Home Care and Hospice: Fostering a Healing Environment
When you or someone you love needs care, Excela Health is there to help with skilled nursing, social services, home health aides, hospice services and more.
At Excela Health Home Care, our
goal is to foster independence
and healthier living for our
patients while giving peace of mind to
loved ones. We assist patients who are
confined to home through illness, injury
or convalescence, turning the home
into a healing environment. Through
Excela Health Hospice, we ensure that
terminally ill individuals can remain at
home, with emphasis on pain control
and symptom management.
Your doctor can refer you, or you may obtain a referral from a nurse, social worker, social service agency or an insurance agency.
