FAQ

Q: What is home healthcare?

A: Imagine if a nurse or therapist could bring you skilled care at home, while teaching you how to live more independently so you can stay at home. That’s what home healthcare is all about. Our services can help you rehabilitate from medical events like stroke or surgery. We can also help you manage chronic conditions such as diabetes, heart disease or arthritis. Simply put, home healthcare helps you live your life to its fullest through care that’s delivered right in the comfort of your home.
