Nearly 60 Years of Experience
Bond County Health Department Home Health Care (Visiting Nurses) began in 1966 and has advanced through the years to meet the needs of the community and neighboring counties.
Our Care Philosophy
Health care in the home is comprehensive yet specific to the patient which contributes to the quality of life and may decrease recovery time. Bond County Home Health provides an alternative for patients who need skilled care, but do not require 24-hour supervision.
Services are provided to patients under the direction of the patient’s doctor. Each patient has an individualized plan of care to acquire the best medical, physical, and psychosocial outcomes. The plan of care includes your physician, one-on-one care, family/caregiver assistance, patient education, disease intervention, and promotes independency to your health care needs.
The goal of Home Health is to provide skilled quality patient care in the home setting. As patient insurance and Medicare/Medicaid providers require hospitals to reduce their hospital stays, a number of patients returning home have ongoing needs. Home Health care is a valuable alternative to long hospital stays or nursing home placement.
