Home Health Care

Request an Appointment

Tallahassee Memorial Home Health Care, in consultation with physicians, provides a variety of in-home medical services that ease the transition from hospital to home following a hospital stay, surgery or trauma.

These services, provided by nurses, physical, speech and occupational therapists, home health aides and medical social workers, ensure patients receive quality home care just as comprehensive as what is available at the hospital. Home health care helps patients recover, regain their independence, and become as self-sufficient as possible.

Home Health Care Services

Chronic Disease Management

Chronic disease management (CDM) helps people with long-term health conditions, such as heart disease, diabetes, and cancer, manage their symptoms and improve their quality of life.

Eldercare

Eldercare is the care of older adults who may need assistance with activities of daily living (ADLs) such as bathing, dressing, eating, and toileting.

Medication Education

Medication education is a crucial aspect of home health care, ensuring that patients understand their medications, their proper use, and how to manage potential side effects. Effective medication education empowers patients to take an active role in their healthcare, promoting adherence to their medication regimen and improving overall health outcomes.

Nutrition Planning

Nutrition planning is essential to home health care, ensuring that patients receive the appropriate nutrition to support their health, recovery, and overall well-being. Home health professionals play a crucial role in assessing patients' nutritional needs, developing personalized meal plans, and providing education on healthy eating habits.

Occupational Therapy

Occupational therapy (OT) helps people regain or maintain the skills they need to live independently and participate in meaningful activities of daily living (ADLs). Occupational therapists (OTs) work with individuals of all ages who have physical, cognitive, developmental, or emotional challenges.

Physical Therapy

Physical therapy (PT) helps people improve their movement and physical function. PTs work with individuals of all ages who have physical impairments caused by illness, injury, or disability.

Post-operative Recovery

Post-operative recovery is the period of time following surgery, during which the body heals and regains strength and function. The amount of time needed for post-operative recovery varies depending on the type of surgery, the patient's overall health, and other factors.

Remote Patient Monitoring

Remote patient monitoring (RPM) is a type of telehealth that uses technology to collect health data from patients outside of the traditional healthcare setting, such as in their homes. This data can then be used to monitor patients' health status, identify potential problems early, and provide care management services.

Skilled Nursing

Skilled nursing care is provided by licensed nurses (either a registered nurse or a licensed practical nurse). Skilled nursing care is provided to patients who have complex medical needs that require regular monitoring and care.

Speech Therapy

Speech therapy is a specialized service provided by licensed speech-language pathologists (SLPs) to individuals who require assistance with communication, swallowing, and cognitive-linguistic skills within the comfort of their own homes. SLPs work closely with patients, their families, and other healthcare professionals to assess, diagnose, and treat a wide range of speech-language disorders.

Telehealth

In home health care, telehealth allows healthcare providers to monitor patients' health, provide consultations, and deliver care from a distance, reducing the need for frequent in-person visits.

Home Health Aide

Home health aides provide personal care and assistance to patients in their homes. They offer essential support, companionship, and assistance with daily tasks, enabling patients to maintain their independence, dignity, and quality of life.

Medical Social Workers (MSW)

Medical social workers (MSWs) play a crucial role in providing psychosocial support and advocacy for patients facing complex medical, social, and emotional challenges. They work collaboratively with the patient's healthcare team to ensure holistic and personalized care that addresses the patient's overall well-being.

Easing the Transition

The best time to look into home health services is upon first admission to the hospital or prior to admission in the case of a scheduled surgery. Physicians will work closely with the home health care provider to customize an interdisciplinary care plan and make arrangements for the necessary services and equipment before they leave the hospital.
