Verdugo Home Care can provide a number of health care amenities and services, beyond basic medical care, directly to your home. These services include helping patients and families to understand and implement new dietary regimens, any equipment necessary for the patient’s comfort, as well as helping patients arrange the use of any radiological or laboratory services needed for the patients healing process.

Sometimes a condition requires more medical expertise than patients are able to give themselves, but less comprehensive (and expensive) care than a hospital provides. Verdugo Home Health provides those services in the comfort of the patients home. Verdugo Home Health provides patients with the full spectrum of specialized medical care on their routine visits.

Routine visits will focus on implementing and maintaining the patients plan of care for continuing health and comfort, including wound care, skin care, intravenous therapy and other medical necessities.

When necessary, therapists can be there to evaluate, diagnose, and treat injuries negatively affecting patient’s mobility or movement. Physical therapists generally focus on treating and alleviating the physical cause of the patient’s problem.

The ability for patients to return to their healthy daily lives after confronting a debilitating illness is of the highest priority to Verdugo Home Health.

When needed, speech therapy can be utilized to aid in the patient’s comfort by improving and/or recovering communication,cognitive, and swallowing abilities. Aiding the ease in patient’s ability to communicate and intake nourishment helps improve both the quality care of and general comfort of the patient.
