- Social Work Services: Counseling, links with community services, help with financial, social and emotional concerns for patients and families, assistance with long term care planning and more.
- Home Health Aide Services: Help with basic activities of daily living such as bathing, dressing and exercising.
Tele-health Services: We offer the "Health Buddy" Tele-health system - a remote disease management monitoring solution which utilizes a small, easy-to-use, in-home communication device to connect clinicians and patients with chronic diseases on a daily basis. The system serves as the interface between patients at home and York Hospital Home Care providers when they are not present in the patient’s home and can signal situations that need intervention. Staff monitor patient sessions and relay information so as to be able to proactively intervene before a patient’s condition worsens. This can prevent unnecessary emergency visits to the hospital and doctors' offices, or other costly medical venues.
York Hospital Home Care is not limited to York Hospital patients:
The team accepts referrals for evaluations and skilled home care regardless of healthcare system or hospital, for all patients living in the Yorks, Kittery, Eliot, Wells, Moody, Ogunquit, the Berwicks and Kennebunk.
York Hospital Home Care provides services 7 days a week. An intake nurse is available to help with patient care referrals Monday through Friday, 8am-5pm and on-call nurses are also available 24 hours a day. Once a referral is made, a York Hospital clinician will contact you within 24 hours of referral or discharge from a facility and will arrange a visit within 24-48 hours of discharge. Please note, physician orders are required for any treatment that is provided.
