Home health services are an essential part of the health care delivery system. Home health services minimize the effects of illness, accident, or disability by providing continuing care to clients in their own homes. The agency recognizes the worth of all people, including the elderly or those with disabilities. The contributions of these people are more important than those of other people in our society. We help these people retain or regain their participation in society. The aging process is part of life. Chronic disease and disability may be part of the process.
The Agency recognizes that clients and their families have certain rights. They have the right to participate in the planning of their care, to make decisions about their health care, and to maintain their independence as long as possible. Agency has a health education program. The behavior, attitudes, knowledge, and understanding of our staff have an important influence on helping clients attain and maintain their health.
We are committed to the rehabilitation of aged, diseased, and/or disabled individuals within their home environment, allowing maximum contribution, retention of self-respect, and independence. We commit to providing appropriate care and coordinated services for dying individuals when rehabilitation or recovery is not realistic.
