A Brief History |
|
HomeCare
& Hospice has been providing in-home care to area residents
since 1971. As the needs of the community increased, HomeCare
& Hospice provided programs to meet those needs, including
services for the frail elderly, developmentally disabled,
patients recovering from surgery or illness, as well as those
living with long-term disability or illness.
A
Medicare-certified Hospice program was created in 1991 to meet
the specific needs of patients and their families living with
advanced illness.
HomeCare & Hospice, a non-profit agency is
governed by a board of directors which is representative of the
service area. |
