    What Is Home Care?

    Kindred at Home offers a variety of services to patients and clients in their homes or places of residence. Home care services range from non-medical personal assistance to skilled nursing and rehabilitation.

    Home Health

    Home health can help patients transition home after a hospital stay or can be ordered by your doctor if your conditions or medication change. Home health visits (often two or three times a week) are focused on helping maintain independence by teaching you about your condition and helping you cope and take your medications at the right time, in the right amounts. Home health can also help with your specific nutritional needs, reduce your fall risk and more.

    • Podiatric care
    • Health counseling
    • Smoking cessation treatment
    • Diabetic counseling
    • Mobile lab draws
    • Wound care consults
    • Gynecological services
    • Hospice coordination
    • Palliative care
    • Continuation-of-care rehab
    • Mobile sleep studies

    Personal Home Care Assistance

    Your care doesn't always end with medical needs. That's where personal home care assistance comes in. This care may include personal hygiene assistance, meal preparation, transportation, companionship and respite care for caregivers who need time to run errands or just take time for themselves.

    Home-Based Primary Care

    If you or a loved one are unable to leave home for doctor's visits, physician house calls brings the necessary care to you. Primary, specialty and urgent care services are provided in your own home, assisted living or independent living facility by a care team made up of physicians, nurse practitioners and physician assistants.
