Company Profile
Ohio State Home Care
Company Overview
Do you care like family? Our mission is to inspire hope and improve the quality of life for those patients entrusted to our care.
Post-acute care is at the center of improving health outcomes. We care for patients where they spend the majority of their time – in their homes. This privileged position allows us to see things that are invisible to a patient’s primary care or hospital physician, and to deliver the best possible care tailored to each patient’s setting.
As the healthcare industry continues to evolve away from hospital-centric care, our work, caring for patients in their homes becomes more important than ever.
Our success helping patients recover comes from engaging with them. We start at the facility bedside and coordinate each patient’s transition back to their home, ensuring a smooth transition and that their care plan is right for them.
We support complex, high-acuity, medically-at-risk aging patients. This is the most challenging group of individuals to serve, and we find it the most rewarding.
And we do this all in partnership with health systems. Together we create a seamless care environment that enables patients to receive excellent care in the setting that best meets their needs.
The Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center Home Care supports home care patients in (7) seven counties within Columbus including Franklin county and (6) six contiguous counties. The Ohio State University Wexner Medical Centers are located throughout Columbus, Ohio, with (7) seven hospitals and multiple outpatient centers.
Company History
What we do:
On the surface we deliver skilled home health services to patients in their homes or preferred environment. We hire and train clinicians. We bill insurance. But what we do is so much more.
We provide hope.
Each month hundreds of patients send us feedback. And rarely do those words of thanks talk about the clinician’s technical skill. Our patients thank us for believing in them, giving them hope, and helping them achieve their dreams.
Patient Centered Care-
What we provide to all patients:
Case management approach for each patient, utilizing collaborative interdisciplinary teams, and care coordination follow-up.
Clinical / diagnostic initial and ongoing assessments including physiological, psychosocial, behavioral, functional & environmental.
World class clinical practices to maintain a holistic, patient-centered, disease-specific approach to care planning and management.
That is what we do through a broad range of clinical skills:
