Do I Need Home Care?

Adults and children benefit from home health care if they:

  • Need help transitioning home from a hospital or nursing facility
  • Have a new diagnosis, multiple illnesses or a flareup of a chronic condition
  • Are healing after surgery
  • Often visit the emergency room
  • Need home adaptations to get around more safely and prevent falls
  • Take more than one medication or recently started taking a new drug
  • Have chronic pain that’s hard to control

If you’re a caregiver, our team can improve your loved one’s health while making your life easier.

    • Has easy access to your medical records, so you don’t need worry about completing paperwork
    • Can provide seamless referrals to CentraCare specialists, if needed
