Skilled Nursing Care Along with Home Health Aides
Many families find that using personal and companionship care provided by VNA Home Health Aides (HHAs)along with skilled nursing care is often the best choice. Once a patient returns home from having surgery, an LPN or RN can address their medical and rehabilitative needs while an HHA can help with bathing, meal preparation, light housekeeping, medication reminders and more.
