About Home Care Services
Going Beyond Home Care, VHS offers a variety of in-home supportive care services to help our clients maintain the dignity and independence everyone deserves. From housekeeping to personal care, the purpose of home care is to promote, maintain, and restore the health of our clients while minimizing the effects of an illness, loneliness, or disability. Home Care Services are tailored to the individual needs of the client and their family.
Supervised by Registered Nurses, our Certified Home Health Aides are licensed under the Board of Nursing and follow a Plan of Care developed by the nurse and the family. The Plan of Care is reevaluated every 60 days and nurses check in with the client at least once every 30 days to make sure the client and family are satisfied with their service.
