The goal of RMC Home Health Care is to work with the patient’s health care providers to make sure that patients receive a coordinated approach to treatment in their home. Each patient has a treatment team that includes the patient’s physician, as well as a medical social worker who coordinates community social services specifically for that patient. In addition, the patient’s nurse gets to know the patient and his or her condition so well that any changes or special situations that may arise are taken care of promptly. Such a continuity of care only ensures a much greater chance for enhanced patient outcomes and recovery.
