UMC Home Health Care Services and Programs

Qualified nurse: Nurses are your doctor’s eyes and ears in your home. They educate you and your caregiver about your condition and symptoms, help with pain and medication management, provide wound care, and monitor and support behavioral health conditions like anxiety and depression.

Physical therapy: Physiotherapists improve your quality of life and reduce your risk of falling. The goals of physiotherapy include pain relief; restore flexibility, improve strength, balance, coordination and movement and prevent disability.

Occupational therapy: Occupational therapists and occupational therapy assistants (OTAs) help people do what they need and want to do so that they can recover or live independently for as long as possible. They teach you how to use special equipment, suggest ways to make your home safer, and provide tips and tools to help with activities of daily living.

Speech therapy: Speech therapy at home can help patients improve essential skills such as swallowing, information processing and communication. Often, home speech therapy patients face medical issues such as stroke, dementia, cancer, or brain damage.

Home help : Home health aides provide personal care needs such as getting out of bed, moving around, bathing and dressing.

Medical social work: Medical social workers act as advocates for your needs and help coordinate your care with the rest of your healthcare team. They can also provide advice and referrals to local resources in your community.

Wound care: Health care nurses monitor and care for a variety of wounds to help reduce complications, promote healing, and keep you safe at home. Specialty Programs: We offer specialized empowerment programs to help patients learn how to manage chronic conditions such as heart failure, COPD, diabetes and falls to control symptoms and improve quality of life.
