Madison County Hospital’s Home Health and Hospice program
is committed to meeting the needs of homebound and hospice patients
who live in Madison and surrounding counties.
Home Health Care
Coming home from the hospital can be a blessing. It can also
be a burden on a family if your loved one still requires some
extra help.
Our Home Health program can help by bringing specialized nursing
care and other therapeutic services right to your door. Any
qualifying patient who requires skilled intermittent nursing
or physical therapy services is eligible for Home Health care,
if their physician orders such care. These services include
speech therapy, occupational therapy, physical therapy, nursing
assistance, home health aid services, and social services.
The dedicated professionals in our Home Health program work
in conjunction with your loved one's physician. They strive
to restore patients to optimal health and function through home
health aide services, intermittent skilled nursing visits, and
occupational, physical and speech therapies.
Welcome Home
Welcome Home is an outreach program
for new moms of Madison County. Regardless of where you deliver,
Welcome Home offers a skilled nursing visit in your home. The
nurse provides a newborn assessment, information and answers
any questions or addresses concerns the parent or parents may
have. The nurse also instructs in newborn care, immunization
schedule and infant nutrition including breastfeeding.
Hospice Care
When a life-limiting illness no longer responds to cure-oriented
treatments, Hospice improves the quality of your loved one's
last days by offering dignity and comfort care measures.
Hospice is a special kind of caring to help your loved one live
life to the fullest, neither hastening nor prolonging life.
The dedicated professionals and volunteers who work closely
with our physicians ensure that the physical, emotional and
spiritual needs of your loved one are met. They offer patients
pain and symptom management, professional nursing visits, medical
social service and spiritual assistance from our hospice chaplain.
They also provide bereavement support for families.
Madison County Hospital Home Health and Hospice is certified
by Medicare and Medicaid. Patients are accepted regardless of
their ability to pay. The generosity of friends and families
who provide support through donations and memorial gifts, allow
us to offer services to all those in need.
