Northrium Health provides evidence-based disease management covering the most frequently seen conditions including congestive heart failure, pneumonia, diabetes, orthopedic rehab, stroke and more. These protocols help reduce the variability of care and allow us to provide every patient with safe, effective care.
Our multi-disciplinary, professional teams provide patients with the support they need after they leave the hospital. Our home health care encompasses services such as physical therapy, occupational therapy, speech therapy and skilled nursing at the patient’s home. Specially trained nurses may be deployed for wound care or pain management. Other caregivers, medical social workers, and home health aides may also provide services.
Central to home health care is educating patients and families about symptom awareness, medications, and nutrition. This includes providing instruction on strength training and exercises. Home health visits include an evaluation of the need for supportive devices and equipment and assessing the risk of falls. Home health can assist with the activities of daily living as well as help plan for short- and long-term care.
We work directly with the patient’s physicians to implement personalized plans of care that realize shorter recoveries and fewer hospital readmissions including chronic care management.
