Home Infusion
Talk with your health care provider about home infusion therapy options.
Home Care recognizes that infusion therapy is vital in the treatment of a wide variety of diseases. Our highly skilled and experienced nursing staff provides infusion therapy to adult and pediatric patients in the comfort of their homes.
What does home infusion therapy include?
Infusion therapy includes all activities associated with the administration of fluids and injectible medications at home such as:
- antibiotic therapy.
- fluid replacement.
- total parental nutrition (TPN).
- pain medications.
- tube feedings.
- home infusion education/support.
Talk with your health care provider about the options of home infusion therapy.
Home Infusion Education/Support
Our adult and pediatric infusion program provides education to the patient and caregiver on how to easily perform home infusions. We teach and guide patients about their medicine, equipment and supplies. Our nurses will perform visits until the patient and caregiver feel confident in performing the infusion alone. Nurses will then continue visits to assess IV sites and order supplies while monitoring and assessing overall health. An on-call nurse is available 24 hours day, 7 days per week for any home infusion questions.
Referrals/Insurance
We accept self-referrals or a referral may be made by a health care provider, family member or friend. Once the referral is made, our staff will contact the patient’s health care provider to discuss the services needed. Most private insurances cover the cost of home infusion therapy. Medicare does not cover home infusion therapy, but our staff will share what options might work best for each individual case. The initial visit is free.
