SPECIAL Program Overviews
Ostomy/Wound Care
Excellence in wound care can mean the difference between a rapid recovery or a return to the hospital. Our nurses receive extensive training in proper care. Our staff also has expertise in debridement agents and wound dressings so that you can quickly regain function.
Pain Management Services
Pain is a poorly understood consequence of many medical procedures and, when left unchecked, can leave the patient unable to function. Homestead will assess and monitor uncontrolled pain and work with your medical team to facilitate your comfort and well being.
Orthopedic Rehabilitative Services
Advances in joint replacement have made it critical that the patient be actively maintained after they return home. We have a physical therapist on staff to assess and plan a program of recovery that ultilizes the latest in technology
Diabetes Care Integrated Services
Millions of Americans experience difficulties associated with Type I or Type II diabetes. Being able to remain at home can be challenging in learning how to perform monitoring and self-care. Homestead emphasizes patient instruction and close monitoring that includes the entire health team.
Therapy Services Available
Homestead offers Physical Therapy, Occupational Therapy, and Speech Therapy as ordered by your Physician. These services are usually covered by Medicare and/or Insurance.
Geriatric Wellness Program
"Old" is a state of mind and Homestead is uniquely suited to assessing and expanding the abilities of older patients so that they enjoy the full extent of those later years. We perform a thorough assessment of the patient's mental and physical status and evaluate their home setting for safety and supportive equipment and design.
Social Services
We have a licensed social worker to assess financial needs, assistance with long term planning, and assistance with essential daily needs.
Lifestyle tips
Have all necessary info
When going to the doctor's office or out of town for travel make sure that you have a list of your medical history and any medications that you take.
Plan your recovery
When returning to the home after a medical procedure have a plan of action worked out in advance so that needed support is there.
Be comfortable
Why wear tight shoes if you sit behind a desk all day? Give yourself a break and slip into slippers.
Do your homework
A knowledgeable health care consumer is better able to make choices and to evaluate risk.
Homestead At-Home is a unique service designed to allow our clients to stay in their home while preserving their independence and healthy lifestyle.
OUR MISSION
We are living longer but with the years the challenges of everyday life can become overwhelming. Family might not be available and isolation can make it hard to reach out. Our services are intended to provide guidance and support so that our clients can remain in their homes.
OUR SERVICES
We provide as-needed services ranging from simple bath and grooming help to 24 hour sitters or comprehensive nursing care:
Waiting for a problem to happen is not a good life strategy. Our care manager is proactive with the guidance about future planning needs. Regular telephone or home visitation gives you peace of mind that your loved ones are as independent as possible. No matter what the situation we are there to find solutions for our clients.

3. No food in the refrigerator.
4. Scorched pots and pans.
5. Personal hygiene lapses.
6. Missed doctor appointments.
7. Repeated phone calls at unusual hours.

Making Contact
Home health referrals can be initiated by the physician, the patient, or their families. Upon receiving the referral request we will verify the patient's eligibility and appropriateness for home health services. We will contact the attending physician for orders and to generate the initial treatment plan.
Medicare pays 100% of the expense of our services in the home if the patient needs skilled nursing care or rehabilitative therapy, the patient is homebound, and the service has been ordered by the physician. Qualifications under which other health insurance carriers operate can vary greatly. We will check with your insurance carrier and advise you of your coverage.
