Fayette County Health Department
Home Health Care

The Fayette County Health Department Home Health Care (Visiting Nurses) is for any homebound resident of Fayette County whose condition warrants skilled health care but does not require 24 hour coverage in a hospital or nursing home. Medicare, Medicaid, or Insurance often covers the cost of services. For patients not covered by these insurance programs their bill, if they wish, can be adjusted to the clients ability to pay. Services are available to Fayette County residents regardless of ability to pay.

Services include:

	Visiting Nurses provide skilled nursing care under a plan developed by patient, doctor and Fayette County Health Department nurse.
	Wound and Ostomy Specialist provides consultation and treatment protocols.
	Certified Home Health Aides provide assistance with personal care, exercise and medications.
	Physical Therapy, Occupational and Speech Therapists provide rehabilitation for patients following an individualized plan.
	Licensed Clinical Social Worker provides support, counseling, and referrals for appropriate service to patients and families involved in Fayette County Health Department Home Health Care and Maternal and Child Care Programs.
