Great Plains Home Health & Hospice is dedicated to providing the highest-quality home health services to you.
We provide
Our nurses will provide a thorough assessment of the patient's health needs, including medical, surgical and mental health. The home health nurse is the go-between for the patient and physician.
Home health aides give personal care, such as bathing, hair and nail care. They work under the supervision of a skilled registered nurse.
Physical therapists assist the patient in exercises to help increase and maintain range of motion in the joints and to increase muscle strength and endurance. Their goal is to restore the patient to the highest possible level of function.
Occupational therapists put together treatment programs to restore or increase patients' ability to perform daily activities following an injury, disability or illness.
Speech language pathologists work with patients who have communication problems, such as those who are recovering from a stroke, have a voice disorder or have had their larynx removed.
Medical social workers are trained to help identify the social and emotional needs of patients and their families. They aid in finding community resources, identifying financial concerns and coordinating other services the patient may need. They may also offer information on advance directives.
