebound and generally only leave their homes for physician appointments. Typically, patients receive a combination of nursing, therapy, medical social work, and or home health aide visits over a 60-day period. After Home Health services many people are discharged with no further services. Others may transition to outpatient rehab, or continue Home Health services for longer periods of time to manage a chronic health condition. Services include:

• Nursing
• Therapy – Speech, Occupational and Physical
• Medical Social Services
• Home Health Aides

To learn more call Allied Services Home Health at 570-348-2200.

Hospice Care

Hospice care is for patients who are in the final stages of life. Instead of “curing” the patient’s condition, treatment is focused on improving their comfort and quality of life. We use a holistic approach to hospice care designed to address physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual needs. Counseling and bereavement services are also offered for friends and loved ones. Services include:

• Routine and continuous care
• Nursing services
• Counseling, spiritual and bereavement support

• Assisting in coordinating medical care
• Guidance with treatment options and medical goals
