At Altimate Home Health Care, we approach all patients as individuals, carefully assessing the client’s physical, financial, social and psychological needs. We will work closely with caregivers and physicians to develop a personalized plan of care and assign a professional that best matches the needs of the client. The plan of care will outline the services, frequency and duration of visits, and will coordinate with our internal and external health providers as necessary. After a caregiver is assigned, our agency performs routine follow-up visits at your home to make sure all expectations are being met.
