VNA Support Services Programs to Assist in Maintaining an Independent Lifestyle

We understand that there’s no place like home. And we’re committed to providing whatever services you or your family member need or want—in the comfort of your home.

Perhaps you have returned home from a recent hospital stay. You may need temporary help—someone to assist with bathing, dressing, or just getting around while you regain your strength and continue your recovery.

Perhaps you need assistance with shopping, with meal preparation, or would prefer a meal delivered to your home.

If you are responsible for the care of another—a disabled spouse, elderly parent, or handicapped child—you might find it a welcome relief to have assistance on an occasional or regular basis.

VNA Support Services provides the level of care tailored to meet the needs of you and your family and can be used to supplement the home health care services you receive through the Visiting Nurse Association.

We look forward to serving you.

l Enable clients to maintain an independent lifestyle in the comfort and privacy of home.
