In-Home Skilled Services

ComForCare Home Care specializes in private-duty nursing services, which allows us to support complex medical needs. We tailor our care to meet the client's requirements, assisting them in managing their own disease process when appropriate.

Transitions of Care Program

The transition from a hospital or rehabilitation center back to the home can be difficult for clients to manage successfully. Our licensed nurses can help improve patient outcomes and reduce re-hospitalizations by promoting adherence to discharge instructions in the home setting by: Reviewing discharge instructions with the client

• Reviewing discharge instructions with the client
• Educating the client in self-care using "teach back" techniques
• Ensuring prescriptions are filled and the medication box is set up correctly
• Confirming appropriate durable medical equipment (DME) is delivered
• Conducting home safety and fall risk inspections
• Coordinating follow-up care with other providers
