Healing In The HomeThere is no place like home, especially when you are sick or injured.

Working together with Parrish Medical Center, named America’s #1 Healing

Hospital three years in a row, Parrish Home Health (PHH) will ensure a

smooth transition from the hospital to your home. PHH’s goal is to continue your healing

experience while you recover in your home.

Who Benefits From Home Health Care?Home Health Care services are delivered to recovering, disabled, chronically or terminally ill persons

who need medical, nursing, social or therapeutic skilled treatments in their own homes. Older

adults often elect to live independent, non-institutionalized lives and receive home care services as

they experience physical limitations. Additionally, adults diagnosed with terminal illness often

choose to be cared for at home, receiving compassion while maintaining dignity at the end of life.

in your recovery at home. The team members include:

registered nurses

licensed practical nurses

physical therapists

speech therapists
