The familiar environment of your own home is
often the best place to receive care. Avera Gregory Healthcare
Center's Home Care Agency offers a wide variety of medical
services and equipment for the home.
With the support of our team, patients of all ages can receive
quality care at home, rather than at the hospital or long-term
care facility. We work with you, your physician, family and
friends to design the right care plan and deliver it in the
comfort of your own home.
As part of AGHC's Total Care philosophy, patients of Home and
Community Care can be assured of a seamless movement throughout
our healthcare system. From outpatient services, to inpatient
stays, and back to home. This approach enhances the patient's
ability to communicate with his or her caregivers within the
context of a complete care plan.
AGHC's Home and Community Care offers the following services:
Care giving teams are
available 24 hours a day, seven days a week, and a registered
nurse is just a phone call away. Services are provided on a
per-visit or hourly basis, at a fraction of the cost of a
hospital or nursing home stay. Most insurance companies,
Medicare, Medicaid and veterans benefits will pay for home care
services, or they can be paid for privately. Since all policies
are different and many are complicated to understand, department
personnel recommend calling for an appointment during which they
will verify coverage, free of charge.
Those wishing more information should call 605-835-8394 and ask
for our Home Health Department. Those wishing to use GHC's
services should ask their physicians for a referral to Avera Gregory
Healthcare Center's Home and Community Care Agency. |
