SGCMH Home Health
Plan of Care
We come to your home on your doctor’s orders, listen to what you have to say, assess your unique needs and plan of care with your physician to restore your quality of life. In many ways, we are your physician’s eyes and ears.
As integral as our team is to your recovery, though, the most important member of the team just might be you. Your commitment, your cooperation, your courage is going to make the difference. SGCMH Home Health can help you get there.
After a comprehensive assessment your level of care is developed. Home Health services are provided on a skilled intermittent basis. At each visit your team members will closely follow your care plan and note your progress to report to your provider.
Additional team members are available to provide physical, occupational and speech therapy. The Home Health team also includes a medical social worker to assist patients with any counseling needs.

Lifeline
Lifeline is a communication unit that allows the user to call for help at the push of the personal button. It was launched in 1985 to help the many residents in our community who want the peace-of-mind that they have the ability to signal for emergency assistance from their home. Lifeline units permit the user to contact the response station by merely pressing the Personal Help Button.
There is a one-time installation fee for the LifeLine unit. Lifeline gives you the choice of (2) two payment plans: Plan 1: a month-to-month fee; Plan 2: a yearly rental fee.
