Home Health Aide
Providing Accessible Care at Home
VNA staff work with Jolene regularly to help her maintain her overall health and well-being.
Supporting Independence at Home
Personal care, bathing and light housekeeping can become very overwhelming to those who are elderly, have disabilities or have chronic health conditions. Home Health Aide services help individuals maintain their safety and independence while helping delay or prevent the need to transition into a higher level of care, such as a skilled nursing facility.
Our services promote independence at home, decrease fall risks and foster health and wellbeing, which in turn leads to better healthcare management for the individual. The strong bonds VNA home health aides make with clients are critical to creating an environment of trust. This connection allows the creation of individualized care and goals.
These services are crucial for vulnerable individuals. Our team serves those with or without family support and those who may have limited financial resources. With the assistance of United Way of the Midlands, we are able to care for individuals who are uninsured or otherwise unable to afford or access services.
