In-Home & Independence Services

Home Health

We’re helping people recover at home and helping others with health problems, chronic conditions or disabilities maintain their independence—by bringing care to their doorstep.

Home Health is a cost-effective, quality-driven alternative to hospitalization or a nursing facility. Our healthcare professionals provide the necessary care and medical oversight to maintain or restore health in the comfort of your own home. 

St. Bernards Home Health provides skilled and non-skilled services in patient homes. Services include skilled nursing, personal care, physical, occupational and speech therapy, and social services. 

These services are offered 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, within a 50-mile radius of St. Bernards. This can be on an hourly basis for greater needs or through regular scheduled visits.
