Home Care Plus

Visiting Nurse and Community Health’s private-pay subsidiary, Home Care Plus, provides the continuity of care and professional services for patients needing assistance beyond what health insurance programs generally cover. Health care providers are available 24 hours a day, seven days a week.

Our services are designed specifically so that our patients receive the highest quality care, while maintaining an independent, dignified life in the home. From Registered Nurses, to companions and home health aides, we give the compassionate home health care our patients deserve.  In keeping with this philosophy, VNCH offers HomMed, a state-of-the-art telemedicine device that is placed in the home and accurately registers blood pressure and oxygen saturation levels, pulse, weight and temperature every day.  Results are transmitted to a central station at VNCH, and one of our registered nurses interprets the readings, logs them, and calls the patient’s physician, if necessary.  This provides great peace of mind for both the patient and his/her family.

VNCH provides services to patients requiring additional support and social services (e.g., beyond what Medicare or private insurance provides) in order to function safely in their home environment.
