Home Is Where the Health Care Is

VNA Nazareth Home Care Treats Patients at Home

People who are ill or recuperating tend to feel most comfortable in their homes. Home care offers more privacy and is more convenient for patients and their loved ones.

For more than 110 years, VNA Nazareth Home Care has been coming to the homes of patients in Kentucky and southern Indiana. VNA is a leader in producing positive outcomes for patients, improving their quality of life and reducing their medical bills with fewer hospital admissions.

Complex Treatment at Home

As health care continues to move away from institutions and back to the home, the use of home care services is increasing and the therapies being provided at home are more complex. VNA pioneered the in-home use of advanced equipment and techniques that allow more people — from high-risk infants to the chronically ill elderly — to be cared for at home. VNA cares for patients with complex conditions, including:

• Cancer patients on chemotherapy;
• people recovering from open-heart surgery;
• families dealing with Alzheimer’s disease; and
• a child on a ventilator.

Specialty care programs include Mental Health, Healthy Heart, Better Breathing, Falls Prevention, Diabetes Care and Rehabilitation.

Skilled Staff

Our staff are available 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Caregivers are bonded, insured and supervised by specialists in home health care. In addition, VNA has a licensed physician on staff and a medical and professional advisory group to ensure excellence.

To provide a full range of services to patients with specific needs, VNA employs registered nurses; physical, occupational and speech therapists; home health aides; social workers; dietitians; and pediatric nurses. Specialized nurses also provide comprehensive wound care in the home.
