| Home Care Services St. Cloud Hospital Home Care is
a comprehensive home care agency developed to meet the needs
of patients who are best served at home. Patients qualifying
for home health care are those who require extended professional
care after discharge from the hospital or during the course
of clinic treatment. Our dedicated staff of professionals
is sensitive to the needs of patients and their families.
We provide high-quality medical care and emotional support
while encouraging independent living.
Home care is provided seven days a week. A registered nurse
is on-call 24 hours a day. Self-referrals for home care services
are accepted or a referral may be made by a physician, family
member or friend. Once the referral is made, our staff will
contact the patient’s physician to discuss the services
needed. A nurse or therapist will provide an initial assessment
to the patient.
Most insurers cover skilled home care services. Home care
charges will be billed to you and submitted to your insurance
company (Medicare, Medicaid and/or private insurance).
Through our extended care program, we provide services for
patients who are medically stable, but still need some assistance
at home. These services are usually paid for by the client,
though extended care services may be covered by Medicare or
long-term care insurance.

- professional nursing
- physical
and occupational
therapy

Palliative
care is a new program that assists patients and families
in dealing with advanced illness. The program aims to alleviate
pain and provide social, spiritual and emotional support,
regardless of whether the patient chooses curative or comfort
care. Patients may still receive treatment, such as dialysis,
radiation and transfusions.
Staff
A team of skilled professionals works together with the patient’s
physician to provide a total continuum of care. Our home care
team includes:
