Jack Renbrook says the "modern-day" house calls he received last year through Valley Home Health played a vital role in his recovery from heart bypass surgery.

"Home Health was a lifeline for my wife and me," says Renbrook.

Extending Care To The Home
Many people who are disabled, chronically ill or recovering from a hospital visit need ongoing medical care. But they often don't want to stay in a hospital or move to a nursing home to obtain that care.

"We provide the skilled services patients need in the comfort of their own home," says Larry Searles, RN, Director of Valley Home Health.

Depending on patients' needs, home health professionals may provide:

• Skilled nursing care
• Physical, speech and occupational therapy
• Help with daily activities
• Help accessing community resources

"The staff is very helpful and encouraging," says Renbrook. "They got me back on my feet and eased me into my normal routine."
