Home healthcare is professional medical care and support services delivered directly in a patient's home rather than in a hospital, clinic, or facility setting. It allows individuals to receive quality care in the comfort and familiarity of their own environment while maintaining independence and dignity.

Types of Home Healthcare Services Include:

Skilled Nursing Care – Registered Nurses (RNs) and Licensed Practical Nurses (LPNs) providing medical care like wound care, medication management, IV therapy, and monitoring vital signs

Personal Care Services – Assistance with daily living activities

(bathing, dressing, grooming, meal preparation, mobility support)

Therapy Services – Physical, occupational, and speech therapy

Medical Social Services – Counseling and community resource coordination

Companion Care – Non-medical support and companionship

At Atlanta Priority Caregivers, safety and quality aren't just priorities—they're the foundation of everything we do. We've built our entire operation on RN-level policies and protocols to ensure every client receives professional, compassionate, and medically sound care.
