National Home Care and Hospice Month is this month and this is the ideal time to learn more about Panhandle Home Health and the important services that we typically don’t think about until we need them. No one expects to need home care services, but what a relief to know this type of care is available – whether it’s for you or a family member – right here in your community!

Panhandle Home Health provides personalized medical and supportive services in a patient's home, offering benefits like greater independence, improved quality of life, and reduced hospital visits. It is not limited to the elderly and can include skilled nursing, therapy, and aide assistance for various conditions, making it a cost-effective and convenient alternative to institutional care.

Facts about home health care
• Wide range of services: Services go beyond basic medical care and can include diet evaluation, physical therapy, IV injections, and wound dressing.
• Various providers: Home health agencies employ a variety of healthcare specialists, including nurses, physical and occupational therapists, social workers, and home health aides.
• Not just for the elderly: Home health care is available for people of all ages who have disabilities, chronic illnesses, or are recovering from surgery or an injury.
• Effectiveness: Studies have shown that home health care can be just as effective as care received in a hospital or skilled nursing facility.
• Growing industry: Home health care is a growing sector with a considerable number of agencies in the United States.
• Regulation: Home health care services are regulated and held to safety standards to ensure patients receive quality care.

As we prepare for Thanksgiving and recall our many gifts, please remember the home care professionals in our community who make a difference every day for our loved ones. They make it possible for the healing to begin at home.

Panhandle Home Health has received a grant from the First United Community Dreams Foundation in the sum of $2,500.00 for it’s Pathways to Professional Growth Program.

Lisa Bivens stated, “we were thrilled to receive a grant from First United representatives, Denise Hess and Brett Butler to launch this strategic initiative.”

The Professional Growth program is designed to strengthen the home health workforce by investing in the development of both clinical and non-clinical staff. The program will provide tuition reimbursement, continuing education support, and certification assistance to current and newly hired employees. These efforts are aimed at improving employee retention, attracting qualified professionals, and addressing care gaps caused by ongoing workforce shortages. “Our ultimate goal is to build a more stable, skilled workforce capable of delivering high-quality care to residents of West Virginia’s Eastern Panhandle.”
