Home Health Care…
There is no place like home…in times of health and
prosperity, and perhaps even more so in times of illness and medical recovery. The North Penn Visiting Nurse Association provides high quality health care in your home.
Our
professional staff of registered nurses works closely
with your physician to develop a care plan to treat you if you were recently discharged from the hospital, are bedridden, temporarily disabled, or suffering from multiple medical problems. We pride ourselves in treating you with dignity and doing our best to enhance your quality life and assist in your recovery. North Penn VNA nurses have

As
payment for services, North Penn VNA accepts most
major insurances including Medicare, Blue Cross and HMO plans. A sliding scale is available for those without insurance coverage.
Registered nurses can provide many services to you in your home
including IV therapy, injections, wound care, skilled assessments
and observations,
and
diet and medication instruction.
Ordered by a physician, or assessed by the nurse during admission,
you may need the services of a therapist.
The type of therapy depends upon your needs
and the type of injury or illness. If therapy is required, a licensed physical, speech or
occupational therapist will provide therapy in your
home.
Because of your type of illness or your recovery time, you
may need help with basic day-to-day activities. Under the supervision of nurses, our specially trained home health aides can give you a bath, shop, do laundry or prepare light meals for you.
Special emotional, social and environmental needs often accompany
severe illness or injury. You
may have questions regarding insurance issues or other
available services and resources.
Our social worker
can help with these type of issues.
The social worker’s services can
be requested by you, your caregiver or your nurse.
