The VNS Advantage
Doctors are prescribing home health care for more and more people of all ages every
day. There are many reasons for its growing popularity...
- With home health care,
patients can be discharged from hospitals sooner or may not have to be admitted
at all.
- Patients can remain more independent and oftentimes recover faster in the
comfort of their own homes with the support of family and friends.
- In addition,
home health care usually costs significantly less than care provided in institutions.
All our programs share these common goals.
For over 60 years, Visiting Nurse Service
and Affiliates has made it possible for individuals of all ages to receive quality
health care in their own homes in familiar surroundings. With VNS, you are cared
for by highly qualified professionals with a genuine concern for your comfort and
well being. Our goals are:
- To increase the patient's quality of life
- To work closely
with physicians and patients to deliver the best health care possible in the most
appropriate setting
- To thoroughly educate patients and families on treatment goals
and procedures and, when appropriate, to encourage them to participate in their
own care to gain independence
- To appropriately and responsibly contain health care
costs
