Our caregivers provide in-home care and assistance under the supervision of Registered Nurses. All Homewatch Home Care caregivers are certified Home Health Aide's (HHA's). HHA's have the same qualifications as a Nursing Assistant.
Our Registered Nurses also provide case management, which ensures that an individual's entire needs are being addressed from personal care to transportation to home management. The Nurse's role is to promote the best possible physical, social, and emotional well-being for the client and to give families peace of mind by knowing that their loved one's needs are being cared for, holistically. We do everything we can to make it as simple as possible for seniors to continue living their life at home. Our RN Case Management Services are generally included at no additional charge.
