We provide high-quality medical care and emotional support while encouraging independent living. A registered nurse is on-call 24 hours a day. Self-referrals for home care services are accepted, or a referral may be made by a physician, family member or friend. Once the referral is made, our staff will contact the patient s physician to discuss the services needed. A nurse or therapist will provide an initial assessment with the patient.
Most insurers cover skilled home care services.
Through our extended care program, we provide services for patients who are medically stable, but still need some assistance at home. These services are usually paid for by the client, though extended care services may be covered by Medicare or Long-Term Care Insurance. A team of skilled professionals works together with the patient s physician to provide a total continuum of care. St. Cloud Hospital s Home Care program is licensed by the state of Minnesota, certified by Medicare and accredited by the Joint Commission on Accreditation of Health Care Organizations. These regulatory agencies provide assurance that you will receive the highest quality care available.
