Northern Home Care provides nursing care, home health aides, personal care aides and homemakers, as well as health education and skills training. Agency services are provided on an hourly, daily or live-in basis and Northern Home Care staff is available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Presentations are available to educate caregivers and potential caregivers about the home care industry. Northern’s goal is to empower individuals to make informed decisions about the care of their loved ones and to minimize crisis.

Prior to the onset of service, a professional nurse assesses each client to determine the level of care required, and to evaluate any risk factors. A client can be assessed at no charge or obligation in his/her home or in an institution. Simultaneously, all payer sources are contacted to discuss the recommended care plan and to ensure for the most cost effective use of coverage.

After the initial assessment, a care plan is developed in conjunction with the Physician, the patient, family/caregivers, case managers, and the payer source. Patient care is monitored daily either through direct supervision, phone contact, or review of records and reports. Information is communicated to physicians, case managers, family members, and Northern staff to ensure for proper levels of care and quality assurance.

Northern recognizes that each person who receives our home care services, is part of a larger network of formal and informal services. We focus not only on the person who is receiving direct services, but on the Caregivers who have needs for information and education about the aging process, skills training regarding care of their loved ones with specific illnesses and disabilities, and the need for peer support and mutual aid from others who are in similar situations.

 

Northern Home Care accepts Managed Care, Commercial/private insurance, and self-pay.
