Balance & Mobility
Home Care staff can help you improve your balance and ability to do more safely. By coming to you, we work on function in your specific environment. We also use a variety of balance tests and interventions to tailor your rehab specifically to you.
Recovery After Hospitalization
Whether you had surgery or were hospitalized for a medical condition, we'll help you understand your medications and your doctor’s instructions so you can fully recover and return to your level of independence.
Disease Management
Skilled nurses and therapy staff work together with your healthcare provider to determine a plan of care that's specific to your needs. Nursing will monitor your health and provide education about managing your disease and the medications you are prescribed. Therapy will provide treatment to improve your strength, function and independence.
Cardiac Care
Our staff work closely with Dr. Lee and the Jewel & Jim Plumb Heart Center staff to provide the skilled care that you need at home, following a heart procedure. We'll help you return to independence in your home and community.

Parkinson’s disease, strokes, brain injuries, multiple sclerosis and other neurological conditions can be difficult for patients and their families. Our caring therapy staff and nurses will provide care to help reduce falls, maximize function, and promote independence.
Independent & Assisted Living
Individual and effective services help you age in place as long as possible in the place where you want to be. We work closely with your doctor and the facility staff to provide the best possible care for you.
Dementia Care
Our personalized approach allows you to remain in your own home while receiving care:

Our staff are experts in providing care after a total joint surgery or for another orthopedic condition and partner with the orthopedic doctors/providers to provide the specific care you need.
Paying for Home Heath:
For home care to be covered by your insurance, you must:
- Have a referral from a medical provider (such as a physician, nurse practitioner or physician assistant)
- Have a need for skilled nursing or therapy services
- Be home bound (it's difficult or taxing for you to leave your home)
Medicare Part A pays 100% of the cost for covered home health services.
