Specialty Care Services for Seniors
Haven of Care Home Health provides specialized, skilled home health services for seniors and adults who need clinical care and rehabilitation in the comfort of home. Our specialty programs are designed for patients recovering from hospitalization, managing complex medical conditions, healing from wounds or surgery, or experiencing changes in their ability to function independently.
Working under an individualized Plan of Care, our skilled nurses, therapists, and home health aides coordinate with physicians and other healthcare providers to support recovery, manage symptoms, prevent complications, and help patients remain safely at home.
What’s Included in Specialty Home Health Care
1. Cardiac & Congestive Heart Failure (CHF) Care
Patients with heart disease or congestive heart failure may require close monitoring after hospitalization or when managing changes in their condition.
How Care Is Provided:
Our skilled nurses assess heart and lung status, monitor blood pressure, pulse, weight, edema, shortness of breath, and other symptoms. Nurses also provide medication education, reinforce physician-ordered dietary and fluid recommendations, and teach patients and caregivers how to recognize warning signs of worsening heart failure.
Changes in condition are reported to the physician promptly to support early intervention and help reduce avoidable emergency room visits and hospital readmissions.
2. Diabetes Management & Education
Diabetes can become more difficult to manage when a patient has recently been hospitalized, experiences medication changes, develops complications, or has difficulty independently managing the condition.
How Care Is Provided:
Our skilled nurses provide blood glucose monitoring and education, medication and insulin teaching, diabetic foot assessments, nutrition education consistent with the Plan of Care, and instruction on recognizing signs of hypoglycemia and hyperglycemia.
When ordered, nurses may also provide insulin administration, wound care, and additional skilled services related to diabetes management.
3. Wound Care & Skin Integrity Management
Patients with surgical wounds, pressure injuries, diabetic wounds, vascular wounds, or other complex skin conditions may require skilled nursing care to support healing and prevent complications.
How Care Is Provided:
Our nurses assess and document wound condition, perform physician-ordered dressing changes and treatments, monitor for signs of infection or deterioration, and educate patients and caregivers on wound protection and skin care.
Nurses communicate wound progress and significant changes to the physician and coordinate updates to the treatment plan when necessary.
4. Post-Hospital & Post-Surgical Recovery Care
The first days and weeks following hospitalization or surgery can be especially important to a patient’s recovery. Home health services provide continued clinical oversight after the patient returns home.
How Care Is Provided:
Our skilled nurses review discharge instructions, reconcile medications, complete comprehensive assessments, monitor surgical sites and symptoms, provide ordered treatments, and educate patients and caregivers about the recovery plan.
Physical and occupational therapy may be provided when ordered to address weakness, mobility, balance, transfers, activities of daily living, and functional independence.
Home health aides may also assist with approved personal-care needs as part of the patient’s Home Health Plan of Care.
5. Neurological & Stroke Recovery Care
Patients recovering from a stroke or living with neurological conditions may experience weakness, balance problems, difficulty walking, communication challenges, swallowing concerns, or reduced ability to complete everyday activities.
How Care Is Provided:
Our skilled nurses monitor neurological status, medications, vital signs, safety concerns, and changes in the patient’s condition.
When ordered, physical therapy helps address strength, balance, walking, transfers, and mobility. Occupational therapy focuses on improving the patient’s ability to safely complete daily activities, while speech therapy may address communication, cognition, and swallowing difficulties.
Home health aides may provide additional personal-care assistance under the established Plan of Care.
