It sounds like your loved one might benefit from home care.

If your loved one will be recovering from surgery or has recently had a stroke or serious illness, VNS Health offers care that includes post-surgery care and nursing that can help your loved one recover when they come home from the hospital. A VNS Health care team includes a nurse who can monitor your loved one’s condition and help with medications, rehab therapists for speech and movement, and home health aides to assist with bathing, dressing, and meals.

Every person’s situation is different — and we want to make sure your loved one gets the best possible care.

It sounds like your loved one might benefit from home health aide services.

As our loved ones age, it’s important that they get compassionate care and support. Getting older can be tough, but it can be easier with the help of VNS Health. A VNS Health aide can help your loved one with their daily to-do’s — from shopping to getting dressed to reminding them to take their medications.

Every person’s situation is different — and we want to make sure your loved one gets the best possible care. For more information about home health aide services, visit our page about home health aides or call 1-800-675-0391 to speak with someone from VNS Health.

It sounds like your loved one might benefit from hospice care.

If your loved one has a progressive or terminal illness, it is important to get them the right level of care to help them live comfortably as their condition advances. It can feel scary to think about hospice, but high-quality care can support them — and put your mind at ease.
