Registered Nurses will:

    • Provide patient assessments
    • Coordinate the care plan, teaching and training
    • Administer medications, skilled procedures and treatments
    • Administer psychiatric evaluations and treatment


In July 1999, Neighborly Care Network became a fully Licensed and Medicare-certified Home Health Agency. This certification allows Neighborly to provide skilled nursing and medical therapeutics for enhancing independence and providing medically oriented Home Health Aide services from the agency managing the client care.

Medicare Home Health - Skilled Services Minimize

Physical Therapists teach and train special doctor-prescribed exercises to patients and their families. These exercises strengthen muscles weakened by illness or injury, and help the patient to resume normal living activities.


Occupational Therapists improve the patient's ability to perform daily living tasks, such as dressing, grooming and eating. They also design, fabricate and fit orthotic and self-help devices.

Speech Therapists provide instruction to patients with speech, language and swallowing problems. Instruction includes:

  • Speech and voice production
  • Communication techniques
  • Swallowing therapy
  • Teaching communication, treatment and maintenance programs

Medical Social Workers assist patients and their families with emotional, financial and social problems that can be associated with a serious illness or disability. They also help develop future plans for the patient and family.


Home Health Aides have duties defined by Medicare and must first address those directly involved in rendering personal care to a patient, including some sort of hands-on care. A professional home health nurse plans, assigns and supervises these duties. Other assistance, such as dressing, feeding and maintaining a clean, safe bedside area, may be given after personal care is done.
