Home Health Aides and Social Work from licensed nurses
Skilled nursing works best when the basics at home are covered too. Bathing, getting dressed and safe transfers matter, and so does help with the paperwork and planning that come with illness.
When ordered as part of the plan of care, home health aides provide personal care visits and medical social workers help families with community resources, long-term planning and caregiver stress.
Our nurses provide home health aides and social work in homes across the San Fernando Valley, Thousand Oaks, Santa Clarita and Valencia, and the Westside from Brentwood to Bel Air.
