St. Luke's Home Health & Hospice

Programs of the Visiting Nurse Association of St. Luke’s: St. Luke’s Home Health - Over 90 years of experience providing care in the community St. Luke’s Home Health cares for and teaches patients and family members the steps needed to help recover from surgery or to manage an illness. Our patients benefit by receiving care in the comfort of their own homes and being involved in their own care. Care that requires the skills of a registered nurse or therapist is offered through a team approach that may include nursing; physical, occupational and speech therapy; medical social services; and home health aides. Skilled care may include care after a hospital stay for management of acute illness, wound management or additional care for chronic illness. Our dedicated staff encourages and teaches patients to become independent and in control of their health and their lives. St. Luke’s Hospice - Strength when you need it most Hospice provides patients and their families with compassionate end-of-life care. The focus is on care, not cure, and on quality and value of life, not the length. In most cases, care is provided in the patient’s own home, but care can be provided in a variety of settings, depending on your needs. Hospice uses palliative care - controlling pain and lessening the symptoms of the disease – so that patients can live as comfortably as possible. St. Luke's Hospice also offers a variety of bereavement programs as a community resource to anyone dealing with grief issues.
