Home Health Care
When to Consider Home Health Care
Stay in the comfort of your home while receiving a wide range of services. Home health care can help you:
- Recover after a procedure, injury, or illness
- Manage a health condition or disability
- Shorten or prevent a hospital stay
- Avoid or delay moving to a nursing home or assisted living facility
If you transition from a health care facility to your home, you’ll benefit from coordinated professional care without interruption. You can trust our team to help you communicate and manage services with your primary care team—whether or not they work at Essentia.
