For patients who can be appropriately maintained in the home setting, we believe the home care environment is the preferable place to achieve the health care goals for patients established by the physician and home care staff.

Providing care in the patient’s familiar surroundings allows them maximum opportunity to participate in care that is unique to their needs. Health care in this setting can be cost effective, and it can be safely and effectively provided when appropriately delivered. This is where Mid-Atlantic Home Health thrives.

With the emphasis on shorter hospital stays, the home is a viable, creative way to provide health care.

Our Objectives:

• Provide professional and support services to eligible persons in their home or place of residence.
• Provide educational information to patients and family members concerning their medical needs.
• Provide a level of care to prevent premature nursing home placement.
• Promote patient well-being and contentment as well as family involvement.
• Provide referral to appropriate federal, state, and local programs to benefit the patient when necessary.

It is important to remember that health care is a continuum, and when the home is no longer the best way to meet the health care goals of an individual, we can also help with referrals along that continuum to provide the most appropriate level of care.
