As Home Care has grown in recent years conditions considered untreatable anywhere but in a facility have become common place in the home. Family Care has grown with this evolution of home care and has been focused on developing programs and specialty areas to help individuals in the home. One of the programs Family Care has been a leader in is our psychiatric home care service. The mission of Family Care is to provide individuals in the home with assistance and foster independence for those living in the general population. Psychiatric Nurses - Home care services begin with Registered Nurses.
All psychiatric nurses come from psychiatric clinical specialties and facilities.
Prior experience and licensure in psychiatric schooling is mandatory. Our nurses help individuals in the home using their fields of expertise ranging from dual diagnosis, chronic mental illness and substance abuse ranging from children to the elderly. Our home health aides are oriented and educated in psychiatric care prior to helping any client with a psychiatric diagnosis. All home health aides are continually trained in psychiatric care assuring they are prepared. Through our education program the home health aides are instructed to watch for any changes in condition of the client and report to the primary care nurse as well as provide any needed hands on care.
