HOME HEALTH
We offer assistance for you or your loved ones during recovery from an illness, surgery, injury or long-term medical problem in the privacy, comfort and security of home.
Through its Home Health Agency, Golden Valley Memorial Hospital offers a wide variety of skilled professionals to provide you with the comprehensive high tech medical care you need at home when institutional care such as hospitalization isn’t necessary.
After referral, a nurse or therapist will develop a plan of care with the consultation of you and your physician with the goal of stabilizing your condition and making you knowledgeable and independent in your own care (either alone or with the assistance of a significant other person).
For those who qualify, Medicare, Medicaid or Insurance Benefits will pay totally or in part for Home Health services. Each payer source has its own qualifications but they generally include:
- Physician orders
- Require the skilled care of a nurse or therapist
- Be homebound due to a medical condition

CUSTOM CARE
Custom Care is designed to offer services to those individuals who do not qualify for our other programs or who no longer qualify for those programs. It is an opportunity to still receive some of the same services from the same qualified and caring staff. We offer flexible scheduling and personalized care. A nurse will visit with you to prepare a plan that meets your needs and to complete a contract.
For those who qualify, private insurance policies pay for this type of care or you may arrange to pay privately. This is an excellent program to assist family members in caring for their loved ones even when they do not live close by. Makes a great gift as well.
