Home Care
With hospital stays becoming shorter, same-day surgery increasing and nursing home care shifting to a focus on rehabilitative care, the need for home care services is increasing. People from birth to advanced age may have a health condition requiring care.
Healing at Home is Best
- Home care keeps families together. Patient and family are taught to participate in their health care.
- Home care promotes healing. There is much scientific evidence that patients heal more quickly at home.
- Home care helps people remain independent.
- Home care is personalized and tailored to meet the needs of the individual client.
Ridgeview’s Home Care services are available 24 hours a day, seven days a week to people of all ages recovering from surgery or an illness. Home care providers offer coordination of care for patients, families and caregivers.
