Home health
care encompasses a broad spectrum of health and social services that
can be delivered to recovering, disabled, or chronically ill persons
in the home environment. These services include the traditional core
of professional nursing and home health aide services, as well as
hospice care, physical therapy, speech therapy, occupational
therapy, Meals on Wheels, Lifeline, companion homemaker, medical
social services and nutritional services. All of these services are
provided locally through the Visiting Nurse Association of Porter
County.
The mission of the Visiting Nurse Association is to provide
compassionate home and hospice care in an innovative and
personalized manner to those in need, within the resources
available, enabling them to preserve their dignity and maintain
their highest level of independence.
