Services for Tama County Residents

Our home health agency will contact you to determine if home care services are appropriate. They will do an assessment on your mental health, physical condition, medication use, current support systems and home environment. Working closely with your physician your care plan is based on your individual needs. How frequently services are provided in your home are dependent on your individual needs and prescribed by your primary care physician. This helps to determine if you are able to remain in your home safely and independently while determining any risks that could impact your health and safety.
