Hutcheson Home Health

Hutcheson Home Health is among the 2006 HomeCare Elite in the nation, allowing it the prestigious recognition of being named among the most successful home care providers in the country. In order to rank among the HomeCare Elite, a home health agency must be a Medicare-certified agency whose performance measures in quality, improvement and financial performance are among the top 25% of providers nationwide.

Hutcheson Home Health and our professional home care associates combine the latest in medical technology with compassionate patient care - all within the patient’s home.

Why Use Home Health Services?

Home Health provides a faster recovery time within the convenience and comfort of the patient’s home, family-support, and is far less expensive than hospital-based or nursing home care. When given a choice, the vast majority of patients choose to recover at home. Our home health professionals care for adults and children with acute illnesses, long-term health conditions or permanent disability.

What Types of Medical Treatments and Services are Available?

Hutcheson offers a complete continuum of medical and social support services to a wide variety of patients. Sophisticated medical treatments, once available only in a hospital setting, can now be administered safely in the home. The patient will remain under his physician’s care and will be treated in accordance with the physician’s orders. Some of our many treatments and services include:

• Cardiac Care Specialists
• Chaplaincy
• Home Care Aides
