Benefits of Home Health

“Without these women surrounding me with their loving care, I would have been stuck – who knows where. That’s a scary thought when you’re dealing with pain and healing. We are so lucky to have them in our corner.” Bettie Snyder, Sharon, CT

Visiting Nurse & Hospice of Litchfield County’s home health services are provided by our team of health care professionals who enable you or your loved one to receive the health care you need in the comfort of your own home or wherever you call home.

There are many benefits to receiving healthcare in the privacy and comfort of your home, including caregivers who travel to you and fit into your life; tools that are provided to you so you can live on your own terms and a consistent team of caregivers.  This reduces the risk of exposure to disease or infection, which may be increased in group settings but not in the home, and thereby minimizes the possibility of rehospitalization. 

Whether you are recuperating from surgery, short-term illness, need continued support for managing a chronic health condition or help in managing medications, our team of nurses, therapists, certified nursing assistants, and home health aides provides medical services and rehabilitation and assistance with activities of daily living.

Home health services from Visiting Nurse & Hospice of Litchfield County guarantee a patient centered experience, providing you with a team of caring professionals, advocating on your behalf and facilitating communication between you, your family and your physician.

Home health services are covered by Medicare and Medicaid, as well as many private insurance plans. Donations and endowments from individuals and businesses provide financial assistance for patients who are unable to pay for care.

Our team travels to your home so that you can continue to enjoy your life with the people you love while receiving the health care services you need. Contact us today and we will be glad to assist you in getting the services you need.
