Mid-Atlantic Home Health Network Inc., a home health company, provides nurse staffing services and home health and medical products to the Mid-Atlantic region.
The company delivers care to persons in various settings, including private homes, hospitals and nursing homes. Since its acquisition of Hunt Country Nursing Services Inc and National Nurses Service Inc, the majority of its business has involved providing nursing staff for clinics, long-term care facilities, hospitals and clinics, correctional facilities and schools. Services are provided to persons of all ages and with all levels of health or health related needs, varying from high technology interventions to companionship and services.
The company provides medical equipment and supplies and around-the-clock skilled nursing. It provides its services through four entities. These entities are wholly owned subsidiaries.
Hunt Country Home Health, Inc
The company's subsidiary, Hunt Country Home Health, Inc, performs approximately 275 home health visits per month. Generally, the services provided fall into the program priorities that include:
Essential physical care, which may require frequent visits, including weekends, in the absence of which the patient might otherwise require hospitalization or nursing home care.
Patients in need of intravenous therapy, hyperalimentation, blood transfusions or other intensive skilled nursing modalities.
Patients with open wounds, which require dressing changes or irrigations, in addition to frequent skilled assessment for significant infections.
Patients in need of rehabilitation services which can be provided in the home and which can maximize the level of functioning.
In-home patients whose condition has deteriorated and who would otherwise require hospitalization.
Homebound patients in need of blood testing. The home care nurse draws the blood, evaluates the patient and carries out related teaching, which allows the physician to monitor the patient's condition while he remains in the home.
The company's home health program provides skilled nursing, physical therapy, occupational therapy, clinical social work, speech pathology, and home health aide services. These services form the basic framework of the traditional home health services and disciplines, which include skilled nursing for the assessment, teaching and provision of care, physical therapy for ambulation and muscle strengthening, occupation therapy for assisting persons to restore functions to perform Activities of Daily Living (ADL), home health aid for personal care and assistance in ADL's, speech therapy for restoration of communication, and social services for assessment of, and assistance with, emotional social problems interfering with the plan of care. These services are provided to any appropriate referral. Visit duration is two hours or less, two to three times per week.
Most visits are made to patients experiencing heart disease, cancer, diabetes, AIDS, fractures and strokes or who have wounds that are in need of care.
