Home Health Services for Kendall Families
Looking after a parent or spouse at home is a lot for one family to carry. Many family caregivers in Kendall juggle work, doctor visits, medications and keeping the house running, and at some point they need trained help. That's the right time to bring in a home health agency in Kendall you can trust.
We care for families throughout Kendall, Kendall West and West Kendall, all part of the Miami-Dade community we've served since 2007. Our nurses, therapists and social workers are licensed professionals employed by Providence, and they follow the plan of care your physician sets.
Skilled Nursing
Our registered nurses and licensed practical nurses come to your home to take care of the medical side of recovery. Visits can include wound care, checking in after surgery, IV therapy, help with medications and teaching you about chronic conditions like diabetes, COPD and heart failure. Each visit follows your doctor's plan, and our in-home skilled nursing care also includes showing family members what to watch for between visits.
Physical, Occupational and Speech Therapy
Our therapists help your loved one get stronger and feel steadier at home. Physical therapy works on balance and walking, and occupational therapy makes everyday tasks like bathing, dressing and fixing a meal easier again. Speech therapy is part of our in-home therapy services too, all done right there in your own living room.
Medical Social Work
A serious illness brings questions that go beyond medicine. Our medical social workers offer counseling and help connect families to financial and community resources, so you have someone in your corner while you sort out the bigger picture.
Home Health Aides and Non-Medical Support
Home health aides help with the personal care that keeps a day on track, like bathing, grooming and moving around the house safely. They also offer companionship, light housekeeping and meal preparation. Many families pair an aide with nursing or therapy visits, and our home health care for seniors brings both kinds of help into one plan.
Pediatric Home Health Care
Children with medical needs can get skilled care at home, too. Our licensed pediatric nurses, therapists and medical social workers care for children with conditions such as autism, cerebral palsy and seizure disorders, and you can read more about our home health care for children.
Hospital to Home Care in Kendall
Coming home after a hospital stay, surgery or rehab is a big step. There are new instructions, new medications and a body that's still healing. Many Kendall residents come home from Baptist Hospital of Miami on North Kendall Drive, West Kendall Baptist Hospital on SW 162nd Avenue or HCA Florida Kendall Hospital on Bird Road.
Our clinical team works closely with case managers and discharge planners so the move home goes smoothly. We then work with your loved one's physicians or medical group on a plan of care built around what they need. Care is typically arranged within 24 to 48 hours of a physician's order, so help is there during those first important days back home.
Home health care after hospital discharge often follows a joint replacement, a cardiac event, a stroke or a flare-up of COPD or diabetes. Our hospital to home care is set up for exactly these moments, from the first visit until your loved one feels steady again.
24-Hour and Long-Term Care at Home
Some Kendall families need more help than a few visits a week can give. Our 24-hour home care in Kendall keeps home health aides or skilled nursing available at all times, with caregivers working rotating shifts so the person at your loved one's side is rested and alert. Care plans change as needs change, so the support can grow or ease as the months go by.
Families managing dementia often want home health aide support combined with nursing oversight. A loved one with Alzheimer's might need companionship during the day and nursing support at night, especially when wandering after dark is a worry. Our team includes Certified Dementia Practitioners, and Providence is an affiliated provider with the Alzheimer's Association.
